@louisecorchevolle9241 There are memorial plaques to Henri Philippe Pétain and Pierre Laval, the head and prime minister of France’s collaborationist Vichy government which hunted down and deported 67,000 Jews to the concentration camps. Pétain is honored with 11 streets in the U.S
Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych, both have busts in upstate New York and Wisconsin.
Andrey Vlasov, the Soviet general who went over to the Nazis and raised an army of over 100,000 men for the Third Reich, has a memorial just outside New York.
Chicago also has a memorial to Adolfas Ramanauskas-Vanagas, who commanded a unit of the Lithuanian Activist Front, a Nazi-allied organization whose members slaughtered Jews across Lithuania in the summer of 1941.
There you go, according to you this is proof that a majority of Americans are Nazis, right?
Also Russia has TONS of statues of Stalin, the man that purged the Polish army and intellectuals several times, does that mean all Russians are communists that support the genocide of Poles?

I agree somewhat with the second part of your assessment even though I find it a little bit overexaggerated. About Sweden's military I don't agree. Sweden's military has 24.000 active personnel Finland has 21,500. Finland does have 900.000 reserves but that is because you have a system of conscription which means that every able man from 18-49 will be called in and Sweden don't at this point. That doesn't mean you have an active pool of 200k ground forces. Only 21,500 men are active in the Finish military and if attacked every man between 18-49 will be conscripted into the military no matter if they want to or not. If you compare the Defence spending Sweden spends $7.18 billion dollars 2022, Finland's regular defence spending for 2022 is around $3 Billion dollars with a one time increase for around 2 billion which totals to 5 billion dollars in 2022. Even with a very downscaled military Sweden regularly spends almost twice as much as Finland on the military, 2022 is an exception since Finland decided to increase the budget by 70% for this year only. I do believe the Finns are more motivated to fight than us Swedes though, you have prepared for another Russian invasion for 70 years and the population is more mentally prepared for an armed conflict. This part I agree with although I think this has more to do with geography and history.
As a Swede that is highly critical of the way our government handles crisis I agree with your next part but the 10x mortality rate is just plain wrong if you look deaths per million inhabitants Sweden's numbers are 3 times higher, which is bad but not really 10x bad. The lack of medical supplies is true and our total ICU beds are incredibly low which is alarming but is irrelevant for this pandemic as we were never on full capacity and Sweden have never had a mask mandate, even to this day few people use face masks. So yes our Crisis management is very bad but the lack of medical equipment had little influence of the outcome of this pandemic, we got very lucky this time. Medical equipment and ICU beds + face masks did very little to stop the pandemic, we have countries like America and the UK with a lot more deaths/1 million inhabitants and they have tons of Medical equipment, ICU beds and face masks.
But those are just my opinions on the matter, I am not for lockdowns at all I am actually living in China right now and considering to return home to Sweden for the first time in 7 years just because of the strict quarantine measures here. When you are stuck in your own apartment for more than a month several times of the year because your city has less than 10 cases you get tired of strict quarantine measures quick. Maybe that's just me being selfish but being able to go to a society that has more of a "live with the virus" approach is a big plus to me. Our government is shit handling a crisis I agree but having no COVID lockdowns is something I applaud them for.
