You mean Dutch right?  
No offense to anyone :P
 
Americans would have been speaking Swedish.
 
Norsemen were also the first Europeans to land on North America about a thousand years ago centuries before French, English, or Spanish.

@SeraphimDawn  
We would have had a new Sweden if it hadn’t been for those filthy swamp Germans.

I didn’t know Sweden HAD a colony in North America and the Caribbeans in the 17th century.  
Interesting…

Legend has it that he sent ambassadors to various regions, Islamic Middle East and the Greek Orthodox Christian Byzantium. They ultimately chose to align themselves with Byzantine Empire.  
“Russians cannot exist without drink!”
 
hen Constantinople fell in 1453 t the Ottoman Turks. Russia was given the responsibility to carry the torch as the “3rd Rome”.

Please keep rule #0 in mind, even when discussing politics.

Of course, if Vladimir the Great had thought differently about that “no alcohol” thing when considering to which religion he should convert, this could have been very different.

@SwedishSnus  
But today the Russians could just yell “Kränkt!” and forced the army to return home.

@SeraphimDawn  
read about the Battle of Narva, outnumbered once again but thanks to a snowstorm we were able to attack and win over the russian army. After the battle we had taken every single cannon in the entire russian army as well as most of their muskets and other military equipment. If we so wished we could have marched to Moscow without any real military resistance. Good times.

@Alex Vostox  
Honestly.  
The Battle of Fraustadt has to one of the most epic clutch in the history of warfare on the Swedish side.
 
Not only were the Swedes heavily outnumbered. They lacked artillery and other things. Yet they absolutely DESTROYED the enemy coalition without suffering significant casualties.

Sabaton did better than my social studies classes in teaching me about wars.

@SeraphimDawn
 
Now yer wished for Joakim to be yer history teacher.

Gott mit uns
 
Sabaton songs are addicting.

@SwedishSnus

The Finns make better pirog. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@Andreas98  
But piroshki! D:

@SeraphimDawn  
Borscht ruins everything.

Anyways.  
It was amazing how Sweden was one of the world’s major military political powers back in the days of empires.
 
Until they lost to Russia…

@Andreas98  
But there is point where they have to say enough is enough right?  
I don’t want to sound xenophobic being a naturalized citizen in my country myself.  
It seems authorities treat the immigrants better than they do native citizens. Ans the silencing of critics to the immigration being branded “xenophobes” isn’t helping anyone. What happened to free speech, common sense, and integrity?  
Did you know people can actually be prosecuted if they are caught criticizing immigration online in Germany?  
And there are those who deliberately turn a blind eye to the obvious problems mass unsustainable immigration brings into the continent. Angela Merkel literally demanding other European countries to take in quotas of refugees against the wills of those countries and their people. Many of these countries can barely take care of themselves, why should they be responsible of taking care of others? This threatens sovereignty.

@SeraphimDawn  
That’s because most are economic migrants and not people in the need of help.
