Sweden Breaks Arms Agreement, Saudi Arabia Recalls Ambassador

19. And here's the rub

"After the diplomatic dispute broke, Social Democratic lawmakers called on Prime Minister Stefan Löfven to not renew the memorandum, and that prompted business leaders to warn that the country’s reputation as a trading partner would be at stake."

Bravo for Sweden, but they have to risk their economy for making a stand. Capitalism does not function well with silly emotional outbursts like this. *sarcasm*.

Too bad oil has such a strangle hold on the world. We let anything go on in that medieval torturous regime. You don't want to be on the outs with SA. I predict these Swedish business groups will soon bear down and force a reversal on this decision. Unless all western and a good number of middle eastern nations join in not only condemnation, but actual actions like this, they will continue to get a free pass. I mean, after they paid no price at all after 9/11, where the terrorists originated from...and instead their allies the US attacks their oil competitor neighbour country...you know something is rotten.
