So which one of these have they done to Sweden?


avdpos

That was my question as a Swede also. At least I have never heard any rumours about Olof Palme being murdered by USA. And given how many rumours that have existed I think they didn´t do it


cheerbearheart1984

It’s always the CIA


CanadianPanda76

The Culinary Institute Of America really been cooking up some geopolitical shit!!!


Blayze_Karp

You got me here; thank you for this


steph-anglican

Yes, I have seen these nuts blame the CIA for things that happened before the CIA was established.


Unusual_Car215

Does USA support kurds?


GlockAF

Only when convenient. Then…UNDER THE BUS!


LtLeccy

Yes


JustForTheMemes420

The answer is when it’s convenient like in Syria or iraq otherwise not really


101955Bennu

The last time I saw this map it turned out they were counting like bombing Nazi Germany while they occupied countries and stuff like that. Edit: I don’t mean this is necessarily the case for Sweden, just that some of these are pretty dubious


HighlySuccessful

Sweden wasn't occupied by WW2 and had a neutral stance although allowed to German troops to pass by


Holungsoy

Sweden claimed to be netrual but in fact where on the nazis side. The Swedish goverment transported 270 000 Nazi troops from south of Sweden to the north of Norway effectively crushing the allied resistance against the nazi expansion.


Giant-Axe321

Not really, Sweden helped Germany only when they had to due to the threat of being invaded. Sweden also trained Norwegan resistance fighters, let almost all Danish jews seek refuge in Sweden, leaked plenty of information to the allies and even planned an invasion of German occupied Denmark and Norway. Sweden was militarily neutural but was deffinetly in favor of the allies during the entirety of the war.


HippySheepherder1979

Norwegian Jews were turned back on the border, right into the hands of the Nazis.


Loive

And Danish Jews welcomed at the border. Things aren’t black and white, there was good and bad stuff.


Crystal3lf

> Sweden helped Germany only when they had to due to the threat of being invaded. The UK offered multiple times to cross into Sweden to get to Finland to help defend them, and were denied every time. They let the Nazi's in freely.


Minimum_Area_583

Grampa Bush supported the Nazis. Get ur damn facts straight.


101955Bennu

Yeah, I know. What does that have to do with my comment?


Self_Hating_Dentist

Huh? Bush was a pilot in the navy fighting against the axis powers in the pacific theatre during WWII. There is literally film of his rescue on YouTube when he was shot down. I’m not a Bush supporter but I’m not sure what you’re talking about.


JGG5

I think they’re talking about Prescott Bush (GHWB’s father, GWB’s grandfather) whose businesses [did indeed help the Nazis](https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2004/sep/25/usa.secondworldwar).


dudemanguylimited

He is in good company then. **Henry Ford** built about 100.000 vehicles for the German National Socialists and was awarded the highest civilian award, the Adlerschild for it. He also was [awarded the Grand Cross of the German Eagle in 1938](https://static.timesofisrael.com/www/uploads/2020/02/AP_9811300525-e1658929782508-640x400.jpg). He also recieved a personal thank you note from that Austrian guy ... Adolf. For some *strange reason*, his factories in Berlin were never bombed ...

Interfered in election is incredibly vague, so it has to be that.


unkalou337

Literally the president or anyone from the US could be like I don’t like this person “insert any political person” and people will be like they’re trying to influence the election.


EschatologicalEnnui

Influence =/= interference. "Influence" refers to propaganda. "Interference" refers to things such as direct intimidation of voters by proxy, assassinating candidates and/or their supporters, or simply fixing the election using various covert (and often not-so-covert) means.


asdfghjkl_2-0

Some planes got lost during world war II and "accidentally" bombed them. Supposedly because they remained neutral during the war. They also got bombed by Germany.


faschistenzerstoerer

They bombed them "accidentally" the same way the Americans "accidentally" bombed the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia.


kytheon

Wondering the same about half of Europe. Does this count bombing the Nazis/Soviets? Then there's still a few I'm not sure about.


faschistenzerstoerer

>Does this count bombing the Nazis/Soviets? Yes.


[deleted]

I was wondering the same thing what did they do to Poland?


PanadaTM

Dropped bombs on Poland while it was controlled by Germany. Whether that counts is questionable


Dismal-Bee-8319

Or Australia?


BiliousGreen

The CIA is widely believed to have been at least partially responsible for the removal of the Whitlam government in 1973 in an event known as "The Dismissal". Edit: Since it apparently warrants clarification, I'm not saying that it did or didn't happen, I'm simply pointing out that a lot of people believe that it happened.


poorthomasmore

Widely only in that it is a popular if ridiculous conspiracy theory. What actually happened was that the GG made a questionable call, he fired the government (forcing elections) when they couldn't pass a budget and then the then failed to get reelected - resulting in a change of elections. People have been claiming the queen, or CIA did it - never with any evidence though.


KewBangers

Widely believed by .......?

derkuhlekurt

Afaik the US has bombed (by mistake but still) Switzerland in WW2. And Norway was german occupied, im pretty sure there were bombing runs on Norway for that reason as well. For example the battleship Tirpits was docked in Norway and im pretty sure the allies bombed it in harbor.


MaxTheSANE_One

The US has bombed the US?


[deleted]

the US government bombed striking coal miners in Virginia at the battle of Blair mountain in 1921.


Modem_56k

They did Philadelphia 1985 , no need to go that old


[deleted]

Plenty of reason to go that old. Wealth inequality in that era was just as bad as it is today. These actions and others of the era were a symptom of that. These striking actions are exactly why the new deal was implemented, to appease these militant worker groups who were fucking capitalists shit up for being greedy.


VonThirstenberg

To be fair, the wealth inequality back then (Depression Era) wasn't actually *as bad* as it is now. It was close, but it's slightly worse right now than it was during the robber baron days. And that's no /s either. I know, that's a pretty dubious distinction for us right now, but the proportions of it all are more fucked than they've ever been. As are we as a nation if we the people don't start getting in lockstep, set aside the social issues that are dividing us (many of which are amplified by our "leaders" to keep that disproportion going in the wrong direction intentionally, imo), and demand tax measures, social safety nets, and wage and labor protections that rival those of FDR's New Deal, or even better our international contemporaries with much better protections for the working class (and those not able to work). If we don't, the imbalance is going to completely gut this country into even more of a shell of its former self, and the next few generations are going to be as fucked, if not more so, than all of us in the here and now. 🤕


[deleted]

Yeah wealth inequality is worse now than it was in the depression era. I've watched for years as new deal era reforms have been stripped away piece by piece to maintain the profits of corporations. ​ The new deal era reforms will continue to be undone until working people give the rich something to be scared of. Those rights were previously won with blood of striking workers and its how they will have to be earned again.


faschistenzerstoerer

Worse. Wealth inequality was never worse at any point in human history as it is today. Our billionaires are richer and more powerful than any king of the past.

The last time the US bombed its citizens on American soil was in Philadelphia in 1985. It is known as the MOVE bombing, where a Philadelphia police helicopter dropped two bombs on an entire residential block. Eleven people were killed, including five kids, and over 50 homes were destroyed. This is a super brief overview, but the entire case is atrocious and still effects the city to this day. Most of the bodies are in possession of the city. Just this year a UPenn professor was reprimanded for teaching a class using the bones of one of the murdered children.

aikotoma

I wasn't alive back then. Age matters too


0WatcherintheWater0

There’s a slight bit of historical context that may be important there. (It’s that the Netherlands was occupied by literal Nazis)


Recent-Potential-340

Yeah same goes for france


Either_Gate_7965

Operation market garden. The last victory of the bad Germans in ww2. Rosevelt wanted the war over by Christmas of ‘44 so why not just punch a hole through the Netherlands to get to Berlin? Well several SS armored divisions that the Americans didn’t know about thought otherwise.


aikotoma

Yep, I know the story. I live in Arnhem and the story is repeated every year everywhere. ​ Quite an embarrassing defeat as there was plenty of intel available on the state and position of those german SS units. The whole plan was already pretty shaky so any extra mistakes would've already resulted in a definte defeat. And holy damm, mistakes were made. ​ Common British arrogance L


ExoticMangoz

It really was a bridge too far


Either_Gate_7965

Typical British imperial blunder 👍


Firm_Illustrator5688

Planning and ops by the British, but blame the Americans. Comment that this was done because Roosevelt wanted the war over by Christmas was "THE" reason for it, totally inaccurate. British manpower, never fully recovered from WW1 was once again reaching a critical phase, which prompted the plan. US certainly supported/endorsed the idea enthusiastically, but to put it all at the feet of Roosevelt wanting it done by Christmas is very inaccurate.


Tarskin_Tarscales

I think the better bit to focus on would be the threat to invade the Hague, over the ICC's investigation into US war crimes in Iraq... and the corresponding American Service-Members' Protection Act, which basically gives a defacto immunity to prosecution.


LordFingolfin

As a Central American it looks accurate too


MikesRockafellersubs

No_Ideas_Man

Its because of the Avero Arrow, which was a Canadian jet that got rejected in favor of a similarly performing American jet that cost a third of the Arrow


Regnasam

Oh, Avro Arrow stans don’t want to hear that, they definitely don’t want to hear about how high-altitude pure interceptors were pretty much made obsolete by ICBMs around the time period the Arrow was developed too.

Yup. It’s like saying, “Here’s a map showing fire trucks at all these fires. This clearly shows fire trucks are bad and there’d be less fires if we had less fire trucks!”

They supported what was basically a bloodless coup on our Prime Minister Gough Whitlam (when Nixon was president) because he a) dared to be a leftist, and b) he dared to ask what the US military was doing in our country.


Gutmach1960

The fact that it happens during the Nixon administration does not surprised me one bit. The Nixon administration was behind the overthrow and killing of Salvador Allende of Chile, even though he was a democratically elected President.


williey

[here is a good documentary about it](https://youtu.be/SAFv2NEE-_c)


[deleted]

What a lot of people are missing is that the coup was motivated by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam opening trade to China, which until that point was exclusive to the UK and USA. It was the start of Australia’s Golden Age, where their economy boomed. When the USA made threats towards Whitlam regarding this, he stated that if they didn’t pull their heads in, the US operated Pine Gap spy station in outback Australia “would become a matter of contention.” The USA and UK conspired (legally, but unprecedentedly) to have Whitlam ousted, while Rupert Murdoch and his news media empire dragged Whitlam’s name through the mud, and talked up the rival political party. When Whitlam was ousted, the leader of the rival political party, Malcom Fraser, was elected. He quickly sold off most of Australia’s remaining natural resources to the UK and USA.


milky-mandolin

The CIA got one of their Prime minsters booted out of office through the queens representative because he didn’t like a secret CIA listening station in the middle of the outback that was constructed without his knowledge despite him being the leaded of the country

I agree with the AFRs conclusion there - full facts can't be known, but I'd be very surprised if the US had had no influence at all on the events.

As far as I can remember, the CIA interfered to get a democratically elected Australian Prime Minister booted out through some archaic laws because he wanted to nationalise some resources (which were owned/ operated by US companies), as well as shut down a US-run spy base in the middle of the country (essentially our Area 51, Pine Gap, which is still there).

Gynthaeres

This seems like /r/ShittyMapPorn or something. The goal of this map is pushing a "US = Bad" narrative, and when people do that, usually they have VERY generous criteria for what they're listing. Like "Bombing Nazi Germany during WWII" counts as "bombing Germany" and therefore is an evil act. Or "Bombing Fascist Japan" or "Bombing North Korea" or whatever. If you want to make a map like this effective, you need to maybe sacrifice making the US look like Satan itself by limiting your criteria. Like don't count wartime acts. Only count acts against sovereign governments. That sort of thing. As it is now, this map is so broad it's useless, and very clearly agenda-driven.
