So we support Brazilian oil development with billion of US dollars . And now we get the drilling from them...

 

[Richard Cranium]

Thank you Dear Leader.

Umm well stop spying on everyone..I don't know how else to put it..Of course countries are going to be upset about it.

Not only did we give them $2 billion, but we also promised to buy the oil. All on top of blocking oil exploration in US waters. We don't know our *** from a hole in the ground.

Hey, don't worry...........Barry and the other vampires out in DC will just cut out even more tuition from active/veteran military, and just take a bigger chunk from veterans pensions than they already have, then line Boeing's corporate's pockets with the difference from loosing the contract. Probably just raise our taxes a bit more to slush the fund so Boeing's hurt feelings can be washed away. Before too long we'll all be that bearded guy wandering around on the side of the mountain, with a donkey, draped with pots and pans.

If this is the same SAAB that built the cars, those Brazilian fighter pilots better pack an extra parachute with them. Just sayin'.

 

[67 B-body]

Well, since our Government believes they are the worlds police, and feel the right to SPY on allies governments and CITIZENS, it's no surprise they would tell us to **** off!
I tell them to **** off every time they come to mind!!!! Why should these other nations feel any different? Wrong is wrong, and our so called Government is littered with wrongs!!!!
I'm proud of our nations founding principles, but do not support there corrupt ways of today!
GOD BLESS THE CARING PEOPLE OF OUR NATION AND TO HELL WITH ITS ROTTEN LEADERS!

 

[super-bee_ski]

Yeah, huh?
They are NOT buying the F-18 Super Hornet...
they are buying the SAAB (Sweeden) Griffen...
Loser!

Pretty typical for Saab, or Sweden. They provided as much iron ore as Hitler wanted. They provided arms to anyone who would buy them throughout the Cold War. They never became a member of NATO. Their neutrality, throughout the 20th century was always a means to play on both sides of the fence. During the 70's, when the rest of Europe was in recession, Sweden prospered due to major economic support from the USSR.

 

[Budnicks]

You have absolute no idea what your talking about, the friendship between Sweden and USA has always been much stronger and a PITA to USSR, Sweden has never got a cent from them, I guess you haven't read about all these help you have got from Sweden since WW2, do your homework before you are accusing us for stuff that never happened, the part of Hitler I can agree but the rest is nonsense.

I wonder if the ignition switch on their jets are also placed down low on the console?

The Hitler part was forced, and you obviously know this. As far as the USSR/Sweden trade agreements, I did do my research. Sorry to offend you, but Sweden exported pulp and paper goods, iron and steel, and chemicals to the USSR. They had a Science and Technology agreement with USSR. http://www.foia.cia.gov/sites/default/files/document_conversions/89801/DOC_0000491523.pdf

Everything Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez said about USA is true, period.

I don't necessarily disagree with you. In his "devil" speech about Bush, Chavez referenced Noam Chomsky's "Hegemony or Survival" which was brilliant. Castro is another story.

Love us or hate us, we have built some awesome cars.

Ha Ha Ha...Hugo Chavez KILLED, BEAT and MAIMED immingrant farmers trying to work in the fields!
Yup, he "strong-armed" them and kept his own people out to protect his "gang"that thad work!

Yeah, he was a Saint!

PS: You'd be speaking German if it the U.S did not step in and defeat the NAZIs...!
Come on, I thought you guys/gals from Sweeden were supposed to be smart!

This was sarcasm didn't thought I have to explain that, I was raised in a period when everybody except the communist hated USSR here in Sweden, now you let me know we were followers and depended of them? Wow.

All I can think of is that there's got to be another Nobel Prize in this somewhere.

Know your history do you??

But conveniently left out the fact that Ford, Chase Bank, Standard Oil, and IBM ALL did business with the Nazis as well during the war.
