Several Swedish lawmakers said Friday they will boycott this year’s Nobel Prize ceremonies after the private foundation that administers the prestigious awards changed its policy and invited Russia, Belarus and Iran who had previously been barred from attending.
I mean maybe to export them afterwards to The Hague Court?

Just to be clear, Sweden harbored Jews during WWII and is the main reason why occupied Denmark had a much lower rate of killed than other occupied countries.
Sweden like Ukraine joined the Nazi Party in WW2 and mass murdered many many innocent people. Stop defending Nazis
We armed and trained the Norwegian resistance, and fought the nazis in Norway while harboring their king in a Swedish safehouse. Once control of the country was achieved the Norwegian king was swiftly returned to power. Basically every allied ship and base was equipped with swedish bofors anti air guns. During the early war while the soviets and hitler were allies, volunteers from the swedish military assisted the fins during the winter war while massive donations of military hardware was delivered. Totaling about 50 million bullets, 135.000 rifles, 800 machineguns, 144 field guns, 100 anti-aircraft guns, 92 anti-tank guns, wit in total 30.000 shells, 17 fighters, 6 bombers.
To top it all off, we were also a safeheaven for Danish and norwegian Jews that ran from the Germans. We hid and protected almost every jew in entire Denmark, and about half of all the Jews in Norway.
But yes, continue lecturing us about how wrong you are.
So NATO shills don’t want peace. Nothing strange about that, NATO is a genocidal alliance dedicated to mass murder
Peace without justice is as meaningless as ice cream with no sugar. I’d rather a just war be fought than an unjust peace be maintained.
I’m sorry to break this to you guys, but the Nobel peace prize looooves war criminals. They gave one to Henry Kissinger ffs.
That said this does change my view of the NPP, I always thought they were sycophantic poll chasers who only gave awards to people with good enough PR to hide what monsters they are. Somehow they’ve now aligned themselves with moustache-twirling evil instead of the nonchalant kind.
The peace prize is awarded by Norway, not Sweden
One of the prizes is for peace… Everyone should be allowed in the interest of peace. Even if the invitees haven’t been very peaceful.
The NPP is awarded in Norway, not Sweden. Considering that the prize has been awarded to various Russian dissidents and Belarussian/Russian oppositional groups the past few years - and that Russia declared the 2021 winner a foreign agent, I’d say it’s safe to assume no one from the their official governments will attend anytime soon.
WTF is wrong with them?
I suspect there must have been some kind of coup in the Nobel leadership. They also invited Swedens far right party leader despite Banning him for over a decade. That on its own hands the far right in Sweden such an optical win that I can only assume it is malicious. As a Swede I am so fucking disappointed in them.
Edit: coup, not cue. I don’t write words good.
They declined though and said that no one should attend
