“Why don’t Russians like Charles XII?”
Who the hell cares?
“He showed no respect for Russia, he was not afraid, he was proud, and he was right.”
Except he lost. Sweden’s empire died with him as well.
“There have been few military geniuses like him throughout history and while his troops were on Russian soil Sweden could steer the future of our eastern neighbor.”
And he still lost. And Sweden’s empire died with him as well.
“Today, a Viking nation like Sweden, the nation displaying the highest standard of living on Earth, is pushed back by idiotic and lesser nations like Britain and Germany.”
Your sissified nation is not a “Viking nation” but a degraded, politically correct country which is handing itself over to Kurds, Arabs, Pakistanis and Somalis who rape your women at will while you post nostalgically about losers who died 300 years ago.
“You’ll hear from us Vikings.”
No, we won’t. 1) You’re not Vikings. 2) You can’t do squat.
“Wether you like it or not, we are not through yet.”
Yes, you are. And I don’t like it, but it is precisely because of losers like you that Sweden is done. It’s through. Over.
I admit we Swedes no longer care much about Charles XII. But although he lost at Poltava, he weakened Russia beyond belief and while Sweden moved along, Russia stayed a second rate nation.
The Russians are still afraid of the Swedes because the Russians know we are technologically superior and are good friends of the Nato alliance.
Russia today is cornered and is not likely of ever becoming a leading country in any important area whatsoever.
Please pardon me for saluting a true leader like Charles XII.
