Because the US geopolitical goals and actions, while often reprehensible, generally speaking aren't against Swedish interests, whereas Russia is a much more direct threat to Sweden.
Why does China keep appeasing the US by not sending weapons to support Russia?
It's not appeasement if the party being "appeased" is not opposed to you to begin with.
Now you lost me, surely Hitler was being appeased by the Allies allowing him to do things they would've preferred him not to do?
Sure they would, but not as much as Russia doing the same but much closer to Sweden.
Sure then, if you want to call it that. But did it work? Were countries not invaded by the US thanks to Swedish appeasement?
Lemmygrad has an emoji for this 😆
