Some facts about Nordic UN troops. Sweden have contributed in excess of 80000 UN troops over the years(since 1946). How many have the other Nordic ries contributed, I read that only Finland had sent more UN personnel than Sweden(although that might have been on recent years basis), Is this correct? Current UN forces: link UN poersonnel count for Scandinavian countries during May was: Denmark: 57 (13 combat troops). Norway: 54 (12 combat troops). Finland: 227 (201 combat troops). Sweden: 402 (333 combat troops).

In the first place, the UN is just one organisation for Denmark to send peacekeeping troops, and as the united nation is severely compromised in the peacekeeping role, I profesy that Danish participation will further diminish. The military side of the UN is so poorly led, that there are severe doubts in Denmark as to the use of it. If You want to say anything positive of the founding fathers of the UN, You should mention Lie (Norwegean) and Hermod Lannung (Dane). The problem about mentioning illustrious international Swedes is that they are not only dead, but they got assasinated. Charles XII was shot by his own, Dag Hamersköld shot out of the sky, Oluff Palme gunned down, Anna Lind stabbed.. shall I continue. Whatever the reason, those characters cannot be said to have gained overwhelming popularity and unequivivocal support for their way of thinking. It has for long been my contention, that Sweden is falling apart, as the only reason they survived was they were able to play the USA against the Soviet and vise versa. Today nobody cares what Sweden says.
