Saudis recall Sweden ambassador amid diplomatic row

Sweden's in a heck of a lot of trouble. If Saudia Arabia isn't happy there's not much good coming their way.

We cancelled the weapons contract we had with them. We don't purchase any oil from them. We don't do any business with them. It's not like Saudi Arabia could anything about it.

Good job Sweden.

This is like the only comment in this thread praising Sweden. I can't believe people are upset with Sweden for criticizing Saudi Arabia's complete lack of human rights. Women aren't allowed to drive, and they live under Sharia law. The place is a complete shithole.

I really wish the rest of the world would rally behind Sweden. Countries condemn ISIS but have no problem selling weapons to Saudi Arabia. The hypocrisy is astonishing.

Unfortunately the world stood behind Saudi Arabia and ditched Sweden. Your king has to come out and apologized at the end.

Meh, we're not really losing anything. We're not conducting any business with them. Besides, everyone knows it's awful country anyways.

Saudia arabia rules by it's king and does not like outside influence and Sweden foreign minister found that out and was stopped from speaking to them. It can be hard dealing with these sort of countries, if the wrong thing is said they take offence very easily and will be hard to regain the trust. It will be interesting to see what happens and, how it plays out, as Sweden now has to be careful in future talks with the country.
