Sweden vs. Cuba

Watch out! Cuba and Sweden are mad at each other:

Cuba-Sweden diplomatic row grows

Sweden's foreign minister is standing by his criticism of Cuba's human rights record, as a diplomatic row between the two countries shows no sign of abating.

This is funny:

Cuba responded to Carl Bildt's comments at the UN by deriding what it called Sweden's imperial past.

Following the address, the Cuban representative, Juan Antonio Fernandez Palacios, accused Sweden of hypocrisy.

He said Mr Bildt's comments recalled "the not-so-glorious days of Swedish imperialism, which filled with blood and pain their neighbouring countries".

"Cuba, unlike Sweden, does not persecute migrants or carry out ethnic cleansing that only allows those whose skin and hair colour fit with the racial patterns of former Viking conquerors to remain in the country," he was then quoted as saying.

The Vikings? Is this guy serious?

When Cuba has a problem with Sweden, you know they are isolated. Sweden talks with and gives money to everybody.
