Norway borders Russia if you’re being technical, but yes the entire of Finland is within about 400 miles of Russia, and Helsinki just over 100 miles from border, where Oslo is 1000.
Isn't this a bit of fetishization of the white man? Pretty sure all European countries have competent health agencies and AFAIK, the nordic countries do not score particularly well in health care metrics.
If he had said South Korea, Japan and Thailand, would you then have accused him of fetishization of the asian man? What is your point with such a stupid and unnecessary remark?
Health care in Sweden isn't what I seem to recall it to be in the early 2000s. But to imply that it does not "score well" is completely false.
