Sweden and the Cold War

I was shocked when I saw a huge Volvo commercial billboard in the central metro station of
Stockholm stating "Volvo made by TURKEY"!  It turned out that each one of the stations was actually carrying other versions of it like "made by Italy, France" and etc.  It was the time that most of the Swedish people were anxious (some of them still are) about the immigrant situation that was going on in the several parts of Sweden. However, this is a nation that is inspired and powered by the change itself (about any sociological, philosophical, scientific topic). Many countries can learn from Sweden about any topic you chose, but if you focus on the political and diplomatic strategies that we saw from Sweden, especially the ones applied during the Cold War, it is nearly impossible to ignore the simplicity and the beauty of these decisions. 

What an outstanding way of respecting nature and human, it is the "Volvo Way". They actually use this term "Volvo Way" (became a kind of tradition) when they want to refer the actions that respect nature, human, environment and etc.
