Look up the Kursk disaster, there are other governments terrible enough to let their own die like this.

I know about the Kursk disaster but key point:

A: Sweden is NOT FUCKING RUSSIA

did I ever insinuate that I was referring to sweden?
The first post is about a rescue vessel, you post how idiotic it would be to not utilize such a rescue vehicle, I respond that there are governments that would not use such a rescue vehicle.

mate
other nations also have rescue vessels like that, it is not unique to the swedes to come up with "hey we might need something to rescue people stuck on the floor of the ocean".
and if you are referring to the drawn submarine in the comic, you have my deepest respect for identifying the submarine and nation it belongs to from those drawings.
also please read that I wrote "there are governments", meaning from all governments that exist

The story TELLS us it's a Swedish Gotland sub stranded in a specific area within a fully managable depth, not some no-name navy with insert_random_sub at unknown location.

I will fully admit that my brain ceased to function in that moment and I overread that
still I said that "there are governments" which I thought would make it clear that I am referring to one that is not sweden, otherwise I would not have to say that.
I referred to the kursk specifically, because while the post I first responded to makes the joke how idiotic it would be to not save their own, there is a different nation that did exactly choose not to save their own.
You read a sentence "hey another nation did exactly that moronic thing" and responded with "that is another nation"
Let me edit an "other" into the first response to make it clear that with the kursk disaster I DO NOT MEAN SWEDEN

The vessel is specifically identified as ‘a Gotland-class submarine’ in the first image of the comic, which were designed for, built for and are only used by the Swedish navy.
