This is what the US does to Swedish companies, only with the added benefit of running them into the ground (I'll never forgive what they did to Saab)

Oh please, who are you kidding? SAAB would have been dead at least a decade earlier if GM didn't try to save them. The only reason they lasted as long as they did was because of GM's injection of money into the company.

They are still a thing, just not in the car world.

So you claim that SAAB was already lost when GM heroically decided to step in and do some charity?

You are very wrong and of course GM saw a value in SAAB that was more intellectual property than manufacturing cars.
