I don&#x27;t think that Sweden will storm a foreign embassy in a foreign country non the least, and if the US wanted him that bad they would&#x27;ve gotten him already.<p>The guard most likely wasn&#x27;t to keep him safe, but to keep him in the embassy at all time, this is the same kind of guard that a US diplomat would&#x27;ve gotten while visiting the USSR and probably still gets when they visit Russia and vice versa.
