    This but a little bit unironically. They and their Scandinavian neighbors went unaligned during the Cold War and reaped an enormous peace dividend.

    Now that the country is getting sucked into the Ukraine-Russia mess, they’re pivoting towards domestic spending cuts and tighter immigration rules and a big new military budget.

      Strange that, when a country invaded another country, invades that same country again a handful of years later, and then that same invading country threatens to invade your country if you try to join a certain group of people, that you might go ahead and try to prevent that country from invading you.

      Very strange.

        Wouldn’t be the first time Finland teamed up with a bunch of fascists.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Heusinger

            Operations Chief within the general staff of the High Command of the German Army in the Wehrmacht from 1938 to 1944.

            Chairman of NATO Command from 1961 to 1964

            And it only gets worse from there.
