Despite the geographical distance and inhospitable winter weather, Finland has emerged as an unlikely destination for refugees and migrants in recent months. More than 30,000 refugees seeking asylum have traveled to the country this year, a dramatic increase from the typical 3,000 or so.

Where is Mannerheim when the Finns need him?
Mannerheims and Martels are always notoriously hard to find.
After generations of the neutering of the European male it may be impossible to find one.
Sounds like ABJECT RACISM on the part of the Finns. Hopefully their leaders are hauled before the WORLD COURT and given very long sentences.
