Looks like others have educated you. I have a friend who was anLt General in the Finnish defense forces till a couple years ago. We have had long conversations about their history and their military organization. The Finns are tough and tenacious! They were under Russia’s thumn until the early 90s. The term Finlandization was coined to describe that particular hell. The President has to really be approved by the Soviets. They were a western country and had to placate the USSR. That changes when the USSR fell. They are one of the best equipped and capable forces in NATO.
thats fine. and I was indeed educated. but... I stand firm on letting them all pay for their wars themselves instead of the USA paying for it. and, as history proves, when we mention NATO, the is code speak for the USA paying the bills. Granted, Trump is attempting to stop that. but what happens when Trump leaves office??
