The only person interested in war is Shorty Zelinsky.

Yes, the Finns were invaded by Russia and fought valiantly. They also negotiated a peace with Russia and gave up 10% of their land. Just saying....

Not to worry.

Europe will protect Finland.

THEN:

In April 2023, Finland became the 31st member of North Atlantic Treaty Organization, aligning itself with the United States, ending generations of Finnish military neutrality between the West and Russia.

 

 

NOW:

I've made a huge mistake

Dear Fin:

America is not your sugar daddy and we are not responsible for your defense. May I say it is time to grow up and take care of your own foreign relation issues. I will add if you want more American involvement do something that will profit America, if you manage to find something that is mutually beneficial all the better.

PS: You actions in WW2 were not exactly exemplary, in fact they were down right horrible in what side you chose until the end of the war when you switched sides faster than even Italy.

Yours respectfully
The American Citizens

Interesting the Finn letter writer is firmly in the pro-Ukrainian camp.

The Finns have serious experience with Russia.

PS. My view: never even think of trusting a Russian politician. Full stop.

Or an American one either.

But internationally, is he singlehandedly rewriting the US foreign policy?

Why yes sport, he is. The “US foreign policy” is not something that exists all by itself that a president must follow.

Some say that Sweden and Finland joining NATO actually simplified Russian war planning. Instead of having to go around to the north to get to Norway, now they can push straight through.

Gee, you wouldn’t think that being almost completely surrounded right up to your borders by NATO would worry Russia. A 1,400 hundred-mile front? No problem.

Take warnings seriously about Finns with skin in the game.

Finns are dramatic socialists. Not a serious country. They elected a 34 year old party girl to Prime Minister.
Like all chicks, belonging is the most important thing. That is why they headed into NATO. Money and being in the club.

Now comes these clowns, harkening back to the 1930s USSR and WWII Stalin era is just more of their socialist retardation. It would be as valid as saying you “know” the USA because you experienced 1940 America.

Post-Soviet Russia hasn’t bothered Finland at all. It was Finland that cut off the gas pipeline into Finland from Russia.

These small minded petty nations are gobsmacked when America doesn’t have permanent enemies and join into their old world grudges.

It’s a new golden era. Pumping GDP into war is a recipe for economic strain and war mongering. A strong defense to preserve peace is different than poking the bear. America has better things to do like MAGA.

To alleviate the stress of argument here, this was a joke I heard in “junior high school” as we used to call it.

On the way to the rest room you’re Russian.
While there, European.
And finally Finnish.

You really missed the Soviet Union. The 80s called and they want their foreign policy back.

I do not want to hear about how we have “shared values” with Finland:

They sided with Satan—their call, not ours.

"...I used to consider the US our (and Europe's, and NATO’s and Canada's) friend, and Russia our common foe. Now it seems both are our foes. The narrative seems to tell that Trump and Putin have already divided the world into spheres of interest, and well, Eastern if not all of Europe is soon under another Warsaw Pact...

And do you and the American people believe Russia is as of this month no longer your enemy?

Has Trump simply decided Putin will offer him a better deal than Ukraine and to hell with the rest? Or is he simply being deceived? Does he buy Putin's lines (read: lies) because he admires the man so much? Or does Putin have Trump so deeply in his pocket that he does whatever he is told to do?

Or is it the exact opposite, and Trump is double- and triple-crossing Putin to ultimately push the Russians to step over a line and then be put firmly back in their place? Or have the two simply come to align on an anti-China stand, for Trump to have an ace up his sleeve against Xi and Putin trying to crawl out from underling position vs Xi?

I have always liked and admired Finns. But this guy appears to be an idiot. A genuine idiot who can't think for himself, and swallows whole what his media and Euro-Chattering Class feed him.

How sad.

Finns are a strange people with a strange socialist culture, and they have no relevance to America. They have little to teach us beyond making very pure pine tar, saunas, sauteed reindeer, cool ways to build a campfire, reengineering and building the ultimate in Mosin Nagant rifles, etc.
Their language is bizarre, like Hungarian or something.

But then their speeding tickets are assessed based on your income.

Strange people, no need for them to be an enemy .... and America should enjoy them... at a distance.

Russia, Russia, Russia.

The Russians pooped in the hallway while you were gone.

It’s a propaganda obsession
