The Nordic Countries (Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Norway and Denmark) is a nightmare of both Marxism and Islam.

Most Scandinavians of today eat pork, own stock, place individual well-being before that of their next door neighbor and happen to experience the ideals of Islam as foreign to us, to say the least.

Still we do pretty well and no, this is not because of the NATO. To begin with, Sweden and Finland aren't NATO members (- and furthermore Finland managed to do what Hitler did not in the WWII; making Stalin look like the complete fool he actually was).

The opposite of the Golden Rule?

Yes, we noticed--during the 40 year unpleasantness known in the West as The Cold War.

Sorry you guys just couldn't make it, it was quite a time.

Uhhh, Finland beat the Russians to a standstill (albeit not one that left them in a favorable position) and then, as part of the deal they had to beat the Germans then occupying the warmer parts of the country as well.

In short, Finland beat both Russia and Germany in WWII ~ at a fraction of the cost expended by everyone else to first beat Germany and then isolate Russia.

They did it without nuclear weapons too.
