Just days after Russia attacked Ukraine on Feb 24, Finnish entrepreneur Sissi Moberg found herself scouring the Internet for courses that could teach her skills to help defend Finland in case of a military attack.

"I felt very sad for the Ukrainians. And then I started to worry about Finland and thinking what could I do about this," the 46-year-old mother-of-four told Reuters.

Within weeks, Moberg was on a course intended for reservists and learning how to use a gun and move on a battlefield.

Russia? Shouldn’t they be worried about mooselimbs? Maybe they are, just Russians getting the blame.

Tell your dictatorial female president to have your country remain neutral.

All this time I thought Scandinavian women were hot. The photo from the article proves I was wrong.

They are a sovereign nation, why should they have to do what you, Soros, or other globalists tell them?

They don’t seem to care about the EU communists, climate extremists, and de-genderizers.

Finlanders are not Scandinavian. However, there are many hot women in Finland.

75 years and peace and neutrality.

Throw away by the whim of a female president.

Maybe have a vote on that?

Yes, years of peace, neutrality, and sovereignty.

You want them to surrender their freedom to Putin and Soros and become serfs.

You forget that Russia (Soviets) already invaded Finland and tried to occupy the country in 1939 as part of the Molotov - Ribbentrop pact

Putin has made threats against Finland, among others

Finland can decideits own course

Rough bunch.

Belgium, Czech and French women learning self defense would be better.

Just sayin’.

............as a large country (geographically) but only 5.5 million in population, I admire the women’s patriotism and in an all out conventional war with Russia there would seem little doubt that all these trained women would be a huge assistance to their Army and their countrymen.

But, with a 13,000 man army, and with potentially tens of thousands of Russians coming across the border, these women would do a lot more good if they went down to the Ukraine and hung out around the men operating the 177 howitzers for about 30 days (call it training).

I say this because the women can’t realistically fight a 200lb Russian man hand to hand but they could sure kill a lot of Rooskies operating the computers and drones that bring artillery shells raining down on the Russians.

This would free up a lot of men to man the front lines.

“Tell your dictatorial female president to have your country remain neutral.”

Have we forgotten the great man who called them “The Evil Empire”.

is probably not the best way to learn to defend your country from the Russian Orcs.
