Yeah after The Winter War, which Finland also had huge losses but the Soviets it was far worse, most people know not to mess with the Finns. Hopefully Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany and other countries start telling islam that it is not welcome in those countries.

Yup. He has sisu.

Here is a well known Finn telling James May what sisu is. Go to 4:33 if you want to fast foward to the sisu part.

I recall this Finn winning the WC at the very fast Japanese Suzuka circuit. The in car shots looked like the tape was being sped up because it was so fast. One of the fastest race car drivers in history. He has sisu.

Same thing the leftist trolls will do if Chris Christie runs for pres. Tear him down for his weight.

So compassionate, are these socialists.

A joke I can understand.
I like the heritage of the Finns.
If he is a good guy for Finland then he is OK.

As to personal looks - Politics is an ugly game. Pretty boys usually fall short of having what it takes.

There are only 9000 Finnish Catholics, most of them Polish immigrants, only one priest of Finnish descent serves in all of Fionland: ‘The Bishop of Helsinki is Mgr. Teemu Sippo, appointed on June 16, 2009. He is the first Finn to serve as a Catholic bishop for over 500 years.’ — wiki

There are a few other priests, but they are from Poland. With 9000 Catholic men, women, and children you do not need that many priests.
