This is beyond "drinking the Kool-Aid" at this point, and very skillfully organised mass hysteria.
Finland, which kept relatively good relations with the USSR throughout the Cold War had actually been at extreme risk all along and must join Nato right now. Right... well at least they have a long border with Russia, not like Sweden... As long as they order F-35s everything's cool, I guess.
- jusssi 4y agoThe "relatively good relations" you speak of came with a great amount of licking ass and simultaneously preparing for the worst. It's not something we want to go back to. It's probably something that's hard to understand from a comfy armchair half a world away, so I guess that's an excuse for the condescending tone.
- mannerheim 4y agoFinlandisation is a dirty word in Finland. 'Good relations' were maintained by giving up an independent foreign policy, allowing Soviet-funded political parties, and censorship of anti-Soviet press. They were 'good relations' for the Soviets - not so much for the Finns.
