Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer?

  I also want that, but only for the future generations to know that “we were Finnished”

  The last time Finland invaded a nation, they did it together with the Nazis. I don’t think you want Finland to rule the world.

    It was either surrender to Soviet Union (legendary dicks) or ally with Nazis (had no reason to stay and conquer us). We picked the lesser evil.

      If “the lesser evil” to you are nazis, you’re a nazi

        If the lesser evil would’ve been Soviet Union, we would’ve been a) communists and b) not independent anymore.

    Okay but in a hypothetical scenario where Finland ruled the world (as it exists today), I highly, highly doubt they would be siding with fascists. I don’t see your point. Thanks for leading me to some Wikipedia articles to read though.

      Finland currently doesn’t recognise Palestine as a country, they’re currently, as it exists today, siding with the genocidal maniacs in the Israeli government.

        That is unfortunate. However, I don’t see why you’re so insistent. You appear to be taking my original comment more seriously than I did. Sorry I didn’t do research on Finland’s position on Palestine or of their involvement in World War II. It was not relevant at the time. I just happen to appreciate Finnish art and culture.

    But they had the guts to change sides mid-war.
