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.
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.

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.

Perfection is the enemy of progress

I mean, yeah, sure. But if perfection is two steps to the left and you refuse…why?

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

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.

You famously lost the war, and you’re still an independent nation. Finland obtained independence in 1917 because of the communists, namely the Bolshevik constitution, allowing for the first time in human history the right of self-determination and secession. If it hadn’t been for the communist you’d be a province of Russia.
