MODERATORS
Finland is prepared to redo our glorious history once more with a fascist ally by our side yet again.
lmao we're so fucked
Yeah I'm getting serious tiny poodle vibes. Going "let me at em bro I swear to god bro I'll fuck em up bro you're lucky i'm on this leash aaaabark bark bark barkbarkabrkbark" at a pack of swole bears or something. We have like 40 soliders and maybe an old tractor somewhere. It's a god damn suicide cult.
Not to disagree with you, but doesn't Finland have conscription? I was surprised that a country with no active conflicts does that.
Yep. The red-scare brainworms are deeply rooted here, every boy has to go to the military to prepare for the inevitable day the russians come. It hasn't really been taken very seriously for as long as I've lived, at least. Until now, I guess. A funny little cultural rite of passage meme where 18-year-olds get to fuck around with their bros in the woods for half a year. But tbh I never went myself, so I don't really know what you actually learn there.
"40 soldiers and an old tractor" is what I assume is the portion of the conscripts who are actually ready and willing to fight, and didn't just go there because they were expected to.
Yes, hello, this was me years ago.
From my very personal experience I'd say there are some who get some actual training and learn all kinds of things like how to hunt and eat a reindeer etc, but my placement was in the artillery and like 95% of everyone there was going to jump straight to Sweden if shit actually hit the fan, and that was the fucking artillery, like if someone is close enough to do damage there we're royally screwed anyway
But you’re the happiest country in the world!
not with this suicide rate we aint
Every time there’s a happiness index Finland is always number 1, do they just not take that into account 😭
