@ChuckHuffmaster The US didn't do a thing for Finland, though. Not before, during or after WW2.

@ChuckHuffmaster Very indirectly. Finland just didn't feature in US strategy in any meaningful manner. Finland was an afterthought for Germany, too.

We had you at WEF. By the way, what happened to the NWO and it blood-drinking and shape-shifting Reptilians that featured so heavily in your earlier conspiracy theories? Have you abandoned them altogether? Such a shame -- that was amusing.

@petrholpuch7545 Don't you worry too much about Trump's grandstanding. Truth be told, the US doesn't reach NATO's 2% of GDP target either. Its extracurricular activities, which take place outside of NATO's strictly-defined area of responsibility, don't come free. It follows from US military doctrine that more than half of US military spending serves purposes other than NATO.

@ChuckHuffmaster That's a fanciful interpretation. Germany had sided with the USSR during the Winter War, but Hitler had a change of heart when Germany started preparing for Operation Barbarossa. Finland was offered arms and grain, both of which it needed desperately, especially the latter since it had lost its breadbasket in Karelia. Hitler never had clear plans for Finland, apart from making vague promises about rewarding Finland with large swathes of Russia should it participate in his crusade against Communism. Finland didn't fall for it and held back after recapturing its lost territories and occupying defensible positions. Interestingly, Germany fared relatively poorly at attacking the USSR from the very north of Scandinavia, so Finland's unwillingness to advance further didn't become an issue. It wasn't lost on the USA, which actively maintained diplomatic relations with Finland throughout WW2.

@bdleo300 I truly wonder if you're really European, but what I can tell is that you have a poor understanding of the EU's relationship vis-à-vis the US. Trump is busily gearing up for a trade war with the EU. Why on earth would one start a trade war with one's own colony? The EU is not Europe, by the way. Europe extends all the way to the Ural Mountains, deep inside Russia.
