@redko79 You gratitude is misplaced. China uniting with Russia is a gross exaggeration. China may harbour geopolitical sympathies for Russia, as in chipping away at Western hegemony, but economically China is much more united with the West. Benefiting from Russia's failed energy war is a nice bonus, but on no account will China knowingly jeopardise its lucrative exports to the West -- which are already under strain from de-risking -- to help out Russia. In other words, China won't risk transhipping Western products and leaking Western intellectual property to Russia for fear of its companies -- or even China as a whole -- becoming a target for Western sanctions. After all, Russia's economy is diminuitive compared that of the West, and Chinese economists know full well that Russia is heading for bankruptcy if it keeps making war instead of peace.

@SteamboatW You can count the 1918 Invasion of Åland as another unfortunate war. The Swedish invaders suffered one casualty, due to suicide. To add insult to injury, Sweden failed to annex the Åland Islands, much to the chagrin of present-day Finns.

Grandstanding is not a typical Finnish trait. In fact, the reverse is true. We don't walk the talk, we just walk. Are you even Finnish?

@Henrik976 The F-16 needs a squeaky clean runway. The Gripen isn't impervious to FOD either, but it's far from the Hoover (Nilfisk for you) that the F-16 is with its underslung air intake. The F-16 can literally suck crumbling tarmac off the roads.

'Moose' is a North-American misnomer. The very same animal is correctly called the elk in Eurasia.
