Sailor Steve is more then correct in ridiculing Finland's subservient position in relation to the other Scandinavian countries. Traditionally the other Scandinavian countries have been closer to US and also Nato then Finland is. Jehova's witnesses, members of a religion founded in the US, have been exempt from the Finnish military, as are the residents of Åland.
Swedes got the Jehova's witnesses out of the Finnish military service, they also got Ålanders out of the service. Not to mention Swedish espionage of Finland for the US. So there has always been a very close unity between Sweden and the US, against Finland.
