The svensons finally offer military aid? Either that dildo looking country finally grew a pair or they think they are being clever and funny, cheeky bastards.

Well, there's a catch that I forgot to tell. In return, Sweden expects that the countries they offer their aid to, will do the same in case Sweden comes under attack.

Who in their right mind would ever go to Sweden, let alone invade it?

I often wonder if the United States would benefit from a compulsory military service obligation (2 years)?

I certainly had fun, but here the compulsion is only 8-11 months and you only recive training, to go on a toru abroad you have to sign on as a contracted soldier.

Oh I can think of alot of reason to go here, and also many good reasons not to attack.

Let it be known, that while we stay out of trouble, we will bite back if trouble get to us. That is basically the thought of our military defense.

And we've stayed out of war (on our soil) for about 200 years. Some see that as a sign of weakness, I rather see it as a sign of intelligence.

Reason no. 1: Plenty of immigrant Finns live there.

Personally I don't have a problem with Swedish people, or at least all of them. However, I do have a problem with the Swedish National Party which is a party in the Finnish parliament. Yes, you foreigners, Finnish-Swedes have their very own political party with members in the Finnish parliament, a minister in the present government and even a MEP.

This party forces all Finns to learn to speak Swedish in the school when they are young. Even in the university there is a forced Swedish course which one has to pass in order to graduate from there. The dialect of Swedish that is spoken in Finland isn't even that close to proper Swedish which is spoken in mainland Sweden but still this minority has a special status in Finland.

Finnish-Swedish people also have their own universities in Finland (!) where everything is tought in Swedish and it is easier for Finnish-Swedes to get into those. Finnish-Swedish families also have a lot of inherited property in Finland which dates back to the times when Finland was a colony of Sweden.

Åland is the island roughly between Finland and Sweden (closer to Finland though) which has a Swedish speaking majority. They have no obligations to give service in Finnish although Finns live on that island too and the island is a part of Finland. Åland has a special status though giving them tax exemptions and also men from Åland don't have to go to the Finnish military.

When there is talk about making the position of Finnish-Swedes any worse Sweden also comments on the issue in favour of the Finnish-Swedes. So I can't say I like the Finnish-Swedes or Swedes too much I'm afraid.

My reality is the finns are reasonable and have straightforward and this are sometimes rare.
