The current Ukraine crisis...

[LeiwoUnion]

Those residing here where I live, known as the Finnish people, have very narrow space to manouver at this time. The Finnish have known since time immemorial that 'the threat always comes from the east'. It is an inherent part of their body/mind complex and societal complex at this time, and is akin to a fact of nature such as that one should not go trecking on the ice of the lakes when spring is far, even if it looks fine. Why aren't we in NATO already then? There is much wisdom and acceptance of circumstances among the Finnish. Many hold zero delusion about the fact that both sides of the NATO coin (and many others) are nearly equally poor choices. The Finnish have held individuality and free will on high regards, and they will turn fear into courage as a collective the instant their way of life seems threatened. These values are constantly attacked by the modern day powers to erode the integrity of this northern 'tribe'. Even though there is much emphasis on separation these days, the Finnish are not naturally xenophobic towards those capable of holding the same high standards of justice, integrity and non-infringement, and will accept those that do as brothers and sisters. I honestly think there is the potential for forming a true social memory complex present in the hearts of the people here. So much is done, however, to prevent this by any means necessary, such as offering dubious military alliances with shady merchants of death. After the winter war the Finnish did this and paid for it dearly later. There was of course a price tag for not doing it, too. Who knows what is best when none of the options is peaceful coexistence in harmony and understanding? Maybe now it could be?
