Fun little historical fact.

Inshort, at the start of the second world war, Russia and England declared war on Finland(well, we were on the German side there). Now, Fins did go against the Germans eventually, so the Russians and Fins signed a peace treaty and fought happily side by side. Ish.

The funny part? England and Finland never did.

So ...as of this moment, we are STILL at war with you English types-ah! :D

That was actually the winter war, but as it was so close to the world war, it's easily mixed up.

Kicked some butthocks in that war.

Aye, we never fought, so it's about bloody time. Hey, we got permission :D

Does Finland have access to nuclear weapons?

There are no weapons of mass destruction in Finland.

Finland can be assured that we wo'nt invade them.

After all,we only invade countries where it's hot and we can get a nice suntan.


Apart from the French ofc.

iirc the anglo-finnish war is notable for being the only instance of two democracies declaring war on each other.

There are some lost villages in the deepest of Spain which are still at war against the filthy frog invaders since early 19th century. Go figure...... :p

Who on earth would want to invade Finland anyway?

Although a war of mutual destruction could be good - go go!
