FINNS ARE WAKING UP TO THE MEDIA WARMONGERING! This was just posted by the former ceo of a major tabloid:
>Paasikivi and Kekkonen saved Finland's independence by creating a good foundation for building a welfare state in a difficult context.
>Kekkonen's great legacy was to understand Finland as a neighbour, not an enemy, to Russia. Russian concerns need to be understood, as understanding them are good for Finland's wellbeing.
>The legacy of Mauno Koivisto was to sign a neighbour treaty with Russia, following the fall of Soviet Union, and keep us in good relations.
>Halonen did nothing, which was good enough.
>Niinistö, however, has effectively destroyed our relations by creeping ever closer to NATO and "the West". Joining the EU has effectively limited our independence.
>The NATO-campaing by the Finnish media has been long and successful. The people have been cast into a state of hysteria and emotions, a nightmarish situation affecting politicians.
>Whatever happens now, one thing is for sure: We have destroyed our diplomatic and trade relations with Russia for decades.
>Even worse, Finnish media have destroyed our relations with Russians on an emotional level, by insulting Russians in very stupid and horrible ways.
>I will not see the day when we are free again due to my old age. An independent Finland was the greatest thing I knew in my life. Now it's over
