The Minister of Defence, Jyrki Häkämies said that Obama's election might put the views of the people to more pro-NATO.

Congrats, Suomi! Yes, I'm glad that you're not still just another part of Russia, you'd probably be just as dour and useless as the Russkis if you were (if any Russians are listening, I'm kidding, I'm kidding...)

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Pony trekking or camping,
Or just watching TV.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
It's the country for me.

You're so near to Russia,
So far from Japan,
Quite a long way from Cairo,
Lots of miles from Vietnam.

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner,
Or snack lunch in the hall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.


You're so sadly neglected
And often ignored,
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.

Excellent timing on your revolution, Finns. Well done, and cheers to you!

I <3 Finland.

I think Finland invented (or popularized it use, I can't remember) the molotov cocktail as well. That is something to be proud of.

I do, you guys make good metal.

Especially black metal. Finnish black metal is made of sex and win.

I do. One of my best mates is Finnish. Oh, and Sibelius is the shit.

We invented the word ''Molotov Cocktail.

I thought Molotov, the Russian general, did?
He's right, according to wikipedia...
The Molotov cocktail, also known as the petrol bomb, gasoline bomb,or Molotov bomb, is a generic name used for a variety of improvised incendiary weapons. Simple to make, they are frequently used by rioters.

The bombs were derisively named after Soviet Union Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov by the Finns during the Winter War.

Ah, Finland, home of Jumalhämärä, Koskenkorva, the Avatar of Sisu (http://badassoftheweek.com/hayha.html)...

Yeah, many Finnish hockey players play in NHL. And, that kinda messes up the the roster for Team Finland.

That's right, the best sniper ever comes from Finland. And I won't comment on that god-awful abomination that is called a song.

Since Linus is a Finn, I care about Finland.

I myself am still looking for the Molotov Breadbaskets the Finns were promised.

I just remembered Teemu Selänne, Vesa Toskala and Mikka Kiprusoff are also Finnish. How does that mess up the roster of the Finnish national team? They don't play in the Olympics?

Not, if they are busy in the NHL. In fact Selänne quit the national team for awhile to focus on playing in the NHL. Rumors say that he's offered to play in the national team next year.
