    Finnish media (can't find a source in English, soz) claim a correlation with Stubbs visit and Trupms aggressive posturing to Putin

    Stubb has through out his entire precidency been very pro Ukraine and being an experienced diplomat he should be very familiar with realpolitik and handling populists.

        I just played a round of Golf with Alexander Stubb, President of Finland. He is a very good player, and we won the Men’s Member-Guest Golf Tournament at Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach County, with the Legendary Gary Player, Senator Lindsey Graham, and former Congressman and highly successful Television Host, Trey Gowdy.

        “President Stubb and I look forward to strengthening the partnership between the United States and Finland, and that includes the purchase and development of a large number of badly needed Icebreakers for the U.S., delivering Peace and International Security for our Countries, and the World.

        “President Stubb told me, in the most powerful of words, that the United States is STRONG, and BACK, AGAIN. I AGREE!” Trump wrote.

        I’m ok if this is the only type of news we get from this administration from here on out. Let my taxes pay for golf so long as these people are not doing anything else.

            I've been telling people Finland isn't the fucking perfect place people think it is.

            We're honestly alarmingly authoritarian and most finns have issues questioning authority.

The second and third I knew as Teens, both went to Finland to serve in the military to keep their citizenship. One came back a neo Nazi tattoos and all, the other alt right. They didn't go together

              Befriending a dictator, sucking his tiny dick, that never ended badly for anyone, ever. Such a rational decision.

                Finland is pretty fking racist.

                Using the n-word won't get you into trouble as easily as calling someone out for using it. Has been my experience, at least.

                Once an old lady I was driving home from the shops (as a taxi driver) genuinely got furious at me for just refusing to use the word (she was complaining about immigrant taxi drivers). I didn't even criticise her use directly, I just said I won't use such language because I think it's racist and dehumanising and she got mad and started yelling how "you call them what they are!". Her husband was with her. Just stayed silent.

                So whole economically were pretty lefties especially compared to the US, politically less so.

                I would love to move and live somewhere else for a few years but can't afford it rn.

                  If I felt it was the best way to save my country from destruction, yes I would. I wouldn't let him act against the best interests of my country, but I would kiss his ass if I thought it would help. From everything I've seen, Stubb is staunchly against Russia's imperialist ambitions, so unless he's really just blowing hot air about that, I doubt he will just go along with Trump's current plans for Europe.

                  If Stubb wasn't going along with Trump's plans he would be opposing him strongly instead of golfing and smiling with him. At the moment he comes off as a weakling with no spine, but that's to be expected when his party works with the far right already.

                  Unlike in WW2 when USSR attacked Finland is in an alliance, now. How do you think their allies see Stubb's actions after Trump has again and again threatened to attack them? All this ass kissing just to keep some ice breaker deal alive?

                  You never negotiate with fascists, there's literally no point in that unless you're ready to lick their boot.

                    More like knows how to protect his own investments at the cost of the nation he supposedly leads. His party works with the Finnish far-right, it's no surprise he'd go across the ocean to suck one more fascist dick

                      He won that tournament in the same way Putin “wins” an election.
