This really has to stop… the #Finns dominating every top-10 list. Best 🧑🏽‍🎓education, best 🏥 healthcare, best ⚽️ Jari Litmanen, highest standard of living 🌱….fine.

But then casually, almost lazily, forcing U.S. military leadership to step in during a #NATO exercise and tell the Finnish troops to take it down a notch? That’s next-level psychological warfare.

Well played, #Suomi …Well played…

Is Greenland really in danger of being overrun by Russia and China?

The US claims seizing the territory is vital for security but analysts say divisions with allies would make it less safe — and there is no immediate threat

Well, when you choose the best fighters as red-team, the goal is to learn bitter truths.

If you can't do that, because your ego is hurt, you failed the whole point of the exercise.

@wlaatje ...and its not even active duty troops, they were reservists on refresher course. Those people have day jobs. 🫣
