"Something's fishy in Finland and they're smellin' what I'm cookin'" ___ Rudolph Hitler
Methinks subs to be the rub.
WW II history:
"In the negotiations, the main Soviet demand was that the Finns cede small parcels of territory, including a naval base on the Gulf of Finland that the Soviets wanted to help them protect Leningrad.
In exchange, the Soviets offered to cede to Finland about 8,800 square kilometers of Karelia along the Finnish border, or about twice the amount of land to be ceded by Finland.
Unlike the previous negotiations, these talks were conducted in the public eye, and the Finnish people, like the government, were almost unanimous in rejecting the Soviet proposals.
The ostensible reasons for Finland’s refusal were to protect its neutral status and to preserve its territorial integrity. In addition, moving the Finnish border on the Karelian Isthmus away from Leningrad would have given the Soviets possession of much of the line of Finnish fortifications, the loss of which would have weakened Finland’s defenses.
Underlying the hardline Finnish negotiating position was a basic mistrust of the Soviets and a feeling that the Soviet offer was merely a first step in subjugating Finland.
In this suspicion of an ulterior motive, the Finns were matched by the Soviets, who believed that Finland would willingly assist Germany in a future war."
" In September, Finish law enforcement and military personnel conducted simultaneous raids on 17 properties in the Western part of the country “linked to Russia” through the “mysterious” Russian businessman Pavel Melnikov and his associates, the New York Times reports.
The raids included an assault on the island of Sakkiluoto involving heavily-armed police and at least 100 members of Finland’s Keskusrikospoliisi (KRP), the country's equivalent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation."

Propaganda is rampant.

It's just their 5G towers mucking up everything.
I'm sure they know, but Russia is convenient.
Wouldn't surprise me if we all turn on the 5g towers and watch the mayhem ensue, then blame Russia and call it a precursor to the cyber pandemic.
