Interesting fact, but there are 2 Jeffrey Epstein's with connections to Finland, one is globally more well known Peter Nygård and the other is lesser known Veijo Baltzar.
Baltzar was known to have close ties with various politicians, including former Finnish Prime Minister Paavo Lipponen, and wielded significant influence in cultural and social spheres. In 2019, Baltzar became the center of a major scandal in Finland when allegations surfaced that he had exploited young women, many of whom were vulnerable, on his property. Reports suggested that these women, often young underage girls, were kept in conditions resembling slavery or servitude, subjected to manipulation, control, and abuse under the guise of mentorship or artistic projects. He was detained for suspicion of human trafficking.
Peter Nygård, a Finnish-Canadian fashion mogul, has been compared to Jeffrey Epstein due to the nature of the allegations against him, particularly those involving his private estate, Nygård Cay, in the Bahamas where he hosted sex parties for rich & powerful men and prostituted young girls.
The USA should refuse to help Finland when Finland next time activates article 5. Maybe the USA should refuse to deliver the F35 fighter jets it was supposed to deliver next year to Finland as a response for Finland being asshole and not helping the USA. Finland has never done anything for the USA but is leeching on backs of the hard working Americans.
Biden made mistake letting Finland join. Finland only made NATO more vulnerable and weaker because Finland added absolutely no military capabilities to NATO but doubled the length of NATO-Russia border.
For Putin adding Finland was fine for this exact reason, Putin is a genius chess player so he instantly saw checkmate move in his eyes when Finland applied to join NATO.
Simo Häyhä is the original ghost of Kiev, there is literally no evidence he ever killed 500+ Soviet soldiers other than his own personal diary. Russian researcher tried to find evidence of him using Russian archives that were opened in 1990s after Soviet collapse and he couldn't find anything.
Honestly the Americans seem the happiest people I have ever seen. Nowhere else have I seen people smile so much. Even the customer service people smile at you which is totally unbelievable when compared to Finnish customer service people who are cold and don't smile.
Finns every year criticize this ranking calling it a sham.
