Is it a tense situation in Finland??

I mean there is always a possibility of aggression.

And bitter memories of the Winter War.

As far as i know Finns didn't get any help from Norway/Sweden or other European countries.

BTW i'd like to ask a question about the Winter War as well.

Checking on casualties of both sides.

Did Finns do a superb job of defense or just got lucky??

Very few losses with limited capabilities

Not being Finish I really don't know how they feel about Russia.

But I think Mannerheim and the Finns plain outfought the Russians. Perhaps purging all of your top military leadership isn't a good idea.

Are you silly or just kidding? Geopolitically, there are no chances of aggression, because Finland (unlike Ukraine) is not in potential sphere of the russian influence.

That's "vsjo nashe bljat" - that's number one,
and number two - don't forget that Finns were considered the "second sort of Europeans" for quite some time, that's why no one from the "first sort of Europeans" was in a rush to save them.
The people of "dubious origin" are usually left up to Russia to deal with, since Russians themselves are of "dubious origin" according to some, lol)))

Finland was under the rule of the Russian Tsar from 1809-1917. I think they have plenty reason to be wary.
