Metaphorically pick a neighbor. Two guys come over and say, lets be buddies!

Uncle Sam: Giant muscle bound 7' tall dude who is loud, brags a lot, belches, farts loud a lot then laughs, lectures a lot, claps you on the back too hard while laughing at his own dumb jokes, gets into a lot of bar fights with his buddies but not against you.

Uncle Vlad: Just shot the guy two houses away.

Uncle Sam is like that guy that lifts his pickup truck to the sky and puts 53" tires on it, and drives it on the street!


So basically, a 'show off' trying to compensate for being less than in other areas. LOL

Headline should be changed to say "Majority in Finland now want the US to be on the hook for their defense."

Hey Finland!

not to worry, biden has your back!

he's busy right now watching a little kid rub the hair on his legs, but he should be okay when his meds kick in.

Where did you say Finland was? Biden needs to know.

Finland was invaded by Russia twice during WWII and embarrassed them both times. Because of the neutrality and fears of Russia that came from that they still have a real military. As a NATO member they would be a net positive for the alliance.

And actual conscription except Finns understand and take their training.

cant hurt that the road to the capital is long and full of dense forest on both sides. There would be a Finn with a Javelin behind every third tree.
