a) Well actually there was no threat, just frustration about all the
whining.

I never said there was an explicit threat, I stated that it was
implicit. None of you ever stick up us for us so stop complaining when
we stick up for ourselves.

Who is 'you' in this? Europeans? Finns?
To my knowledge Europeans took part in Gulf War I, operations in former
Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and probably quite a few others.
Many European nations chose not to take part in current operation in Iraq.
But quite a few did take part in it.
So what do you actually mean with those 'none of you' and 'ever'.

b) Great, Finland has done nothing for USA and USA has done nothing for
Finland.

The US has done a great deal for Finland. If the US didn't land at
Normandy and attack Germany the Red Army would have kept going past
Berlin and gone on to the ocean. All of Europe, including Finland would
have been lost.

Well you were the ones arming and feeding the commies...

Again that threat thing, you really see threats everywhere? Isn't that
somewhat paranoid?

I stated that implicit threats made by Europeans are empty. Then you
claim that I am paranoid. I don't think you know what paranoid means.

So what would you call a person who sees threats everywhere?

Well, this is just another example of thinking that US has saved every
other
country's ass on this planet... which I think is a bit overreacted.

BTW, Finnish air force is flying US made hornets.

Yeah, they are. Does anyone have specs for Finnish F-18's? I'd like to know
if Finns changed anything from the basic C/D outfit.
And btw. does anyone have any idea if Finnish Hawk trainers are going to be
replaced and if so with what and when?

Well, this is just another example of thinking that US has saved every other

Actually, not a bad statement of world history since 1941.

Saddam might not agree, nor Osama nor Kim, but there are spoilsports
in every playground.

Yes, it's OK for a statement but has no real value considering history.

While my original post was about "Findland and all of europe", let me add that
US is responsible for the mess when it ****s up with his playmates like Osama or
Saddam... but you seem to consider this as yet another world saving act.
