The Finns don't F-around with their defense. It's army and air force are small, but deadly, as proven when they kicked some Soviet ass during the Winter War of 1939, and held them at bay during the subsequent War of Continuation. Stalin thought his army would be in Helsinki in two weeks, but he underestimated the opposition.

In this video, a Finnish (American built) F/A-18 Hornet takes off from a narrow roadway with obstacles on the left, right, and in front of the jet. It then makes a downwind approach for a downhill-sloped landing, but does not touch down. Some good-stick flying there......

Like the Swedes, the Finns plan on basing their limited fighter assets spread out along highways during a conflict so they cannot be bombed-out with just a few strikes. The South Koreans also have a few highways that are built as genuine runways along certain portions (I have seen some of those).

Russia is not going to be able to compete with NATO. It is suicide to become an aggressor in Europe. Those Balkan states are going to be tough beyond belief withing the framework of Nato. Putin legitimately has worries about Ukraine becoming part of Nato.....if they do.....game over for any conventional warfare in Europe. The people of Russia are shortly going to have enough of the corrupt Putin regime.

He has had man crushes on Steve McQueen and Putin......nothing wrong with getting warm and cuddly with somebody you are attracted to, but sometimes you have to look at what they stand for beyond the physical attraction and hombre thing.

My hero and person I am most attracted to is Abe Lincoln. Since I have been a kid I admired everything about President Lincoln......I definitely had a man crush on President Lincoln and make no bones about it.....but it is what he stood for and his intellect which made him so attractive to me.

Nope......Stalin is held in disdain, like Putin.

Not true many ignorant Russians still love Stalin.....like many love Lincoln....here.

A survey from late 2006 found that 47 per cent of Russians viewed Stalin as a positive figure, and only 29 per cent as a negative one.

Historians generally agree that Lincoln suffered from clinical depression, part of a lifelong struggle with mental health issues. He twice suffered nervous breakdowns as a young man, and friends worried he would commit suicide. "Melancholy dripped from him as he walked," said William Herndon, Lincoln's law partner. In Washington, he wept in public so frequently that Clinton calls him "our first crybaby president."

Genius can certainly be sad at times.

An American airplane performing well.  I, for one am impressed.

Norway is a far more likely target of Russia.
