Hey! I didnt know one of our respected moderators was from Finland
Im an African man living in Finland, but my real name isnt "Jones Henry"(I made it up
) Anyway, it's nice to have such an international croud. I personally have very neutral feelings about China. Finish people have been told to hate Russians for hundrets of years, so thats is why they are still a litle "Russofobic" and after WW2 became(in secret)extremely pro american Well anyway, i acually like both China and the US, because both can do plenty of good for Africa. I dont necessarily see the other as evil, while the other as "good" The Soviets for instance did a lot of terrible things to Eastern-Europe and Finland too, while economically helping for instance poor African countries. And without nazi german help Finland could still be a part of Russia. These things are
WERY complicated so i am not here to judge, but i still hope and pray for international peace
I know, that the Finish people also have similar feelings about both China and the US. Also Russians and Finish are trying to warm up there relations, but it is still hard Finish, give the Russians a change;it was Stalin who ruend Communism and did all those bad things, but one can ofcourse ask, did he have a choise? After all he lived in the time of great depression, starvation and dictators like Hitler practicly in hes nextdoor, and he had no choise expect to stop Hitlet from trying to take over Russia(If Hitler had succeeded, he whould have had all the slavs killed, since they were to him an "inferior" race) Still it does not justify the winter war of 1939. I suppose none of us are without sin. But anyway, USA is the only nation anymore capable of imperialism, wich is why i really dont like them that much anymore
I almost hope, that someting bad happens to them(new depression)so they couldnt do stuff like this anymore:
Ayway, it's really depressing
How could for instanche Finland promote peace between China and USA?
