Dude, do you know the word "Finlandization?" After WW2, Finland recognized that it was untenable to take a hostile position against USSR, and aligned their position with USSR for the entire Cold War. Soviet orders basically propped up the entire Finnish economy, which turned it into a wealthy nation as it is today.
Not really.
As a democracy Finland aligned its economy very much with the West, primarily the other European market economies.
Finland's export to the Soviet Union was on average only around 15% of its yearly total during the entire Cold War.
As the only market economy with normal bilaterally trade with the Soviet Union Finland did benefit somewhat economically but nothing as extreme as stated above.
It was a whole other story politically. Neutrality in the strictest sense of the word. Both externally and internally, never taking any position to openly offend the Soviet Union the slightest. Basically behaving politely in every way.
No doubt such a solution might be Putin's wet dream for Ukraine but I can't see the last part happening. Neither before or now.

What does this same, “Christian” priest say about Drumpf, who, also, had no political experience?
These so called Christians do not know the Bible:

Mark 10:

Accounted to rule...Who is really in charge?

Other translations use "abuse their power" and "rape" or "violent", instead of exercise authority. So maybe it be Zelensky, Putin, Biden or all the others. They are to some extent all the same. It is a question about having light or not to see that. Nationalism - I love my country stuff - is never a Christian attitude. You should love your neighbour and all people, the indivdual.

Christians must pray for those who are in charge. But are not forced to obey the laws, if the are contrary to the Word of God. Prayer changes never God, but the one who prays.

Back to topic know.
