The #Finns built the #Agricola house in 1902 in #Viipuri / #Vyborg and a #Ukrainian #drone hit it instead of the #fsb office on the other side of the street. The house took limited damage, sadly #russians just leaves the hole as it is in the rainy weather. It's heart breaking to see how little care has been given the buildings in this once beautiful city of #Finland

This really has to stop… the #Finns dominating every top-10 list. Best 🧑🏽‍🎓education, best 🏥 healthcare, best ⚽️ Jari Litmanen, highest standard of living 🌱….fine.

But then casually, almost lazily, forcing U.S. military leadership to step in during a #NATO exercise and tell the Finnish troops to take it down a notch? That’s next-level psychological warfare.

Well played, #Suomi …Well played…

I can relate. I am somewhat familiar with: #Sisu "a #Finnish word variously translated as #stoic determination, #tenacity of purpose, #grit, bravery, #resilience, and #hardiness. It is held by #Finns to express their national character." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu

‘The Finns have something they call sisu. It is a compound of bravado and bravery, of ferocity and tenacity, of the ability to keep fighting after most people would have quit, and to fight with the will to win.’

The New York Times, 14th January 1940
