I guess my question is who gave the Americans the right? I say this as an American. But would not the world be a better place if we just minded our own business and quit nation building and stoking non existant fires?

I want Finland to rule the world.

    The last time Finland invaded a nation, they did it together with the Nazis. I don't think you want Finland to rule the world.

    Okay but in a hypothetical scenario where Finland ruled the world (as it exists today), I highly, highly doubt they would be siding with fascists. I don't see your point. Thanks for leading me to some Wikipedia articles to read though.

    Finland currently doesn't recognise Palestine as a country, they're currently, as it exists today, siding with the genocidal maniacs in the Israeli government.

    That is unfortunate. However, I don't see why you're so insistent. You appear to be taking my original comment more seriously than I did. Sorry I didn't do research on Finland's position on Palestine or of their involvement in World War II. It was not relevant at the time. I just happen to appreciate Finnish art and culture.

    Edit: Sadly, my country doesn't recognize Palestine either. There isn't a whole hell of a lot anyone here (excluding our corrupt leaders obviously) can do about it.

    It was either surrender to Soviet Union (legendary dicks) or ally with Nazis (had no reason to stay and conquer us). We picked the lesser evil.

    If "the lesser evil" to you are nazis, you're a nazi

    If the lesser evil would’ve been Soviet Union, we would’ve been a) communists and b) not independent anymore.

    You famously lost the war, and you're still an independent nation. Finland obtained independence in 1917 because of the communists, namely the Bolshevik constitution, allowing for the first time in human history the right of self-determination and secession. If it hadn't been for the communist you'd be a province of Russia.
