Don’t ever try to argue with a Finn that a Russian person can be good, and that Putin is also their enemy: the Finn will shut down and stop talking to you - meaning, in their culture, that you can politely go removed yourself.

I cracked up reading this. It’s not like that these days. Some people are and it used to be worse but things have changed a bunch.

The Russian attack into Ukraine soured things again though. Not that that’s an excuse, rather it just happened following that.
