So melodic out cook him with the see that, that the fins have experienced the difficulty of fighting alone on me. Thats why we now think initially that nato is a good thing go. It took like the voice a lot, give us shianna mobile, finlands capital, helsinki. The border to russia is just 160 kilometers away. The threat posed by the countries neighbor looms large here.

But until recently, any discussion of an enter finlands neutrality was considered to boot over the last few decades, nato membership rarely had the support of more than 25 percent of the population. In the wake of russias invasion of Ukraine Support has risen to 79 percent after 80 years of military neutrality, its a radical change of position. Ill popular from the Reservists Association believes the move is long overdue. He points out that over the course of history, russia has repeatedly proved itself to be an aggressive power. Winter war began with the soviet invasion of finland in 1939. Russia was clearly militarily stronger than finland, but the fins knew their country like the back of the hand. And the challenges of its icy winters snipers in white camouflage were able to hold their own against the lumbering black clad russian attackers. Moscows troops were forced to retreat. So hale miss or finland wasnt ready for the winter war. Maam. Hi. Didnt want war. And it was difficult for us to mobilize. Our troops quickly odom is latanya, was down to lock that we were able to maintain our independence on eczema and bush to miss alcomite. However, soviet troops were victorious in the so called continuation wall fought from 1941 to 1944. The fighting claimed the lives of some 100000 fins. This chapter in history is seen as a National Trauma mel. Im of all his utley and ion olette and i have been russias neighbors for saint johns. Male and relations have always been bad. Ah, horn up valley white when the war ended, the official line was that we had good relations with the soviet union that, that valid side of an ion. In reality only there was never any trust there. A now let aiken outlet. Ah lot the 60 year old youll popo healer manages the charity association. He has a doctorate in economics and lives on a link near the town of u. N. So you, since the russian invasion of ukraine, the number of new reservists in his association has tripled from 30029000 National Defense has become a very real concern film mental got the mind, put them on the record that he feels and is my home and taylor home is where you were born in ap hanging. That did mean to breathe, finish air, sing along that you share finished values and finished culture in roswell, hall and go. Eli, who they bought jolla. Its been ties that exist from birth party. Good luck. As the majority of fins are ready to fight for their home, no matter what dilemma and of course lilith. I am too well. She said. Yeah, most mena really knew me is visiting a fellow pacifist miro pardon, though. He is not only refused to do military service, but also civilian service sigma. He believes that even civilian Service Helps prepare finland for war. Like when its an extreme position. Mito has just been sentenced to 6 months of house arrest for his total refusal. Hell have to wear an ankle monitor his detention begins in a few weeks time. A hollow protest i had a saw in protesting against the conscription lawsuit which discriminates against men who refused military service on religious or moral grounds. Sorta. Morality is important. All of us that under no circumstances do i want to participate in state killing pacifist in about an ottawa as i listed that by ms. Agatha about the i think i need that because i dont think about a guy that from the middle. I say that its good that there are people like miro, who dare to refuse military and civilian service, all the saloon bar at that not are going to the all settled there showing how to build a weapons free society laws that can how to fight against inequality. Somebody bought a nickel almost unheard of us, didnt. Itll, i really admire people like me roused on it. That i, the mazama still about will to local. Theres a high price to pay for total refusal york oscar say say on rico. So and inland or total refusal is a criminal offense, and you can go to prison that thought alec out there are only 30. 00 to 50. 00 people a year who do it.

Popular is in his element, reservists from the helsinki area are practicing their shooting skills. This time with life ammunition here protection is mandatory with we have a long history with russia and we dont have illusions about what has happened before and what can still happen today. So in finish society i would say the main change that ive seen is that people, reservists, and non reservists are more actively seeking these sort of opportunities to either keep up the skills, freshened them up or learn something new because the threat might be real. You never know, ah, a if, if it was not for fair, we had a different system. But i mean technically expertise if we could do it. But honestly, i dont think finland was on their lunch list. But as things are going now, things could escalate and we have to be ready. We just basically this is a turnkey in finland. So we are ready. We just have to mobilize it and thats where we are doing now. Reservists and pacifists completely disagree about finlands extension to native with blog. Ah, but can they at least see where one another coming from that the guy my own better a guy. Yes. Of course, i understand that someone might refuse to do military service and made up without a lima. Not every one is a soldier valuable. Ahmad, the law allows people to serve the country according to their respective abilities.
