Interview + personal message from the president of Finland
Valnad
Q: Rumors has it that you declared war because of the situation in Norway. Is that true? If so, how do you respond to the Swedes putting Finland as NE instead of Russia? Would you have went to war even if Sweden had released all of the Norwegian regions?
A: We are in war with Sweden to help Norway get out of their PTOers. This is followup to the plan that failed earlier with Norway and Denmark. Your leaders were told we are going after the Norwegian areas, so we are suprised that you NE us. (Note by Valna
😛check out Flitwick's and Lonestar's previous articles for the original plan)
Q: Many Finns seem eager to fight Sweden - will this war mark the end of a 3 year long NAP, or do you think that our countries might be on friendly terms with one another again in the future?
A: I am sure we can be in friendly terms in the Future, I just fear it is not possible with your current leaders who are more interested about talking big than actually co-operate.
Q: New political movements are on the horizon in Sweden, with the objective to improve our relations to our neighbors in Scandinavia. If there would be peace between Sweden, Denmark and Norway in the future, how would Finland react?
A: I am sure that in the future we can have a peace and harmony again. However, it will take sometime to have again the trust we had, and which your current leaders so easily just threw away.
Q: Last, but not least: is there something you would like to tell the Swedish readers?
A: I was actually thinking about asking snaskebladet to publish my message to your people, but I can aswell give it to you. I will send it in next message.
And so, here it is, the words of Finland's president to the people of eSweden:
People of Sweden,
It is a sad day that our peaceloving nations are fighting against each other. For so long we have benefited from the peace and stability in North. Due to behavior of your leaders we had no other possibility than out Sweden as our Natural Enemy. Let me explain what lead to this.
Our Brothers in Norway contacted us several weeks ago and asked if we could conquer their land as they were under Political Take over, by Serbian goons. The PTO was made possible by your leaders who tricked the Norwegians to trust those people. I never thought there is anything lower than PTOers, but now I know there is.
At the same time Denmark was having similar problems, so there was need for a plan. In this plan Finland was to take Norway and then release areas Sweden so dearly needs. Your leaders agreed and then right away ate their word and laughed about it. As you can so clearly see in your MoD article (article by Lonestar), rather than helping Nordic neighbours they spit on their face, by having plan where PTO regime could easily live behind protection of Swedish borders.
What choice did we have in Finland? We decided it was time to end war with Estonia and forget the bonus we get from there in order to help our brothers in Norway and Denmark. Your leaders knew we are coming, they just chose not to believe it, trusting that we fear your military might. But even in the risk of losing our own country, we cannot leave our friends, we have to at least try.
So, people of Sweden. We are not your enemy, it is your leaders. Rather than focusing on protecting your own country against Russian invasion they decide to NE us, who are in Norway. They rather give the entire country away than let their Serbian friends lose the benefits of PTO of Norway.

Very good article. It's nice to see the truth for once.

Voted, röstat och onanerat
Petsku: < 3
It made me even more sad to see Mr_W in the list of comments. He just vanished one day, but he will always be remembered and never forgotten. Ironically, he was from Finland IRL but played in Sweden.
These are strange times indeed. But I think many Swedes will be surprised by the answers our neighboring President gave to these questions. I, for one, will refurbish my diplomatic trailer and head for the Scandinavian roads again.
MC and Flitwick, you better bring out the beer, because we're all going to Skaues cabin by the fjord!
... and in case he doesn't have one, we can always crash at Grev Pers place in Køpenhavn.
beekaks saves the day, we Norwegians thank him and the Finnish people for standing up for their neighbours, friends and allies.
And to Valnad, great article, Vote and already subscribed
And please valnad, head out there, we need a trustworty swede in scandinavia
Sulla on hyvä perse!
This is already awesome. Way to bring some new flavour to eFinns and eSwedes!
From my personal point of view, it was a bad mistake to put Finland as our NE. I'm not sure how HKV reasoned there or why no one questioned it in the congress thread, but I percieve Russia as our biggest threat.
Finland is mainly looking for a way to liberate Norway. If they fight against our cores, they will not do so immediately, and losing our Norwegians regions isn't really a big deal. I don't think we should have them anyway (we need oil, but that can be gained through diplomatic negotiations).
Russia, however, did not come here to save anyone. They came here for the lulz. They don't stand anything to gain from attacking our regions, as they already have our raw materials, but they've never turned down the chance of grouping up against us. One on one, we would beat them, and they know it. Maybe not in the cold east, but at home in our cores, we have enough support to make a stand.
I will fight side by side with Lidskjalf and the others to defend us from the Oligarchs', and I wish Finland good luck in their endevours against the PTO:ers.
det känns som att vi har gett oss på något väldigt dåligt, hoppas verkligen att vi hittar något samarbete snarast.
I wanted Russia or Romania as NE but my suggestion was voted down, anyway regarding my articles, if you read it you can noticed that we make a plan to help Denmark from their PTO by wiping their nation with help from Norway. Regarding the PTO, we were a few people in the Swedish Military Command that didn't want to support it, however none of us were the President, I assume you know what I mean, I have already apologized for that even tho I never wanted it in the first place...
Lonestar. To be quite honest! It looks pretty bad when your trying to help Mr Parson in one article and then hang him out in your comments.
If you read my article (that I assume you are referring to in your comment) you can read that I never supported many of the actions that Jim made, however I defended him since he made many good decisions as well. Nobody is perfect and Jim as well as the rest of us made a few mistakes, I think that no President at all have been "Perfect", well expect St00r.
Valnad, you are wrong.
Russia did not attack Sweden for the lulz (well, not only that at least).
Now i understand!
Down with the clown Jim Parsons!
Thank you, beekaks! And the beer is ready, Valnad... you're always welcome 😁
Sadly, I have to wonder if the willingness to co-operate was this apparent if Russia didn't trample Swedish soil right now. If the situation wasn't like it is now with changes in alliance strengths, I have a bad feeling the first Finnish-Swedish war ever would have been welcomed by Sweden.
Those who know me might still remember me as a staunch supporter of Scandinavian co-operation but seeing the things happening in Norwegian congress makes me want to exact justice.
@Lonestar: Well I read your article and I noticed the parts that your referring to and as you correctly point out there are parts that you say you don't agree with.
I've also read these arguments before. My problem with the issue is that if you don't agree you do something about it!
You have been part of a team, where you as a groupe have come to a decision and carried it out. Then you turn around when the heat comes on and say "well it wasn't me! It was the other guys" And I guess that's what kind of ticked me of a bit.
If you're part of a groupe then you're loyal to the decision OR you leave the group. You, however decided to stay despite the fact:" It was not you!" and now you're running around trying to convince everybody about that.
To me that's just not the way you do things and I hope this explains my point a little bit more.
Scadens:
My honest reply would be: no, it probably wouldn't have been as much fuss about the current situation if Russia wasn't part of the play. But go ahead and ask around and you'll hear that I am not a new and suddenly enthusiatic supporter of diplomacy within Scandinavia.
What has happened lately is that those who oppose the current strategy in Sweden - to frown upon all diplomacy, shut down the MoFA, etc - have gained some much needed momentum. It is not easy to try and run (or change. or both) a country where there's a very big and very silent majority who does nothing but support a name, just because that name belongs to the party with most members.
Scadens, it will take a long, long time for us to rebuild Sweden's reputation. Maybe we'll never succeed. There were forces who wanted us to suffer even before these PTO events and they have also gained momentum now. Unfortunately, that is how things go in the eWorld.
But talk can take you much further than guns. Some consider it a coward's strategy, but fortunately, there are FPS games out there for them to play instead.
This proves that Sweden needs a new government.
Away with each people today that directly relate to this situation sweden is in.
Above all, Lonestar, which I and many other have lost total confidence in.
Impeach Churchill!
Spräng regeringen!
All we can do is change.
I hope Jim understand that the best for eSweden is Nationalgardet.
Vote. Snygg artikel...
The speech should had started " Kansalaiset, medbörjare" : D
Valnad to save Sweden? Again?!
