Two great tastes that taste great together.

Here's an excerpt from an interesting speech by Irving Kristol (the 'father' of neoconservatism):

Realists do not live just in America. I found one in Finland. During the 1997 negotiations in Oslo over the land mine treaty, one of the rare holdouts, interestingly enough, was Finland. The Finnish prime minister stoutly opposed the land mine ban. And for that he was scolded by his Scandinavian neighbors. To which he responded tartly that this was a “very convenient” pose for the “other Nordic countries”--after all, Finland is their land mine.

Eastern Finland is heavily mined, so that if the Russians try again what they did in 1939, they will pay a heavy price for the first few kilometers.

And here's a fun historical fact: the last attempt at relevance by the League of Nations was to expel the USSR for invading Finland in 1939. Stalin was unimpressed.
