Any Finns care to comment on this?

As far as I know, Finland is a democracy with a high standard of living,
and a leading trading partner of the Soviet Union.  Sure, they struck
a deal with the Russians under duress.  But it stuck, and it works.

Contrast with Canada (some say we are a _middle power_ ).
There are no Soviet troops in Finland.   There are foreign troops all over
Canada (both as part of NORAD, and NATO), and we sent our troops to the
Gulf BEFORE the UN resolution, practically saluting the US generals.

Which looks more like a satellite ?
