Can the tea-drinking Russians and coffee-drinking Finns get along?
These two Finns have numerical advantage over Russians
If you’re wondering which is which, the Finns are the ones wearing classic Nokia rubber boots (summer model).

I mean, sure, we can. As soon as <someone> stops constantly invading neighbouring countries.

Ah, the good old M62 uniform. I served in 2005 and we were some of the last conscripts to wear this fugly thing. They could be turned inside out to show the snow camo on the other side, but a lot of them were so faded that it didn’t do much of a difference.
Please note the extremely stylish Nokian rubber boots worn by the Finnish chaps.
Looks like a lovely break during a lovely day. Can hear and smell the place.
Looks like kuksa on the ground, front center. Maybe it belongs to the photographer?
Beer, Banya, Bvodka…brothers til the end
Russia really isn’t cute right now
What guards?
War sucks
Russians and Ukrainians hopefully doing some of this realizing their masters are idiots.
A friend of mine crossed the border from Greece into Turkey in the 1980s. As he left Greece his passport was examined by an english-speaking soldier from Sydney, Australia doing his national service to retain his Greek nationality. On entering Turkey his passport was examined by a an english-speaking soldier from Melbourne, Australia doing his national service to retain his Turkish nationality.
