  1. Translated with translator: Suomen asia on meidän. Yhteisen asian puolesta. Liitytään NATOON yhdessä.
    Finnish cause is ours. For a common cause. Join NATO together.

  2. This is actually a modified world war 2 poster. The original was meant to inspire Swedes to join the volunteer corps to fight in Finland.

  3. Original: https://worldwarera.se/products/finlands-sak-ar-var-poster

    Swedish propaganda from WW2, the original says:

    “Finland’s cause is ours!

    For a greater struggle

    join the volunteer corps”

    The volunteer corps was about 8 000 men strong during its operations 1939-1940.

    In this variant the two final lines have been changed:

    “For a common cause

    join NATO together”

    For context the phrase “Finland’s cause is ours” is extremely well known in Sweden and pretty much a part of the collective psyche.

  4. Yes, tämä(=this)! We are going to join together, unless something bad happen in the ice hockey world championship. Just kidding of course, but it’s a bit funny that the meeting concerning NATO between Finland and Sweden is during the tournament.

    Hyvä Suomi! Hyvä Ruotsi!
