If I had a cent for every time the Finnish allied themselves with the most Nazi-like regime in a given century, I would have 2 cents, but it's still weird that it happened twice.

It's almost like richest 0.01%, and the political classes they own, trend towards psychopathy/sociopathy, which is why so many of them support fascism.

Jaakkola declined to assess the moral dimension of cooperation with Israel, saying military leadership traditionally avoids judging political decisions.

Such a vague way to say they ignore war crimes committed by a government.

It makes sense though. From a military perspective it's not smart to make them an enemy. If the enemy has good weapons you would want to use them too. Israel is very strong in cyberwarfare for example.
