The history is pretty undeniable and politics have a long memory. I'd say america currently, the Russa-Georgia war gave a good scare even though the politicians claim it hasn't affected us. Before that there'd been more positive opinion towards Russia developing.. But honestly Russia is right there and a huge border with it. Not cool. It tends to be playing with fire at times. Last time I checked Russia gave Finland a note about bad treatment of Russian minority in the country and commented really negatively on the ex-president receiving a Nobel peace prize. Don't you just love it when power politics start rolling.. But I'm biased because of my own opinion.The country has been pretty comitted in EUs own military things, hoping that would provide some security.

Honestly, right now the politics are going toward joining Nato, the neutrality is starting to change.

But as I said, I'm biased. Carry on.
