So this became the Finland against USA thread now? But on the thread topic I voted for "M.A.D." It's not too difficult to see how a nuclear conflict would escalate into full blown destruction.

On the matter of having weapons.. I haven't yet needed one, ever. Unless you count the times I needed knife and matches to make a fire.. one or two and even that was in the army, where I carried that useless piece of metal (thats what it felt like during the marches) some people call an assault rifle around anyway. For what would an honest person need a weapon, unless one is put to a finnish court where they turn the victim into a criminal... so maybe it would be useful to get a gun after all.

Using a knife against foreign invaders with smart bombs? Uh.. well there must be some people around that would do just that.. in case the invader would come from Russia that is. Old saying "I'll defend my country no matter what part of east the enemy attacks from".
