Happy Birthday Finland < 3

I have a great privilege to announce that we, Finns have been independent for a total of 97 years. Today, on 6th of December, we celebrate this everlasting freedom by...well, doing whatsoever. Anyways: Hurray Hurray Hurray! And Fuckya Putin. Grow up and see that man cannot get everything he wants. We are not available. Our country won't be given away by any means. We have all this to prove our  independence and oneness as a nation:
