Re: Danish politician stakes claim to Swedish territory
Yes, but I think that you're unjust to Finns. I think there is mutual belonging with Finns to some extent too. Yes, they are not Germanic, but they are closely related with other Scandinavians. Religion, history, values, way of life etc.
For example, orthodox Karelians are Finno-Ugric but they have common values, religion and way of life with northern Russians, that's why Russians feel that Karelians are almost ethnic Russians. Also they are close to northern Russians anthropologically. Something like that.
