So, you may be saying, "Friar, I read that op-ed piece by Vladimir Putin in the New York Times,
and I'm a little concerned about that part where he talks about the
League of Nations collapsing like the United Nations when member nations
act on their own, because I checked a little history and found out that
the League of Nations booted the old U.S.S.R. when it invaded Finland
in 1939, while the United Nations has basically gone 'Lalala not
listening' in Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia in 1968, Afghanistan in
1980, Chechnya in 1991 and 1999, Georgia/South Ossetia in 2008 and so
on. I'm worried that after all of these years, now that we recognize ol'
Vlad as a peacemaker and all-around swell fellow, Finland won't be able
to get its payback because it's going to be at the tail end of the line
of the nations that get justice under all this new reasonableness and
all."
And I say to you, would a band of Finnish musicians
sporting fake pompadours pointier than Italian shoes, calling themselves
the Leningrad Cowboys and
playing a variety of classic rock and modern hits with a bad Russian
accent, accordions, a horn section and sometimes as many as 30 folks in
military uniforms as a chorus constitute an adequate revenge?
Then behold the wrath of the Finns:
