[QUOTE="Kalevalatar, post: 66850565, member: 116770"] Your logic here is just as forced as Putin's. If the Americans in America mistreated the Spanish-speaking Americans, Spain should send troops to defend the Hispanic and Latino Americans because, duh, they speak a form of Spanish too! Oh boy. :doh: Do you realize that just that a Finn speaks Swedish does not make that Finn or his family and ancestors any more "Swedish" than the Finn who speaks Finnish? I should know, I married one whose Swedish-speaking family has lived here in Finland since time immemorial and have nothing to do with Sweden. Both the Finnish and the Swedish (and the Sami and the Karelian languages and the sign language) speaking Finns were once part of the Swedish realm as a colony, just as the United States of America used to be a European colony, and then part of the Russian realm, during which time many adopted the Russian language, Marshal Mannerheim for example. Does not make Mannerheim Russian any more than being from a Swedish-speaking family makes him Swedish; Mannerheim's family was German. Mannerheim's loyalty, however, was to Finland, obviously, despite the fact that he hardly spoke Finnish. Common language does not common allegiance make. [/QUOTE]
