One more warning from the history of Finland's uneasy alliance with Nazis:
I believe almost every self-styled geopolitical "realist" could today ally with a monster just like Hitler.
It's crucial to understand that the Hitler of 1940 wasn't the Hitler we know. 1/

In 1940, when the Finnish leadership quietly decided to ally with Hitler, the greatest horrors we associate with the Nazis and Hitler hadn't even been decided yet.
Mass murders of Jews began in June 1941, and the Final Solution was formulated only in January 1942. 2/

@danusenerudova is up against Petr Pavel @general_pavel & oligarch & former PM @AndrejBabis
- While Pavel pledges to restore order, Nerudova has a vision of change.
Either would be far, far better than #Babis who could undermine🇨🇿's intl standing & support for #Ukraine.

Both Pavel & Nerudova will unify the anti-Babis vote in the second round but both have been criticised.
Pavel, more conservative, for his communist past. Nerudova, more liberal, for a scandal at her university - (+ some say she is lightweight but that may be partly misogyny).
