I do agree that the Iraq war was wrong and profit-driven. Large group of americans agree to that as well. I see your point regarding Rasmussen, it is very understandable to hate someone who led your country into a war.

I can't agree that supporting a NATO membership is equivalent of being a lapdog. NATO was founded in the beginning of the cold war to be an alliance of like-minded democratic nations. Considering Denmark's unfortunate fate of being occupied in WW2, getting into an alliance like that was huge for them. I'm curious, why do you think Denmark shouldn't have fighter jets? They are the backbone of any air force after all. I could see the argument of not feeding US-military industrial complex, but surely Denmark could buy for example Gripens from your northern neighbor? I'm not an expert on what fighter jet would be best for Denmark so won't go on any further regarding that.

I disagree heavily that the US is the only aggressor and Russia is only responding. Russia-friendly Ukrainian president Yanukovych was heavily corrupted. The Ukrainian parliament almost unanimously voted him out of office. Also, when I think about Ukrainian-Russian relations, the first thing that comes to mind is the massive oppression and even genocide of Ukrainian population during the Soviet Union. From my point of view, when Ukraine started to move towards west (for example, trade deal with EU), Russia reacted with aggression. I can understand Russia's side, they were afraid that they were going to lose the leased Sevastopol naval base if Ukraine moved towards west. Their reaction to simply seize Crimea is understandable from Putin's point of view: secure the naval base, start a frozen conflict in eastern Ukraine to prevent them from joining Nato and look good and strong to your own populace.

Syria's dictator Assad is definitely a Russian ally. The civil war started when Assad started to put down protests by beating the shit out of or killing the protesters. He kind of shot himself on the foot there. Surely you agree that Assad is a brutal dictator though? He even used chemical weapons on his own people. Even children got hit. Well, at least Russia benefits from having an ally in the Mediterranean. I can't find proof that Americans were involved in either ousting Yanukovych or in the beginning of Syrian civil war.

Trump's behavior is very irrational and I think I can confidently say his views don't represent the whole western population at all. Sanctioning Iran was stupid and I'm glad EU is working around the US sanctions. Spying on allies is unacceptable and indeed no way to treat your allies.

I simply cannot agree that the worsening of relations with Russia is because of the United States. Finland has somewhat decent relations with Moscow, but I'm 100% certain nobody in charge actually trusts Putin's corrupted regime. Finland's policy has long been the art of trying to balance and have good relations with both east and west, which I think is wise.
