If by this stupid shit you mean finlands own defence (because that is where the majority of the spending goes to, not ukraine) then i guess thats that. Its not like you are bordering any countries that have started any armed conflicts with their neigbouring states since the 2000s and its not like you have any historic conflicts and contested territories with any country. You should rightfully protest the dismantling of the welfare state and the money should come from rich tax evaders like it should anywhere else. Its not a choice between welfare state and increased defence spending. You can have both

the amount of arms finland has directly donated covers unemployment benefits for 354 000 people for a year.

there are 325 000 unemployed job seekers right now and finland's population is 5.7 million people.
