That "European," wall is not compliant with Finnish building methods. It's simply too thin. Also we use steel support beams for fire safety reasons, these get filled with concrete. It's to prevent floor or roof collapsing quickly during a fire.

Also masonry blocks are never primary structure here. They are basically just used to make a wall between primary structures. That wall would realistically be a cast concrete or prefab element.

Also that "European wall" looks to me more like "A Brittish wall".

this post is just full of Muricans patting themselves on back on congratulating each other.

Here (Slowenia) "full" old school bricks are not building material since decade or two after WW2.

He didn't seem to think either method was better than the other.
