  1.  @anaccountmusthaveaname9110  It is. "Regime change" are not "Conquest". That's why Stalin always able to get away with his invasions. He invade Baltic and hand over those countries to local communist party instead turning them into reich commisariat like Hitler did. The only territory he got are from the Finn so they can get away and Kaliningrad, because they are the one who start the whole mess.

  4.  @creatoruser736  They just came out from Winter War where they have severe disadvantage in ammo and weaponry (using several different kind of rifle and ammo) I doubt they can get anything from Germany who use even more different weapon and Ammo. The Finnish Success happen because the soviet just pull their division out and everyone know that in December they bring reinforcement from Transbaikal and Far Eastern Front. And Since the Soviet in Winter war severely hampered with their logistic when moving through those area why you think the Finns have better since they use the same road as the soviet. The Soviet even have Moscow-Munmansk railroad to help with logistic, the Finn have none.

  6.  @michealohaodha9351  You do realize that even Stalin cant believe it can go down that badly. It supposed to be simple land swap but ended up with soviet get all what they want but with a war Stalin never want.

  7.  @michealohaodha9351  So he can get away with his invasion. You wont get away if you invade and take land just like Hitler did, but you can if you invade and install puppet government, just like Stalin and US did.

  10.  @anaccountmusthaveaname9110  No, they can jujitsu their way when pupet government was funded. Telling everyone that these new government invited them in. If the Soviet annex those territories instead giving them to local communist party no one can give them any justification. This is why Hitler and Stalin difrent. Hitler want "living space". Stalin want "influence". One clearly more criminal than the other although its legitimacy depends on how long those puppet government can stay in power.

  11.  @vandeheyeric  "The Terijoki government was established AFTER the Soviet declaration of war and invasion (which is why it was named how it was, after a Finnish village that was overrun at the time). It was meant to be the future puppet rulers of Finland ala what had happened with Estonia, Latvia, and so forth. And it was probably intended as such at the start of negotiations." Yeah by doing so he can get away with his invasion. Its hard to understand that? Stalin invade to install puppet government, not to prepare massive colonization effort in the area. Like what Germans did. "Again, this is blatantly false and shows you don't actually know twat the Soviets did in the crucial Winter of 1939-40. The invasion of Eastern Poland was an annexation; no puppets, no intermediaries, no ultimatum, no stage managed elections. Just the Red Army rolling in and taking its share of the loot." The one who annex polish territory are the Latvian, The Belarusian and the Ukrainian, payback from 1920. Alsothat started because Germans walk beyond Curzon Line. "Again, the Soviets also started the mess, as shown by the genocide of the Poles East of the Curzon Line" I dont think its count as genocide. Since majority of poles in that prison serve in 1st Polish army. "Hardly. Both were utterly criminal to such a degree that deciding which one was less criminal is pretty much splitting hairs." If the puppet regime are happy with it they can get away freely.

  12. they dont really do mass trench warfare anymore so gas lost effectiveness.

  13.  @vandeheyeric  Most of gasses they have are heavy. They go downward.

  14.  @vandeheyeric  Most military observer already concluded that the use of mustard gas against Ethiopian have little effect. It somehow have little effect because the Ethiopian are unprepared. Against any other army it will have no effect since war no longer fought with complex trench system and even soviet can easily provide gas mask to every soldier.
