Mostly recapture territory lost in the Winter War.

"May those who did it and their descendants be cursed!" Descendants? With that kind of logic, pretty all of mankind would be cursed.

 @ЭнкерСидоров : None of that makes right for descendants to receive a punishment.
2
@ЭнкерСидоров : I don't see how a punishment for descendants who have not themselves committed anything like this would help.

@ЭнкерСидоров : "I repeat to you again so that they do not repeat! " If you think that e.g. Finland would do some kind of "repeat", i.e. a second Continuation War is not in the least bit likely. And any kind of "punishment" would not probably decrease the likelihood of it anyway. (This kind of logic would lead to also many Russians to be punished as well, e.g. the descendants of those who participated in the Katyn massacre. There would probably be many more examples.) "And I repeat once again for the Finns what their grandfathers did was “protection”" Many have differing opinions about that. You can't lump them together. And in any case they're not responsible for the acts themselves. Punishment for just an opinion and lineage (or just lineage) cannot be justified and saying that it would somehow make "repeats" less likely is ridiculous.

@ЭнкерСидоров : "The Poles became a victim in that war, but they also contributed to the beginning of the war and they were not punished for it! And now they have again begun to incite everyone to war!" I do not see how any kind of "punishment" would improve things. By similar logic the former Soviet Union should be "punished" for e.g. the harsh occpupation in Poland (including the aforementioned Katyn massacre), for sending Germany grain and oil when Germany was already at war with the western Allies (until Germany attacked Soviet Union), for coups in the Baltic countries, for invading Finland, for sending political dissidents to gulags, for oppressing minorities, etc. One could probably come up with many more examples. Would it make sense to now wreak "punishment" on the descendants of the Soviets for these injustices? No. I say guilt isn't conferred to children but remain on the guilty individuals.

I think the accent should have at least been lighter.

@andrewrennie2352 : Nothing wrong? Really?

@Wezqu : Possibly he meant that the Finns didn't proceed past the pre-war borders on the Karelian Isthmus (or am I wrong?) which is the most relevant part for this siege.

@shizzlemasizzle : "seing as it cost the Germans the war" I don't think the Germans could have won no matter what they did.
1
@shizzlemasizzle : Let me clarify. I don't think Germany could have defeated the Soviet Union with a different strategy no matter what they did. (And Soviets did a larger part of the work in the European theater than the Western Allies.)
