@nottoday3817 Pyrrhic victory

@PMaximov Finland was not yet fully industrialized, meaning that the Soviet Union won mostly collective farms and cow manure. Someone could claim that Finland won the "Great Patriotic War". Most of the army came home to rest and received a dose of state cognac in the fall of 1944, and celebrated Christmas at home. Meanwhile, the Soviets were fighting their way to Berlin. https://images.app.goo.gl/GotSsbPaFZ6zbTja6

B A It was a different generation because the ceasefire agreement specifically ordered demobilization. The so-called children's crusade was more like a police operation. The Soviet Union also had no resources to trap them, so some 200,000 Germans left Finland unharmed.

@simplicius11 "Where did they found weapons" Maybe it was the Lend-Lease policy. Btw. East Karelia voted in favor of secession from Soviet Russia. Apparently Finland did not support enough the rebels because minister responsible for border control was assassinated by an extremist group. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_intervention_in_the_Russian_Civil_War

@jasongibson5625 Perhaps there is an ulterior motive behind such an assertion, that the subsequent alliance with Germany was a mistake because the cattle shelters and medieval buildings of Vyborg were not worth it. Luftwaffe practically saved democracy in Finland in the summer of 1944. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Kuhlmey

@softstone125 Finns also had an unwritten Bushido rule that surrender is not an option, but they always try to get out of the trap immediately as it forms instead of waiting for salvation.

@Contagious93812 Operation Barbarossa literally began at the present state border, it has not moved anywhere. Petsamo (population 3188) was annexed to Finland in 1920 and rightly belongs to Russia. If that is winning, then I don't want to know what happens when the Soviets lose.

lol modern lifestyle 21:41 ...I've always wondered how those kinds of people survived the war. Probably due to an exceptionally enlarged brain. But he would still have been really slender as this organist: https://www.bitchute.com/video/jNSngdXKWdqy/

Whether Vyborg was the most industrialized or not, 80% of the population lived in rural villages. For example, nowadays my home town Kuopio (in the middle of nowhere) is bigger than Vyborg.

@nneesskkee I know. That is why I have some doubts about the "hi-tech park" of 1939, even though it was a Nordic country. These people were literally like the Mennonites: https://youtu.be/Xqp4ixoi8rU

@nneesskkee I largely agree that the situation was hopeless in 1940. Although these claims usually come from NATO supporters, I am not in favor of full membership. In any case, a crisis situation would ultimately put Finland in a position of co-belligerence with NATO.
