instead of thinking

>finnish nationalists

and USSR had to defend its territorial integrity

we had jyst fought a brutal civil war

wounds were still heaming

healing

at first it wasnt so good, because Finland was undeveloped shithole without roads, just frozen swamps

so Soviet tanks couldn't penetrate it easily

yet everyone agreed upon the fact that your ilk were scum

and not to be trusted

but in the end Finns got fucking REKT

our only goal was to preserve our independence

and so we did

and they lost way more territory, population and industry that Soviets asked from them in the first place

with great losses

oh yeah

just like germany asked for more land

right

idiot

basically, should have negotiated, instead of sperging out but I don't think nationalists are capable of reasoning

>negitiated

with what?

with the USSR

based soviets

if we would have given in they would have taken more

no

yeah right of course

come on stop the baiting

USSR could have invaded and taken your entire country

its getting dull

they didn't

even if you showed very bad will

???

you arent making any sense

you lost the war

we neve did

never*

Soviets would be capable of pressing on

but they didnt because they had to race to berlin

actually I'm not even talking about that

rn I'm talking about Winter War only

you do realise the only goal we had was to prserve our nation

not the Continuation War

dude

you fucking idiot

they are interconnected

you cant just ignore one

yes I know and you've lost both

you dull fuckwit

Soviets could have invaded your country

they didn't

after the war?

they've just taken what they needed

why would they

lmao

karelia is a shithole

you do realise the avreage living went to even worse

you've lost like 20% of your industry

Vyborg

wait are you

an idiot

finnish industry rised expotentionally for a while

to the 60s

in the 60s

but I'm talking about your wars with the Soviets

you only lost territory

and actually quite a substantial amount

you lost your second largest city

karelia wasnt our second largest back then

not by a longshot

no sorry

have you ever heard

of Viborg?

viiouri

viipuri*

Viipuri or sth

it wasnt

it was tho

wait a second I'll check it

and if it was its not relevant to this

if it wasn't, it was still among the largest

i dont really care

we kept what we had to

we didnt lose our nation

>In the inter-war decades, the town, Viipuri, was the second biggest town in Finland and the seat of Viipuri Province.

talking about lost wars when half of europe fell under soviet tyranny

you could have kept more and even get some new territory if you have negotiated with the Soviets

instead of fighting a lost war

we didnt know that

we had no reason to trust stalin

the communists were main reason why we had the civil war

soviets gave reds weapons

we had no reason to trust them

chill tbh that's only a thought experiment, it's sometimes fun to look from the other side

>thought experiment

no fuck off

even the people living in fucking cuba know the history books soviets give them were all bullshit propaganda

ive been there two times

they fucking hate the soviets as well

your commiebooism is pathetic
