It's funny that this post is spreading such a distorted image of Finland during WWII, but it comes out being more reasonable than others because you're not an armchair warhawk. These countries are bourgeois democracies beholden to the international ruling class, and therefore the USA. People are being made to fall into the scheme, and quelled.

You should read the Tuomas Tepora book on the Finnish Civil War.

Well, I was referring to Post-WWII USSR. Finland did loose 1/3 of its land to Moscow's ambitions earlier on. However, unlike Ukraine today, Finland discovered what the Soviets wanted from them was to cover a security hole more than just grab plain land mass. Finland gave them that security and no more confrontation ever since and Finland was able to prosper immensely... even during the most expansionary moments and power of the Soviets. All that lesson from the Finnish elders is forgotten now, and instead of neutrality, they choose now to follow Kyiv's path and head to NATO.

I'll check that book.

It covers the whole historical debate over fascism and the USSR in Finland. If you enjoy it I've got more recommendations regarding how western academia has turned the humanities into propaganda departments, fascism in Ukraine, you name it. Just get it off of Anna's Archive if you need to, I must have everyone read it 😁

Thanks... wait, wait... hold the horses... I can only take one reading at the time! I had never heard about "Anna’s Archive" as a thing... glad you told me and that I searched it.
