Gets his ass beat
And Finland did hit Soviets extremely efficiently and painfully! The fact that Finland never become Russian province speaks volumes. Stalin really tried… and it cost Russia a lot of lives.
Now, instead Finland is Ukraine.
And Russia hasn’t changed one bit since then.
By no means Finland is a small man.
Soviets had 5 times more active army, 100 times more tanks and planes. And yet they have suffered 5 times more casualties.
What a blunder
I can’t remember who said it, I’m leaning towards the Finnish defence minster or high-ranking general.
A little while after the war in Ukraine kicked off, Russia moved troops up to the Finnish border.
The guy was asked what he thought about this show of force from Russia, his quote went something along the lines of “let them come, we will bury them next to the ones that are already here.”
History is repeating. The Soviet’s “victory” against Finland in 1938/1939 is arguably the costliest military campaign in history. Not because the USSR lost an absurd amount of men but because their “victory” exposed to the whole world (including the moustache man from Austria) how weak, disorganised and pathetic the red army in reality is. There is a good argument to be made that Germany wouldn’t have attacked the Soviet Union during WWII if they thought that the red army was big, competent and scary.
So there is an argument to be made that you can add the casualties of the winter war and WWII and blame this endevour for all the deaths that happened.
I said that history is repeating: Russia has attacked a much smaller, weaker and defenseless country, with the idea in mind, to conquer this country in a quick, painless war. Now everyone can see how incompetent and weak Russia’s army is. A big country right around the corner of Russia that seeks to conquer its rightful territory, which just so happens to be in Russia and that thinks of itself as god’s chosen people is eyeing up and probably thinking about exploiting Russia’s military blunder to their advantage.
Ha ha ! let’em try, Finland is
1. prepared
2. not alone, like, really
Which makes you think Russia ‘s basically trying to create a diversion
They cooking something else and it’s nasty, of course ….
New crucial campaign in Ukraine likely, and they hope NATO will look away for even a minute
