Okay! I’ll do it. TAKE IT!!!
Ukraine put up a gallant fight...but all the money in the world cannot help them at this point as what they need is TIME, roughly 2 to 3 years, so that West can actually produce and deliver large quantities of weapons to them...now that we’ve tapped out what we had.
FTA: The Finnish leader said “...that Finland was unable to resist because it wasn’t getting the help from the West that it had been promised.”
The situation in Finland in 1940 is very much different from the situation in Ukraine today.
For starters, Finland was pretty much on its own in 1939 and 1940, when the USSR invaded it. Ukraine today is not alone and is not isolated, and is getting all kinds of support from the West (much to the chagrin of several FReepers).
Moreover, the total size of the Finnish military in 1939 when the USSR invaded was 160,000. The USSR suffered 350,000 casualties out of the 450,000 that had invaded.
The USSR eventually prevailed in what was a Pyrrhic victory. And, what the USSR had gained in Finnish territory in 1940 was retaken by the Finns a couple years later.
Ukraine is much larger and much stronger than Finland was in 1939 - 1942. Moreover, Ukraine is not alone, and is being supported and supplied by the West.
Finally, that hatred factor: Ukrainians HATE Russia, whereas the Finns simply didn’t trust the Russians, and wanted to be left alone by them.
Russia may well militarily win a Pyrrhic victory against Ukraine, but it will lose the peace.
We’ll see.

That Military commander looks to be about to Zelensky to the side.
Then, they will call for a cease fire and end it.
Once again just a pure propaganda version of the interviews. I would never say that Ukraine definitely can defeat the Soviet Union or rather as they call themselves now Russia. However, this is propaganda.
good report, thanx for the text, saves time.
Thank you for the report.
If you see a fork in the road, take it!
The never-ending bullying by the neocon Fascists in the West goes on and on and on.
Nonsense. The analogy with Finland being made is to wait for a hard freeze so the units held in reserve can advance. The Ukrainians will never surrender because they know Russia intends to conquer the whole country not just part of it. Russia would have to kill them all.
As if the general leading Ukraine’s armed forces in cleaning Russia’s clocks cares what a disbarred lawyer and RT thinks.
