USSR was a pain in the arse during the Cold War. Putin is repeating this with all the intimidation, threats, bluster and bull shyte.

Russia has never threatened Finland in modern history

Well, I guess it technically it was the Soviet Union, not Russia, that fought a couple wars with Finland and seized a substantial portion of it.

The Fins are idiots for not maintaining their neutrality. Wait until the US start stationing short range nukes there and see what happens. They are setting themselves up to be a first strike target in any WW3 scenario.

FTA: “Russia has never threatened Finland in modern history.”

I guess Russians define “modern history” as the post 1991 years.

I thought Russia was threatening Santa Clause and the North Pole.

There’s just no evil Russia won’t stoop to under Putin.

If Russia were to invade, if they even have the forces, they will lose the other half of Finland.

Poor Russians, they seem to have forgotten the Winter War, where they suffered severe losses and initially made little headway.

Finland repelled Soviet attacks for more than two months and inflicted substantial losses on the invaders in temperatures as low as āˆ’43 Ā°C (āˆ’45 Ā°F).

Hostilities ceased in March 1940 with the signing of the Moscow Peace Treaty in which Finland ceded 9% of its territory to the Soviet Union. Soviet losses were heavy, and the country’s international reputation suffered.

Their gains exceeded their pre-war demands, and the Soviets received substantial territories along Lake Ladoga and further north. Finland retained its sovereignty and enhanced its international reputation

The modern era goes much earlier than 1989. Pre-commie Russia has annexed Finland more than once in recent centuries.

Russians being Russians with their bullying and lies.

But at least Finland isn’t a hopelessly corrupt fake democracy unlike another European country I could mention.

Russia has already bitten off more than it can chew. Contemplating a war with Finland is just a ludicrous joke.

The Russian economy is withered to the point of shambles. Air traffic to far-flung locations in in doubt because there is a serious lack of regular maintenance on the Air Bus and Boeing jets that make up most of the Russian civil aviation capacity. And that is just one example of the withering.

Russia, the last time you tried this Finland kicked your butts.

The last time you sort of won a war it was with the US sending you supplies. Not sure we should have done that but whatever.

As the USSR you could not beat Finland, as Imperial Russia you could not beat Japan.

Just stop. You are really bad at war.

This is another milestone for the Kremlin. Over the last 22 months, they have had numerous successes in their glorious struggle against fascists, neocons and the World Economic Forum:

1. Invaded a foreign country, and then left a commie junk yard between Chernobyl and Kiev.

2. Got tens of thousands of their own people killed.

3. Launched a fortune in expensive weapons into poorly constructed soviet-era apartment buildings.

4. Got rid of Prigozhin after he made fools out of Putin and the Degenerate Tuvan on live TV.

5. Sold oil to Chinese and Indian interests at a discount, as opposed to selling at market prices.

6. Lost gas export capacity due to unfortunate developments involving the Nord Stream route.

7. Lost Russian-owned gas storage capacity in Western Europe to nationalization.

8. Created a cottage industry for videos of exploding Russian things.

9. Caused NATO to grow.

10. And made NATO relevant again, something even NATO couldn't do.

On the other side of the ledger, the Kremlin has failed to eliminate the neocon/nazi/WEF menace. More important, they failed to secure the land over the pipelines across southern Ukraine to Uzhgorod, where all that Rooshin gas has to go to get to the hard currency markets.
