One of the nastiest and most brutal wars no one ever heard of. Poor clueless Russian conscripts died like flies. I would guess if you were Soviet and got wounded that it was all over.
Finland lost about 25% of it’s population? The Finns are tough people and also smart.
Stalin is no friend of Scandinavia.
Let’s beat Russia once and for all like our forbearers did.
Russia exists at Scandinavian will.
Unless you can nuke ‘em, you cannot defeat ‘em.
The Russians are defeating themselves right now.The birth rate is way down and their population is dropping.If this continues,they won’t be able to hold their own country.
What forebearers are those? The Mongols?
Finland, a ruthless Nordic nation opposed to Stalinism armed with pukko knives you would not exactly enjoy encountering while at war.
Be carefule what you wish for. If the Ruso birth rate is down, will muslims take their place like England? The Russians, at the very least, like to live.

The Finns valiantly tried to defend themselves from a russian attack.
Only the Germans “took Stalin on”
True what you said.
Anyhow, They are are so stupid, they never get anything right done.
Just look at them.
Americans are so much more clever than the Russians.
Russia is no real threat. They are the most stupid nation on Earth.
- and we Europeans don’t care.
Germany could not find the weak spots of Stalin’s forces.
Finland did.
The uncompromising hatred Mannerheim’s brave elite troops - the hakkapeliitta(in Finnish, this means “smash their skulls in”) evoced managed to bring Stalin to defeat.
Mannerheim was Stalin’s superior.
The greatest rifleman that ever lived was a fin that shot russians in ww2. I can’t remember his name. But I think he was under 5 feet tall.
fins aren’t scandinavian.
Bravest?
Hmm. And how many troops does Finland have in Iraq now?
How many in Afghanistan? Specifically how many?
Percentage-wise, how many compared to the United States?
Hmmm?
Shut the hell up.
Mannerheim made no claim of defeating Stalin when he wisely ceded so much territory after such great sacrifice in order avoid a certain catastrope.
That’s him. Been quite awhile since I read about him. Seems to me like he spent most of his time running, skiing, and walking. Had to keep on the move or the russians would find him. And he was always alone.
“Percentage-wise, how many compared to the United States?”
- Iraq?
Perhaps Finland is not the bravest of us all by that account.
But in terms of fighting Stalin they paid pretty much of a hefty price, did they not.
But how many soldiers have tiny Denmark (population 5 million) lost in Afghanistan?
I agree to shut up. I wish to prate a little less than you and I did just recently, remembering what price both Americans and Europeans pay fighting evil.
I choose not to have kids because there is no freedom left in the USSA.......try walking from Boston to Californa with a .22 rifle....... you won't get there......
