Winter War: The 1939 Soviet Invasion Of Finland In Crystal-Clear Photos

Invading Finland has not generally gone very well for Russia. And despite its erratic leadership, Russia is not in a very strong place.

Having the shooting ranges is a good idea in principle, but if they don’t have a Russian minority they are severely mistreating they are deluding themselves about any real risks from the east.

The Finns closed 1,400 rifle ranges out of 2,000 that were operating in the year 2000....The Finnish military expects a great many of its 900,000 reservists to be able to accomplish many of the same feats as Simo Häyh.

Seems like a big disconnect there!

You and the Fins really want a hot war with Russia, don’t you?

Things like that happen when a country renounces neutrality and throws in with the globohomo’s new thug, NATO. Just ask all the dead Ukes.

Good for them.

Outstanding. Finland, the birthplace of the .338 Lapua Magnum rifle cartridge. Reach out and touch someone.
