Finland eventually lost that war and lost about a third of its territory.

True that. Finland lost the Winter War. But they sure gave the Red Army a bloody nose. And of course they picked the wrong side in WW II, and so lost even more territory.

But I find it interesting that Stalin then left Finland alone. The Red Army occupied Axis partners Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. And he set up puppet governments there. But he left Finland alone.

Correct...but Putin doesn't have a million men to lose and then follow on with another million. And current news is that the Ukrainians have taken the page from the Finns with small killer teams using Javelins and NLAWS to surprising effect....with more missiles being shipped to them from various sources.
