As bravely as the Fins fought Russia’s takeover in WW2, they are no match for Russia then or now.

To: Tell It Right
The Soviet army had 30 times the aircraft and 100 times the planes as the Finn in 1939. And the Finns still have them a very sharp bloody nose.

If the Russians attempted to take military action against a NATO-allied Finland, They'd be outnumbered in terms of aircraft, and their advantage in tanks would last only as long as it took NATO to reinforce. The Finnish terrain is a huge advantage for the defender.
