but now russian millionares are buying up finland ,and finns are selling their country because russians pay double prise for property,so finland is soon ex finland
@CullTheLivingFlower yeah, allied until the lapland war where finland fought against the nazis. also, had the soviet union actually invaded finland, the country would most likely be a much worse place than it is now.
@CullTheLivingFlower This video referred to the Winter War. Back then Finland was not ally of Nazi - there were no germans in Finland fighting russians and germans didn't care a shit about Finland. In Molotov-Ribbentrop-pact Hitler gives Stalin rights to conquer Baltia and Finland. So pretty good ally eh?
Continuation War is different story. Finns were alone, no one helped, Stalin wanted to attack.. Hitler offered his help, what should've finns do? Say no for soldiers and weapons?
@CullTheLivingFlower That "alliance" really is only a technicality. Only Germany agreed to aid with supplies against the Soviets (in the Continuation War, not the Winter War which this video is about). After securing previously lost lands the Finns refused to aid Hitler and later proceeded to drive out the remaining nazi forces in Lapland.
It isn't a simple enough matter to just brush it off as the two being "allied" and leave it at that.
@CullTheLivingFlower I love how you are so proud that no organisation or country did effectively nothing to prevent USSR starting hostilities in 1939 or the Soviet attempt to invade Finland. Don't forget Finland is democratic country that respects human rights unlike USSR.
I know it's more to do with rooting for the winners, but it's interesting nonetheless.
Maybe it's because they know the history behind it and you do not. USA never declared war on Finland.
@Tadpolek When did I say that USA declared war on Finland? The fact is that, however tentative, the alliances broke down to Germany-Finland vs Britain-Russia. I really don't get why all you people are so butthurt. I just found it interesting that we all root for Finland and are proud of their victory when if it wasn't for Russia and it's valiant effort against the Germans there is a very good chance Germany would have won WW2.
The USSR rarely gets the respect it is due for it's part in WW2.
@CullTheLivingFlower The "butthurt" comes from your stupid comments. Russia was just as bad as the Nazies. The difference is that Germany started the war of aggression by breaking the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, which was partly due to how poorly Russia fared against Finland in the winter war. Finland was fighting as co-belligerent with Germans. There never was a formal alliance.
Your comments make it look like that it is "weird" to root for those who are righteous and fighting for survival
@CullTheLivingFlower And no, Russia deserves no respect in WW2 because they were also one cause of it. If Soviets had not sided with Nazies before the war, I would share your opinion. I would even go so far and speculate that British and its western allies would've been fighting Russians alongside with Germans if Russian performance in Winter War wasn't so abysmal, which encouraged Hitler to start Operation Barbarossa.
@CullTheLivingFlower If Finland had fallen 1939, it could have been Russia that broke the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and entire Europe could have eventually been consumed by the Russians. Do you think Stalin would've just stopped it to Germany had it been other way around? It's a very thin line here when we talk about two maniacal dictators. We are very lucky that Stalin executed his educated military leaders before starting the war that consequently led to western world siding with Russians.
@CullTheLivingFlower But I digress the ifs and could haves. My point is that war with Finland and Russians (Winter War) is detached from World War 2. It was a separate conflict, though it had heavy consequences that reached WW2. From this point of view your comments seem uneducated.
Simo Hayha was a Finnish sniper, who is credited with 505 confirmed sniper kills and over 200 kills with an SMG. They sent infantry, counter snipers and artillery, but they couldn't kill him. He died in 2002.
I can really hear in my mind after robert says molotov cocktail David's voice going "you are such a twat" in a really condescending Mark Corrigan way xD
wow he mentioned Finland omg I am going to die! (kidding) hehe but yeah molotov coctail is the only invention from Finland which is used at all ends of the world along with nokia phones of course.
I actually have to admit we lost and had to give up some land area. But before that we caused them 10 times the casualties they caused us, so it was a good fight 4 million made against 140.
@SPQSpartacus We lost some territory, but they wanted ALL of our land, and they got away with a fraction of it, plus MASSIVE casualties and equipment losses.
We lost some land, but In NO WAY did we lose that war.
@SPQSpartacus You Finns should have pushed into Lenningrad when you had the change, could have freed up some German divisions for the eventual push on to Moscow.
but now russian millionares are buying up finland ,and finns are selling their country because russians pay double prise for property,so finland is soon ex finland

I love how they're all so proud that Finland won. Don't forget Finland was a de facto ally of Nazi Germany and therefore Britain's enemy.
I know it's more to do with rooting for the underdog, but it's interesting nonetheless.
