    Perhaps the white Finn government shouldn’t have slaughtered its own people

    Yeah well civil wars are a bitch. It’s difficult to say for sure, but I’m pretty sure if the Reds had won that one, a similar or worse slaughtering would have taken place. At least it happened in every other place where the communists won a civil war.

    joined with Hitler, kept Russian people in concentration camps, and participated in the seige of Leningrad.

    I have to point out that when USSR first attacked Finland (Winter War), we were not yet allied with Hitler. USSR was actually enacting a secret deal[0] they had made with Hitler about the division of East Europe.

    The things you mentioned happened during the Continuation War, for which I think we were rightfully punished.

      “Uhh well the people we slaughtered totally would have done worse, despite the fact that we were allied with the Nazis and they were against them”

      Great little bit of projection my man

      The things you mentioned happened during

      So you admit you’re cool with concentration camps

      muh molotov ribbertropf

      Not sure why libs think this is some kind of trump card, but I never get tired of watching them whip it out thinking it will be like holy water to a vampire. Why yes, the USSR was forced to buy itself time to fend off lebensraum by itself after a decade of the other “allies” rejecting it’s defensive treaties and handing Hitler Czechoslovakia on a silver platter. It used that bought time to evacuate 7 million Jewish people from Poland. Say, what was white Finland doing with it’s Jewish people around then?

      For which I think we were rightfully punished

      I do not take the word of fascist’s descendants about whether or not they have been rightfully punished. The many thousands of working Finns who your government disappeared, tortured, raped, massacred, and dumped in ditches for the crime of wanting a better life would be a better authority on that.

      That you still sit there and bloviate about “well they would have done the same to us, probably!” Is the most naked fascist cope at your dogshit country being called out for what it has become, and proof positive that no, you were not punished enough.

        At the time of the Winter War? Nothing, I think? USSR destroyed a synagogue in bombings in Wiborg, though.

          Lmao that’s the weakest shit. “Sure we helped starve Leningrad and worked with the people who did the Holocaust, but look, some commies blew up a single synagogue during combat! This proves that we were right to massacre thousands and work with fascists, actually.”

          How do you type that out and fight off the embarrassment long enough to hit post? Long practice, I guess. Defending fascists tends to put you in the clown shoes time and time again.

            Ok, so disregard that part if you wish. Finland was doing nothing to its jewish population during Winter War.

        but that’s just it, they didnt.

        let’s look at the case of hungary. the respectable conservatives and the fascists murdered hundreds of thousands of fellow hungarians.

        the evil russian hordes that conquered the country… didnt. they did super minimal purges. sadly, they let the vast majority of the fascist scum live.

        so no, preemptively doing mass killings because the other side would do the same is a fascist/colonialist/racist myth.
