Fash and libs united in seething over Finland getting wrecked after attempting to replicate Manifest Destiny on Karelia and Murmansk. Love to see it.

    I actually can blame Finland for it's role in prolonging the holocaust by tying up soviet resourses that otherwise would have allowed a more speedy defeat of Nazi Germany.

    It's not difficult

      Can also much more directly blame Finland for being complicit in the Siege of Leningrad, which killed over 1.5 million people, many of whom were civilians starved to death.

        :rage-cry: "b-b-buh but the finnish troops didnt actually attack Leningrad, so you cant blame them for it! they just stood there with their guns pointed at the russkies, doing nothing!! we are blameless!!"*

        *actual argument i heard when i said that finland participated in the siege

            i personally love how the finns dug in for years building fortifications and they got folded back to the old border in two weeks :data-laughing:

            of course the cope is that the advance was finally stopped at the border, rather than the advance losing momentum, and they probably could've marched all the way to the sea with the next attack :edgeworth-shrug:

      Recently I learned Sweden was a major supplier of iron to the Nazis. :ancap-good:
