Finland lost ww2 as a member of the axis. The finnish army aided in the siege and starvation of Leningrad, which was one of the worst atrocities of ww2.
After they lost the war, they ceded part of their territory to become an SSR, and were never strong enough again to challenge the eastern bloc.
Finland was one of the front lines of the Russian revolution, and the whites used finland as a base of monarchist assaults and intrigues against the world’s first socialist state.
The finnish communists then unfortunately lost their civil war, the finns then killed all their communists and made the communist party illegal, and became one of the fascist / reactionary powers in the 30s like nazi germany.
Territorial disputes between the whites and reds escalated during the 30s leading to the winter wars, which finland lost, then ww2, which finland also lost.
You are again siding with the reactionary side of history.
B) Absolutely reddit brained and incorrect. The nazis invaded, the government collapsed, then the Soviets moved in from the east to evacuate civillians and secure defensive positions. This action saved 7 million people, as opposed to the Finnish participation in the Nazi seige of Leningrad which killed a million people.
Now what kind of person would equivocate the two, I wonder?🤔
Finland is an imperialist country governed by capitalists.
When was the last time Finland invaded someone?

Did something happen prior to that which may have made Finland less than friendly to the Soviet Union?
I wonder why they may not have wanted to ally with the country that just invaded them.

So Finland was a legitimate target because 20 years prior they were a jumping off point for the losing side of a civil war? Is that the gist?
It was actually precipitated by the Soviet’s demand that the Fins cede territory that kicked off the war.
You are siding with the imperialists here.
Are you excusing them for fighting enthusiatically alongside the Nazis in WW2?
The Soviets invaded Poland in conjunction with the Nazis under the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, are you sure you want to go down that route now?
A)Whataboutism:)
