The Canary Islands. They will march across the Atlantic Ocean into the Canary Islands. Because Putin, who now runs communist Russia, is *exactly* like Hitler...”
LOL, and then the Soviets will exile thousands of Ukrainians from Crimea into Siberia...and replace this population with ethnic Russians. Years after, Russians will vote to be annexed to Russia and fool the useful idiots into believing that is a valid vote.....
...Russia will annex Crimea and the coerce and intimidate Ukraine by putting hundreds of thousands of troops on the Ukraine border...
* Oh. Wait...
“The Finns had every reason to side with the Germans. The Russians had just taken massive amounts of their land and killed 50,000 of their people”
“Despite gaining around 22,000 square miles of Finish soil, the Soviets lost the Winter War, with 1,000,000 of their original 1,500,000 troops having been killed by the defending Finns. A Russian general later remarked that the land they had conquered was “just enough to bury their dead”.”
If Obama were around for 4 more yrs, Putin would
Just like Ukraine, Finland is a product of Soviet takeover of Russian Empire. I don’t think if Finland was ever independent as a nation-state before 1918. AFAIK, this territory was annexed by the Russians from Sweden some 200 years ago and locals has actually supported Russian takeover at the time (Swedes has taxed them too heavily).
On the other hand, Finns used last century to build their identity well.
It is one perfect example of self-determination which really worked into a successful nation.
I remember her having more hair on her legs than I had....
The Swedish Kingdom administered Finland as a Grand Duchy fully integrated into the kingdom. Due to the frequent wars with Russia that used the Grand Duchy of Finland as the frontier battleground for the wars, the nobility and others in Finland sought Russian assistance to gain autonomy from Sweden to end the fighting in the Finnish grand duchy. When the Russian Empire finally did succeed in defeating Sweden, the Grand Duch of Finland became an autonomous Grand Duchy in the Russian Empire. Although the Finns did not have a status as an independent nation state like today, it did have its own legislative body and a measure of autonomy comparable to that of many duchies and principalities found in the contemporaneous Holy Roman Empire.
Attempts by the Russian Empire to impose russification of language, culture, and government upon the heretofore autonomous Finnish nobility and peasantry of the Grand Duchy of Finland in 1899 to full independence in 1919.
Finland has been around as an autonomous culture for more centuries than many other nationa states around today, and they have been subjected to Russian invasions and attempts to Russify their culture for centuries as well.

No virtuous, Christian or even decent nation would ethnically cleanse whole areas of its original occupants, killing or displacing them to useless and barren corners of the earth, and hold its territory together through brute force and murder. That would be like the Nazis!
A true American will always overcome. It is our nature ;)

They weren’t Christians, they were Marxist communists. And they did this in the Crimea and many other places.
Whip them into a frenzy so they won’t notice what’s going on over here.
