Karelia!

Sure, we'll be comitting 50% of our military strength, but it's worth it to free the oppressed Lapps.

You're less significant militarily than we are. We'll send in a platoon or two. The job'll be done in time for a late lunch.

Wait, you do have a military?

How large is it? 500 men with big sticks?

[KrazyHorse]

Of course, I'm sure the protestors will start with the "No blood for snow" line, but what the hell.

[Pekka]

Frogger, fair enough. You'll understand we don't settle military disputes with hockey sticks?

[The Vagabond]

What? A whole new thread is dedicated to this stinking issue??

LOL, I was on the other thread, and didn't even notice this one.

[Pekka]

Go see that link I provided

Canada and Viet Nam: the only two countries so far to trounce the US.

Tuome, yeah, those are funny links, very accurate too. 420 000 refugees from Karelia who lost their homes will laugh with you.

Pekka, right or wrong, Finland would have to increase it's military budget by 50%! to reach even NATO standards, very low. Finland hardly seems determined to retrieve its land...

This is the land just before Leningrad?

[The Vagabond]

I think Ming should close this thread as it unnecessarily doubles the other one.

[Pekka]

Lancer, yeah, we would have to beef the budget. So that is the biggest issue why people are against it IMO.
The reason it seems that way, is because our 'politicians' are crying girls, afraid of what Putin says to them because he has already warned about this issue.

Yes, this is the land just before Leningrad.

Sounds like we have some common ground, considering the Finns trounced Stalin.

[Pekka]

Yes.. Hitler didn't get to keep his conquered lands, and I don't see any reasons why Stalin should get to keep the either. It's not like he was a lot nicer.

No they didn't; they lost the Winter War, even with the Nazis' help.

That's what we're discussing here.

[Lancer]

Well, better to become an American if you can Pekka. Nothing to be done about Karelia with politicians like that, a miltary buget that compares to that of the Keebler Elves, and a Russia that inherited the stuff left over from former greatness, though rusting.

Finland lacks the balls to prepare and launch a credible attack. You wouldn't have to win, just show up in a serious manner.
