I would have done the same if it was about national survival. Nobody was coming to Finland's aid. They had run out of options. Nazi Germany was the last option.

Not exactly first or last time this has happened. Vietnam had been promised independence from the US after WWII, and tried to align with the US. When they US, renegaded on their promise and let France take Vietnam back, those fighting for Vietnamese independence ran out of options, and eventually allied with their last option, the Soviets. Same with the founding of Israel. the UK and the US refused to take in jewish refugees from Nazi Germany. It left jews with the shitty option of declaring the state of Israel for their own survival. People want to survive so they pick the options they have even if they aren't great. Then they get to listen to people from big countries moralize and criticize for the rest of their existence. Okay, that last part was kind of exaggerated ;-)
