Finns still sore about losing the Winter War. Which they lost. They were defeated. They had to tap out. It’s just that they were smart enough to concede and trade a good chunk of their territory for continued statehood. A lesson lost in time.
- mtizim 3y ago> a lesson lost in time What exactly are you implying?

Knowing when to quit—it’s a lesson for everyone, of course. Knowing that when you take a gamble you could lose it all.
- mtizim 3y agoI knew what you were implying of course, I just wanted to see it written explicitely. It's funny to see a russian sockpuppet under an article about propaganda.
- rainworld 3y agoPlease don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken.

Can’t say I know any Poles irl but that certainly matches the impression one gets on-line.
