Your link does not support your claim that little Finland was planning an invasion of Soviet. Only that Soviet claimed to feel threatened(!) and faked a Finnish artillery attack (just like the Nazis did with Poland, btw) so they could declare war.
Sorry, you're just a dishonest apologet for one of the worst dictatorships in history or a troll.

I can only repeat myself: In case you are wondering, my position is that 1917's revolution was a tragedy and Russia would've been better off if it didn't happen, Stalin is a criminal etc., but the logic of moving border westward have nothing to do with this because I don't see any alternative scenarios not leading to bigger casualties on part of Russia.
- berntb 13y agoSo you argue that because Finland wanted a part of Finnish-speaking area in the previous world war, they would start a war with a super power with two factors of ten larger population twenty years later? That is just ridiculous. Finland built defensive lines after WW I, not attack weapons like tanks. And so on.
