Without the knowledge we learned from the Winter War,
the 87th Infantry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division, might not have happened.
Thanks to Finland for that.

We should have been allies already in 1939 against the Soviet Union

Day in NATO-lake
The Black Sea WAS the Russian lake until Ukrainian Neptune missiles, seaborne drones, and HIMARs turned a Russian cruiser and several large landing craft into submarines and a submarine into a coral reef.

They're getting ready for Putin right now. Finland boosts war readiness in face of Russian aggression

Never Forget 911
Thank you for remembering,S&WShooterFIN.
Thank you from me, too. I'm glad that our countries stand together now.
If anybody knows about remembrance and staying vigilant, it's the Finns. Since about '39 or so. Stay frosty, my friend, and thanks for remembering.

As a neighbor of the east devil, we have to be on guard 24/7/365.
The Russian Naval Command has positioned two Buyan-M class missile corvettes on Lake Ladoga, located north of Priozersk, Russia. These corvettes are currently docked on the lake, about 30 miles from Finland
Russia deploys Buyan-M warships 30mi from Finland and Putin's Dacha
The border crossing points on the land border between Finland and Russia will remain closed until further notice.

Together stand with Ukraine!

Putin now faces NATO on an untenably long set of borders. He can't even keep Ukrainians out of the portions of Russia they now occupy.

I am sharing this so everyone in the US knows what the fate of the Ukrainians will be if Russia wins the war.
Ukraine needs weapons and permission to use all weapons without restrictions

Seeds of the Finnish people's hatred towards Russia were cruelly sown in the first half of the 18th century.
On the orders of the Russian Tsar Peter the Great, a genocide took place, which is known in Finland as "Great Wrath".
The Great Wrath started in full force in 1714 when the Swedish army suffered a decisive defeat in the Battle of Napue in Iso Kyrö.
It is still the worst massacre in Finnish military history.
In a couple of hours, 2,645 Finns who fought among the Swedes were killed.
After Russians drove the Swedes away, tsar gave his troops permission to rob, rape and kill all the Finns they encountered.
Tsar also ordered the population centers to be destroyed.
Nothing restrained the Russian soldiers & the least of them was their conscience.
Russian troops were inhumane.
Usually, Finns who were unexpectedly caught in front of the patrols were killed immediately.
Some of the inhabitants of the farms were shot for fun, some were tortured, so that the soldiers would find out about the hiding places of valuables.
No one who stayed at home was spared, not even small children or pregnant women. There were public killings.
Pregnant mothers were dragged behind horses & left on the side of the road for others to see.
Infants were left to starve or freeze to death.
Finns fled from the population centers of northern Ostrobothnia, Oulu and Raahe were completely deserted cities for 2 years after the Russians looted them.
29.9.1714, people who fled to the island of Hailuoto, near the city of Oulu, fell victim to the Russian Cossacks. More than 800 Finns died in the massacre during that night.
Russian cavalry was the most feared of the enemy forces and committed the worst atrocities.
