FLOTSOM
Well, gee. Who would have thought that at my advanced age I'd actually be in the position of schooling young euro fanboi's on their own history. I should be paid for this..
While you JUST went digging for info on the Finn's a little while ago, I learned about Scandinavian history from a fella happens to be Finnish. He fought in the Winter War, the Continuation War and the Lapland War.. where the Finns kicked the Germans out of Northern Finland and back into.. guess where? Norway. While I most certainly did not think a lot of the guys politics (he was a socialist) he got my attention due to his hatred of Russians. As for the 'pacifists' (what he called swedes and norwegians) he had little regard. He was a credit to his nation, and understood that freedom was something worth fighting for.
Oh.. and just in case you missed it (because you obviously did) eyeball the quote below. From yesterday. From me. About Finland.
The Finns were invaded by the Russians... and resisted fiercely. They were forced to cede territory.. but never suffered occupation, never capitulated and did in fact declare war on Germany. Finlands interest in the war was Finland.. and it defended itself and it's sovereignty effectively.
The Republic of Finland was attacked by the USSR on 30 November 1939.[8] Later Finland and the Kingdom of Denmark officially joined the Axis Anti-Comintern Pact. The Kingdom of Sweden remained officially neutral. Following the Moscow armistice of September 1944, Finland effectively joined the Allies and expelled German forces. This led to a series of armed clashes called the Lapland War.
Also, see 'Winter War'. Learn. Be amazed. And what's with the childish petulant insults, Rich? That all you got?
Imagine that. Yup. It's me... from yesterday. The ignorant american you presume to teach history too.. yup, that's right; the one that gives other americans a 'bad name'.
Why? Because we speak the truth? And you revisionist euro fanboi's can't stand the stench of your own groveling past; can't stand the idea that somebody else had to end your disgusting wars twice and fund the rebuilding of your bombed out cities and devastated economies. Well.. all except for Finland, who paid a much higher price after the war than any of her neighbors for defying the the Russians
and the Germans.. and standing on her own.
Oh, BTW, and once again; "Your Welcome".
Class dismissed.
