Did you know that Finland BTFO Russia so badly at Winter War that Putin still bends the knee to the president of Finland?

I thought that was only a meme, and the Russians actually killed a lot of Finns

They stole almost half of Finland too.

>Did you know that Finland BTFO Russia so badly at Winter War that Putin still bends the knee to the president of Finland?

That's not a bow. He just landed from orbit a microsecond before the picture was taken.

this i never really understood.

how do you win the war but lose half your country?

There are certain ceremonial approaches to forein dignitaries and Putin is very thoughtful about staying within customary appropriate shows of greeting.
It shows him as well educated and a wise leader. Not a despot as you wish.

soviets faced far heaviler losses but they managed to capture the areas in the pic (except hanko, which was ceded temporarily)

We didn't win
we just weren't completely annexed like they had planned.
Also didn't lose half of the country

It can hardly be considered half the country.

The reason the war is considered a Finnish victory is because the Soviet Union was a huge war-machine and Finland was isolated with very little ability to wage war against a nation with such advantage in industrial capacity and manpower. It would have been like the German Reich invading Belgium and only getting its border territory, or the USA invading Mexico and only getting a little area around the Rio Grande.

During german invasion they begged the finns to help them encircle leningrad. Finns refused and just held the lines of their retaken territory from winter war

thats why they got off light after it ended and are cool guys

What's up with the left and freeze framing a video to spread lies?

Wtf is Finland?

>implying OP didn't Photoshop the picture to hide what was truly happening

been looking for that pic for a long time OP, thanks...

>got off light
Well, aside from the Germans burning Lapland but yeah

That picture is fake.
Did you know that Winter war lasted only 3 mounts,and if Russia really wanted it could take Finland easy,but were NOT interested they had more important things to worry

Btw Finland was literally part of Russia just 2 decades before that.

Finland did not won.Russia just stop trying to annex you.

>more important things to worry
Describe

>conquering force stops trying to conquer you
>not a win

What would Germany do next

Such a bad picture. If x starts why would he put x in the middle. Doesnt make any sense at all.

Also that montenegro intellectual hahah

Go away Montenegro. You're shit and nobody likes you.

Soviet Union != Russia

Finns are fucking ugly mongrols who cares?!?!?!

Did he just punch his fist in to a solid slab?

Winter War is a pretty amazing piece of history, the anecdotes are really fascinating
That's why I have a lot of respect for you guys, fuck Sweden, they would have surrendered in the span of 24 hours if it were them

The slavniggers got their asses handed to them. They suffered massive losses and the war was a total embarrassment, which is why Stalin began his notorious purge in the red army. They invaded for full conquest and were forced to negotiate by the tiny Finns

When obummer did that all hell broke loose.

putin bows to the bogdanoffs.

Burger education strikes back again
