"It's just a feint".
"Tactical retreat, bro".
"If Russia really wanted they would get into Paris in a week".
"Russia is superpower number one".
"Russian military planned to lose thosands armored vehicles. 4D chess, man".
Russians are a tad late with that since less than 7% Finnish energy is produced with Russian gas and soon new 1600mw nuclear powerplant is on full production capacity and that alone produces more energy than what Russians gas does. Finland is getting most of it's foreign enery from Sweden and...
Nah, pro-Russians even in here Finland (both far-left and far-right nutters) scream how Russia will wipeout Europe with nuclear weapons because they themselves are shocked how bad Russian military is. Before this invasion it was thought that Russian military would invade Poland with ease, but...
If you look what kinda optics T-72B3 Obr 2016 has it's many ways better than standart T-90A.
Russia has around 350 T-90A's in service and have lost at least 20 in Ukraine.
Reality is that Russia has emptied it's garrisons near Finland and those units are right now getting mauled in Ukraine.
Whatever is left of those units won't be threatening Finland anytime soon.
I gathered from the comments that few thousands Ukrainian neo-nazis are giving a spanking for Russian military what is supposedly almost as powerful as United States. Interesting.
Hot air from Russia.
Do tell where do Russians get these soldiers to make Finland contested territory? Thei best soldiers are getting mauled in Ukraine and what they got left elsewhere is second rate.
1939 Winter War it was actually Soviet Union who was allied with Nazi-Germany. Germany even stopped Italian weapon shipments to Finland.

Joining defensive alliance is hurting Russia? Would suggest Russia is planning to invade Finland. We will regret this? Doub't it.
Russia is already planning to nuke Finland if there is a WW III so what kinda threat is that? It's like when Russians said stationing nuclear weapons in Kalingrad...
Russia doesn't attack NATO countries and seeing how their best forces performn in Ukraine it's become clear how poorly they'd do against NATO.
Also, can you guarantee that some Russian future leader or Putin wouldn't attempt to return pre-1917 borders...

All long time pro-NATO Finns like myself send their thanks to Mr. Putin
He did in few months what we couldn't do in decades.
