Jopo1980 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Finland. I am proud of our armed forces and the heroes who fought in WW-2, they gave the mighty Red Army a bloody nose and made them pay dearly for the land they stole. Although most Finns are cool about the history, I am not and I will adhere to my grandfathers teachings "Never trust a Russian". For Finland the enemy always comes from the east. Is Russophobia banned on these forums, by the way? There are other things and achievements to be proud of as a Finn, but it would make a long list.

Yes, Finns showed that they are capable and good fighters by repelling the Red Army in Talvisota, strong, loyal, protective and disciplined. All thanks to Mannerheim, he was a great commander, though, everything he knew, he learned in Russia in his younger days.. His defending line was impressive indeed, a bit exaggerated in his words and the words of the press back in the day, but an impressive counter strategy and tactics using little resources, nonetheless. And thanks to Voroshilov's incapability, you could vow all those victories in the first half of the war. But Voroshilov was replaced. And Mannerheim line was crushed. And you lost it, eventually. And you lost along with your nazi allies at the gates of Stalingrad. That's war. We all pick different sides and we all have different opinions, which is quite natural for us humans. We can't change the history, we can't erase what happened in the past... But we can change ourselves. 'Forgive, but don't forget' . That's better then 'Never trust a russian', if you agree. Enemies are everywhere, by the way, from all directions, it depends of your own position and an interest of your enemy. It's not closely tied with a nationality, trust me on that. Be proud of your heroes, they deserve it. But never take pride up and high too much, it tends to become hate sometimes. Greetings from a half serbian/half russian guy. Stay cool, Moranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
