Oh yeah and new update pic.x.com/jgtektpfnb x.com/theeternalkrau… (⊹)

@the_stewie The actions of the government aren’t the same as the actions of individuals free of the government

As you can see in my source, one American Poll said that 90%+ of Americans said they would rather lose than enact civil rights

It was a state in the 30s still practicing eugenics

@nitrrogen__ They don’t need to directly demand it to the Finns for it to be a reality. The FDR was only dissolved after the war ended. It was a phyrric victory at best

@nitrrogen__ But they didn’t: They wouldn’t have gone out of their way to try and force out an annexation if it was just to hamstring Finland

@nitrrogen__ Finland wouldn’t have any incentive to ally with the Germans. Mannerheim was reluctant to risk a full war even in the current timeline and they were only really drawn into conflict because they wanted their older territories back

@nitrrogen__ They didn’t neuter or conquer Finland. They failed at the later and years later the Finns instead of remaining neutral decided to Invade the USSR with the Germans

@nitrrogen__ Regardless of whether it’s incompetent or not Finland didn’t have the ability to theoretically push the Soviets back forever if they engaged in a war

@nitrrogen__ But they didn’t ask for land exchanges or grabs, that was just world power behavior

@nitrrogen__ Demilitarizing your boarder and pulling the Russians closer to your more urbanized/industrial zones in favor of a bunch of rural areas useless to defend isn’t a good bet

@nitrrogen__ They weren’t actually demands. They were sham demands kept up to make the Finns more claustrophobic and for the invasion to be easier

@nitrrogen__ So their was an imperial incentive?

Finland didnt join into Russias sphere after the war either

@nitrrogen__ No they didn’t. They didn’t occupy Finland or put it into their sphere of infinite

@nitrrogen__ The Finns were also weak relative to the USSR and were much closer with France and Britain than with Germany aswell

@nitrrogen__ The Soviets had an incentive to take back what they viewed as old Tsarist lands (as in the Baltics) and the FDR encompassed all of the occupied territories and was meant to rule the Finns after the war which they were promised in the MR pact pic.twitter.com/Ej8u3BTbkZ

@nitrrogen__ They had no reason to and they didn’t pressure even more potentially dangerous actors (Persia, Turkey, etc)

@nitrrogen__ It did. They were securing strategic oil fields and adding a buffer to the future war with Germany to deprive them of resources.

+ old Russian land

@nitrrogen__ But there is no evidence that the Soviets would be or were content with just a boarder change, or why they would start a war over it in the first place and set up a government that was meant to rule all pf Finland if they won the war

@nitrrogen__ Because that was just a casus beli that held no weight amongst the Soviets. Why would they want to take a small boarder change to defend themselves against a neutral country with no ties with Germany

@nitrrogen__ Many historians agree with me and there is ample evidence to prove so

@nitrrogen__ x.com/theeternalkrau… (⊹)

@nitrrogen__ But their goal wasn’t to take a small bite out of Finland it was to annex Finland into the USSR. They achieved nothing of their goals from the war while Finland achieved all of its goals (surviving)

@nitrrogen__ It was merged after the Molotov Peace and the end of the war when Russia came out with none of their goals met

@nitrrogen__ Of your goal is to take all of a given territory and only take a fraction thats a phyrric victory. The war got too costly and Russia opted out

@nitrrogen__ Yeah and it was meant to govern Finland after the war in a hypothetical Soviet conquest of Finland

@nitrrogen__ It wasn’t the KFSSR

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_D…

@nitrrogen__ Not to the extent of sphere of influence post war. It was a friendly cohabitation

Given that they were adamant on taking back old land and had set up an SSR for Finland its pretty obvious what their intentions were

@nitrrogen__ Given how much they wanted a return of their old boarders they would have just used the ultimatum if accepted as a means to an end and an easier war. They would have came up with another casus beli

Also Finlandization was just a neutrality agreement, same with Austria

@nitrrogen__ Thats true but my point is that the Soviet ultimatums weren’t designed to be one off thinks they would have just used them as a means to further their goals of subjugation onto the countries they were granted to under MR

@nitrrogen__ The Baltics accepted the Soviets demands in a similar fashion and the Russians ended up just annexing their entire country

What makes you think the Soviets wouldn’t have an incentive to do the same? It was just a casus beli it would have made the invasion easier

@nitrrogen__ It was. The Soviets were just guaranteed Finland in their sphere, set up a SSR for Finland immediately after the war started that encompassed all the occupied territories and the Soviet government was adamant on reclaiming their lost Tsarist lands

@nitrrogen__ The goal was the complete annexation of Finland, which the USSR failed at

@nitrrogen__ The continuation war yeah but Russia failed all of its goals and aims in the Winter war

@ChickenSmith12 The Finns won against the Russians in the winter war and Russias defeat against Japan was so humiliating that it was the first time an East Asian power had defeated a European one since the Mongol Horde

@nitrrogen__ Yeah thats true I just dont think the USSR was a good economic force

@nitrrogen__ So whats your point because my argument was the USSR held back the Baltics potential growth

@nitrrogen__ You just said it stabilized. And it wasn’t EU benefits alone. They played a role especially in infrastructure but Market liberalization and economic integration was huge

Maybe but again a free approach to the Baltics over time would have been better instead of despotism

@nitrrogen__ No they grew even more pic.twitter.com/fxiAp4tyNt

@nitrrogen__ Yeah but that only temporarily hurt the economic growth of Eastern Europe. In the aftermath they experienced rapid growth

@nitrrogen__ In the short term yeah but in the long term no

@nitrrogen__ Thats a pretty big disparity especially considering how ruined France Britain Germany etc were by the war

You could make the argument that they would have been poorer without the USSR (kinda easy) but they would have been way better off in the hands of the West
