Indeed be VERY afraid.
Hahahaha
You're comparing the weakest force in the europe to a liberal country.
Strength of 1,500,000 Soviet soldiers is nothing as their overall field performance and officers were complete shit. Not to mention Stalin's purge.

That "Weakest Force" still beat the Germans back to Berlin. (Yes yes The Allied on the western front bladiblah.) And you know Finland really didn't have good equipment during the Winter war (Like stuff we took from the Soviets and a bit we got from countries like sweden. Also our training wasn't exactly top notch). The Soviets just weren't ready for the difficult terrain.
that still doesn't change the fact that soviet union couldn't beat a poor ass country that uses 19th century equipment and Wehrmacht was pushed back thanks to the winter and hitler's expectations of getting moscow in august. also western front.

Still the fact that Finland remained Independent when say Poland and the Wehrmacht fell to the Soviets is pretty amazing.
Also fun fact: During the continuation war the Brits declared war on Finland.

Maybe get attacked from both sides by two countries with superior numbers and in good weather and we'll hear your story after that.

Didn't intend to insult Poland or anything. Also superior numbers. Check. Good weather. Check. (During the Continuation war that is)
Well this post is one day late but I agree as a patriotic Finn. It's good to see the finnish film (The Unknown Soldier) about winter war once more, I've watched it so many times now.

Thing was that Russians charged blindly into terrain to only be gunned down.

*Walks around and steps on a mine*
Its called mines, if Russians blindly charge in they are bound to hit a mine.

Not like we had huge stocks of mines around let alone ones that could do shit to a tank. We had bottles of flammable liquid and thats like 90% our Anti Tank capabilities
