An update, 20 Nov 2025: In 1993, even a KGB general admitted that the interpretation I explained above is by and large correct. bsky.app/profile/jmko...
(Incidentally, I also found a fricking KGB general admitting in 1993 that Winter War had been a major mistake, that it and Soviet threats after the war were why Finland sided with Nazis in 1941, and that without Winter War, Finland would've likely stayed neutral.)

A short thread about #Finland in the Second World War with a lesson from history: why solidarity matters, and it's imperative for #democracy that democracies help threatened democracies.
As many people know, Finland was a de facto Nazi ally in the Second World War. But why? 1/

Greetings again from a Finnish leftist, especially to everyone identifying as progressive or leftist but living far away from Russia at the moment! I'll try to explain a bit how it feels like to live in a country neighboring Russia, and why we seem to disagree about e.g. NATO.1/

Greetings from a Finnish leftist! The international situation has apparently left many people in the English-speaking countries confused. I write this thread in the hopes of sharing a perspective I believe is widely if not unilaterally shared in Finland, most leftists included.

And now it seems that the lords of the Kremlin are prone to making catastrophic misjudgements about the will and capability of small countries to defend themselves alone.
No one can guarantee they won't be making the same mistake with Finland some day in the future. 34/

Depending on the overall global situation and the strategic warning time, we might require resupply of critical munitions within weeks, and replacements for equipment losses soon after that.
That is one reason we are almost certainly going to join NATO now. 32/

After all, we know that we cannot win a protracted war against the most likely opponent. The Finnish defenders would cause any invader horrendous casualties for several weeks or perhaps months, but if casualties aren't a concern, overwhelming numbers would eventually wear us down. 31/

Suomen turvallisuuden kannalta olen tällä hetkellä eniten huolissani siitä, että oikeiston poliitikoilla ja kannattajilla näyttää olevan kultakalan muisti.
Edes Kokoomuksen kannattajista enemmistö ei kannattanut NATO-jäsenyyttä mitenkään säännöllisesti ennen vuotta 2014.

The one where I explain why the West should've been making preparations for a #military intervention in #Ukraine , even if we weren't actually going to intervene.
Because it would've helped to force the Kremlin to real negotiations.

How the Western aid to #Ukraine helps even outside the battlefield, and why the West should begin credible preparations to intervene directly?
Finland's Winter War (1939-40) provides an interesting historical case study of a somewhat comparable situation. Let's take a look! 1/

The one from Feb 2023, where I outline what really killed #nuclear power in the 80s: economics + the deregulation of #electricity markets. NOT "regulation" or "the greens."

Let me be very clear about this:
The environmentalists were NOT the reason #nuclear power stalled in the 1980s.
There is absolutely no support for a theory, popular in some circles, that we could've been fossil free "if not for the Greens." 1/
