Well, better to become an American if you can Pekka. Nothing to be done about Karelia with politicians like that, a miltary buget that compares to that of the Keebler Elves, and a Russia that inherited the stuff left over from former greatness, though rusting.
Finland lacks the balls to prepare and launch a credible attack. You wouldn't have to win, just show up in a serious manner.

Lancer, Yeah, if nothing else works, I'll be crossing the borders with Jose and Pedro 
We wouldn't need to attack. We would just need to show that we mean business. EU is not going to help us, or UN for that matter.

World Championship, I thought?
You know, it's the tournament featuring all of the players from the crappy NHL teams that didn't make it into the playoffs...
No Markkinnen for you, Finns!

We'll settle this at the World Cup in September, when all best players are present. 
Oops, sorry. It will only take place in September 2004.

No they didn't; they lost the Winter War, even with the Nazis' help.
That's what we're discussing here.

Are you on crack?
They survived the the Red Army all on their lonesome. Not only that, they trounced their asses in many cases.
The Winter War was over by the time the Germans started rolling in '41. It did almost assure the Finns would join in the fun though.

Pekka, see? You already need reinforcement from your fellow Finns, and this is just a thread in this 2 bit OT, not war w/ the Rooskies!
Btw, if you need help w/ war with the Rooskies, I had some training in that regard. For a small retainer...

The Finns lost the war. They came out with less territory than they went in, and the peace was more on the Russians' terms than on theirs.
They gave Stalin a harder time than anybody had the right to expect, but the still lost.

Very well, we can stake Karelia on the result of the hockey game. But what will be your stake? In other words, what will you give us if you lose?

Right Frogger, and BNA never gave up land to the Yanks?
Face it, we don't have the corner on outstanding performance in the face of overwhelming odds.
In fact, I'd hand that to the Finns. We faced down muskets. They faced down tanks, and blew them up.

We ended the war on their territory. Not the other way around...
And yes, the Finns we're more ****ed than we were by the Russians' strength. But it's not as overwhelming as it seems. Remember that this is after the Stalinist purges and before he brought the officers who were still alive back into the service...

The Nazis did nothing during the Winter War.
And were it not for several regiments of British regulars, not to mention the Royal Navy, you and I would be saying hooo rah, go Bush!

Good to see that we can disagree and start a fight when it has nothing to do with us.
Reaffirms my faith in the future of hockey.
