Depends on how you define self-defense. Finland had two wars with Russia, the first, the winter war was self-defense in the strictest sense, we fought alone to protect our land, the second one was with the Germans to try and take back our land that we lost in the first war with Russia.Originally posted by 01RedDX
That's all it really was, their role in WWII was nothing like Japan's or Italy's, it's was for self-defense.
Well what I said was mostly facetious, but I see it as "friend of my enemy is my enemy." The only reason Finland fought the Germans was because the Russians were pushing the Wermacht back and the Fins were forced to make peace, under the threat of being conquered altogether (the only thing preventing this was the fact that the Soviets were so preoccupied with Germany, Finland wasn't really on their agenda). Finland ignored pleas from Britain and the U.S. to end ties with Germany, but they still didn't until their president was forced to resign.Originally posted by Hakkola
Nazi puppets? It was a common enemy, Finns wanted land back, and no jews were sent from Finland, and finland fought the germans after the second war with russia was lost. How exactly were the finns puppets? "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Finland was key for the Nazi's in their quest to conquer Murmansk in the early stages of Barbarossa, had it been successful, no Allied provisions or equipment would have made it through and WWII could have had a very different result (ALL BECAUSE OF FINLAND )
Of course Finland would not listen to U.S and Britain, they didn't send any military help during the war. What possible motivation would Finland have to listen?Originally posted by kertejud2

Your other arguments are pretty good though, except that the Russians did attempt to take over Finland in the Winter War, and they did in fact put an enormous amount of effort into it. If Finland was not on the agenda then Finland would have remained untouched like Sweden.
Maybe the war could have ended differently, but the Finns didn't care about anything except for Finland, and Russia was a much greater threat than anybody else.

Persian women are also very attractive. We should rescue every Iranian woman from that oppressive regime as we can.
Fine by me so long as they contribute not drain from society
