I don't like whataboutism. It's a poor method of discussing subjects.

Personally I can admit that the white terror was a massacre, and the excecution of Viipuri's Russian population 100% ethnic cleansing. Finland was allied with nazi Germany in WWII.

The independence was declared in the legal Parliament of Finland, and as the Duma didn't have any jurisdiction in Finland it was as legal as legal can be.

Yapping little mutts should be careful about whoms boots they lick. You got off lucky in '44 - '45.

This to me is a good indicator of just how well the American middle class is doing. I have a friend who recently bought a house (actually he financed it for 30 years, in reality 30 years of servitude) after much trial and tribulation he got it on his 5th attempt. All others he had been interested in were either paid for in cash outright by someone or he was outbid. Here's the reason why.

Average Americans are fast being driven into the gutter.

It certainly seems to be the case. It's what drives Russians in all aspects of their lives and over there it works to Russians advantage. In the case of my second wife that style did not work here. In America you cannot live in the moment.

Xaxaxa. The Karelian front was the only one during Bagration where the Soviets hit a wall and failed to reach any of their objectives. Two divisions, 176. and 289. reached Ilomantsi, 35 km within the Finnish border, and that was the most far that any Soviet unit reached Finland. And those divisions were decimated too.

Finns must be clever and shouldn't side with anyone frankly.

Russia and Israel have been in near-combat for months now, over the Syrian skies. Of course it's "Israel's fault" just like it was "Turkey's fault" just like it was "Ukraine's fault", "U.S. fault", "EU fault" etc. Russia plays aggressor and then warms up the propaganda machine to placate the domestic masses.

They need to distract the public from the dying economy.
Please give links to sources.

+ I'll teach you. When a ruler wants to distract people from problems in economy, he said about a near-combat. In this case, the near-combat were hidden from Russians (Russian news and aggregators of foreign press did not give information about it). Perhaps this is the result of your propaganda. For example, it can be made to justify the Netanyahu's visit to Russia. To show that he visit not with good intentions, but for the negative talk.

And sometimes they violate our airspace just to test our defences. I understand why, but it's still illegal and is a clear provocation.
NATO works in a similar manner. The Russian Defense Ministry has repeatedly stated that the RC-135 fly with transponders turned off.

"There exist two solutions to avoid being intercepted by Russian jets, “either to stop flying near our borders, or do so with transponder turned on,” Konashenkov said, stressing that a similar RC-135 aircraft flew over Russia today as part of the Open Sky program and “nobody scrambled jets to identify it.”"

Why not? But I recommend to think in advance the route to visit interesting places.
