en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War >in 1939 the soviet union invaded Finland, claiming sovereignty over the border regions while planning to install a communist puppet regime >despite having vastly more men and equipment the Red Army had gone decades without real battle experience and replaced its leadership in Stalin's purges >the invasion was a total disaster for the Red Army with slow advance and massive casualties, they inevitably forced Finland to surrender due to the massive power asymmetry but with 5x the total casualties
and the important detail that gets left out of the wiki article
>after the purging of the weak and ineffective military in the high-casualty conflict the Soviet Union was able to hold off against the Nazi invasion when the real conflict started a couple years later, ultimately winning WW2 and taking over half of Europe
Is Ukraine another Winter War type situation? That is, Russia rushes their rusty and inefficient military into a costly conflict, takes huge losses but still seizes border regions - then, in a couple years when the real conflict of WW3 breaks out and China invades Taiwan, they have a strengthened, battle-tested military to hold off NATO and project power into Europe
Do you know, that in Russia, they think they won winter war?

It's not winter.

But they did

>Soviets have more casualties than the Finnish Army had men
I am of laugh
Robert Myers
Most likely yes. It's unlikely that Russia will militarily break the Ukraine and it's also unlikely that Ukraine will get all of it'S territory back, so the end result will likely be similar to the winter war. Moderate territorial gains for Russia bought with heavy losses.

No. Ukrainians are faggots and they deserve to die.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_Democratic_Republic >The Finnish Democratic Republic was established by Joseph Stalin upon outbreak of the Winter War and headed by Otto Wille Kuusinen to govern Finland after Soviet conquest.[1][2][3][4] The Finnish Democratic Republic was only recognised by the Soviet Union and nominally operated in Soviet-occupied areas of Finnish Karelia from the de facto capital of Terijoki. The Finnish Democratic Republic was portrayed by the Soviet Union as the official socialist government of Finland capable of restoring peace, but lost favor as the Soviets sought rapprochement with the Finnish Government. The Finnish Democratic Republic was dissolved upon signing of the Moscow Peace Treaty ending the Winter War and merged into the government of the Karelo-Finnish SSR.

Everybody fights HARD against Russians, Finns, Krauts, Afghans, Chechens, Ukies....
Stalin, the Georgian, sent the Ukrainians in first, in summer gear, telling them they'd be greeted as liberators, and they should be careful not to enter Sweden or Norway by accident

Are there really that many Ukrainian males willing to die like dogs for a country that considers them subhuman trash while women are allowed to flee, have children with men from other countries and grow old? >My country thinks I'm inferior to animals! My country thinks my father, my brother and my son are inferior to animals! I would die for my country!
Jonathan Barnes
we need to increase both rate and volume of aid to Ukraine to minimize their casualties and break Russias back youtube.com/watch?v=fLi1u5CYwVo&t=15

Imagine the US doing the same with spics and niggers, BASED
Andrew Sanders
there is a good chance the Russians will do Putin in themselves, criminals are greedy and self-preserving, not suicidal to die for mistakes of a weak failure of a man like Putin

>we You decide nothing here, Pekka. Your globohomo goverment do. And even if you send all your shit to ukries, this is still won't help much. They lose at 24 Feb already and they never recover from it, unable to replentsh their forces both in machines and trained experienced men.
Logan Robinson
Yes, Russian military gained crucial experience in this conflict and uncovered its weak spots, but the the big problem of Ukrainian war was not in military. It was political, Putin gave them retarded orders that left units exposed and exhausted in enemy territory. The moment they switched into phase 2, things are going fairly well actually. Slow but at very low costs, with high enemy casulties.
Eli Hernandez
well, if my side doesn't follow the strongest plan with maximum amount of force they all deserve to be eaten alive by the Posleen anyways
