Finland was one of the front lines of the Russian revolution, and the whites used finland as a base of monarchist assaults and intrigues against the world's first socialist state.
The finnish communists then unfortunately lost their civil war, the finns then killed all their communists and made the communist party illegal, and became one of the fascist / reactionary powers in the 30s like nazi germany.
Territorial disputes between the whites and reds escalated during the 30s leading to the winter wars, which finland lost, then ww2, which finland also lost.
You are again siding with the reactionary side of history.
So Finland was a legitimate target because 20 years prior they were a jumping off point for the losing side of a civil war? Is that the gist?
It was actually precipitated by the Soviet's demand that the Fins cede territory that kicked off the war.
You are siding with the imperialists here.
