It's fine, they didn't need usable land or all their limbs anyway
Hey, Finns got experience dealing with (stepping in) land mines in the only war they won - the Lapland War! Have not heard of it? Of course not, they fought it against the Nazis (because the Soviet Union made them)!
Does the Winter War not count as a Finnish victory?
they lost that one. how would it count as a victory?
No? They lost territory and their second biggest city at the time and the Mannerheim line was disassembled. Yeah, the Soviet Union did not take over the whole country, but that was not their goal, securing the area around Leningrad was.
Looked it up, apparently I was missinformed about the outcome of that war.
Makes sense sadly
exactly what one would expect a country rocking the swastika until 2020 to do
I’m Canadian and I think we should leave the treaty too.
Unless trump is a liar, they’re coming for us
You want to leave large swaths of our own land uninhabitable without lengthy and expensive cleanup that, even after "cleaned up" can still maim and kill people decades after the last shot is fired?
Landmines just straight up suck
Agreed. Start mining the border.
