Finland enjoyed the protection of the American nuclear deturance, which we paid for, before & now that you've finally joined NATO! This is why the Soviet's didn't take all of Finland with their millions of troops & superior military. You'd be speaking Russian without US. FACT. 🤡

They never heard about the deadliest sniper in human history. A guy called Simo Häyhä. Spoiler, that guy is not an US-American.
The last time Russia tried to take Finland by force it didn't work well for Russia.

Actually at the end Finland still lost and had to give away some territory to the USSR.

Actually, Russia showed that they are not able to steamroll Finland. They lost some land but that is not comparable to being part of Russia instead of an independant country.

Yeah and back then during the Continuation War the US even was supporting the USSR, and still they couldn't annex Finland. (Even if we had to pay some reparations and were quite conciliatory and mindful of them until their dissolution)

Oh right and the war also ended before the nukes were even used on Japan, so that time hardly was thanks to the US' nuclear deterrence.
