This is not an personal attack or an attack against Finland, its just the way it is. I didnt make up the rules. Countries which are not strong enough, are conquered. Simple as cake. Finland resisted thats why it is now still an independent country. Not because it enjoys an immunity as a "small democratic country". Should Sweden or Russia make a move on Finland again and succeed, well. bad luck. But it has nothing to do with any particular leader. Just business. Stalin didnt attack Finland becasue he wanted to murder all finns.(hint). He saw an opportunity, thats all. Just like in Civ4."Just about everyone attacks neighbors for land, especially small ones, noone cares about"
->I'm very sorry on being born to a small country no-one cares about. Quite a few did actually in 1939 though.
What does it have to do with Stalin being a leader. And why do you think they were send to Siberia to die, and not to work. Because thats what they did. They worked. Just like other prisoners in other countries for whatever reasons. Either that or slaves.Or the countless ones Stalin sent to Siberia to die who were not as lucky as Nelson boy&his family?
Please elaborate here. Stalin killed whom exactly, what reason, which circumstances, and what did these people did not choose. Even the worst kind, germans living in Russia, were merely relocated during WW2. Americans did the same with japanese. Jews and other "inferior races" in Germany, and around it, were handeled slightly different. So you were saying?He did EXACTLY what Hitler did, killing people exactly for the reason for being born to circumstances they did not choose.
I feel the pain, but it wasnt me who brought famines as an argument for genocide. It sounds ridiculous i agree. But why addressing me. Shouldnt you blame those, who stop at nothing in putting some dirt(deserved, but it is still not an excuse) at someone, using even such examples and manipulating death numbers like there is no tomorrow. Like for example 35 mln starved to death, and another 35mln send to "die in Siberia". Oh the irony."The Finnish famine of 1866–1868 killed 15 percent of the population - a deed by Stalin"
-> laughing & mocking on these kinds of this is nothing more than sad.
Well, so far this specific thread is just about ontopic, which is "Stalin and Civ4". And i dare even to say we made quite an progress. I hope.I understand the OP that the question RELATES to the game, but still, this forum should be about, the game.
I didnt say anything about Finland being small, unimportant or any other adjective. (or about any other particular country)Yes I do feel offended on your comments that say f*off to everything my tiny sorry-ass country has ever stood for
