In Episode 170 [14] of the CounterVortex podcast [15], Bill Weinberg predicts that Russian propaganda weaponization of World War II history, now being employed against Ukraine [16], will next be used to target Finland. Now that Finland has been "de-Finlandized [17]," abandoning its Cold War neutrality to join NATO, its de facto wartime alliance with Nazi Germany is likely to be exploited by the Kremlin media machine—exactly as Israel exploits [18] the wartime pact between Hitler and the Mufti of Jerusalem. In a pre-emptive strike against such propaganda, Weinberg breaks down the history of Russian conquest [19] and colonization [20] of Finland, the heroic resistance [21] of the Finns in the Winter War [22] of 1939-40, and how their betrayal manipulated them into the Nazi camp in the Continuation War [23] of 1941-44.
