just like the Finns in 1940
By simply repeating bullshit, you don't cause it to become true.
In 1939 Soviet Union sought to at least cause a complete regime change in Finland (if not annex it completely into the Union, like they did with Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia), and had a prepared cabinet for the job, headed by a Finnish communist Otto Wilhelm Kuusinen. However in 1940, when the peace was signed, Otto became merely a chairman of a newly created Karelo-Finnish SSR. Now, a big brain question is: what happened between these two situations? Ah yes, the war that did not go as smoothly as the Soviets predicted.
Kind of reminds me of the Ukrainian war, in which Russians keep lowering their conditions for victory - in order to have some victory at all.
