I really did not want to get involved as well, but Finland (together
with Germany) also participated in the horrific Siege of Leningrad which
lead to immeasurable suffering of its population:

This is something that many modern Russians living in Saint-Petersburg
(ex-Leningrad) can relate to. Am I going to blame Linus or the Finnish
nation for that? Of course not! Because I am not an idiot or a racist.
And I can use something that Linus has mentioned previously - brains.
Can you please do the same, Linus?

This really turned ugly, please stop trying to use history as your moral
compass. Also, if you'd like to place a collective guilt on the whole
group of people for past or present wrongdoings I would like to quote
the words of famous Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl:
"Collective guilt does not exist":
