Why don't Finland capture Karelia?

[Lemminkäinen]

I beg your pardon, Karelia is only a shit hole today. Our plan is to free the home land of all Uralic people in Siberia and it is already on the planning board. For now I say only that all Finno-Ugric will unite and Mr. Putin, being a great FU in his black heart, has been a part of the plan.

According to Kominstoravalta (spelling, his name sounds a tad like broken immigrant Swedish), Helsinki was largely colonized by Eastern Finnish settlers and its Finnish-speaking population should shift more toward the eastern cluster. Finland Proper, further west, has too had a lot of Karelian re-settlements in the past 100 years. Some Finns claim the notion that most of them are Western Finns, but the claim is sometimes challenged.

Politically, however, it seems that SW Finns like to challenge Swedes in PC and wokeness.

Southwest Finland is partly Karelian, it is true, but also partly West European. West Finns show several percentages more Atlantic admixture compared to Karelians. This means western admixture after the Iron Age.

I don't dispute that SW Finns plot closer to NW Europe. Just that the capital is and that most Finns are genetically SW Finnish to the core. Only Turku and Pori fall in there IMHO.

Yep, Karelia is a real hole today
