WI Stalin went for round two, Finland delenda est, in summer 1940 while Germany and the western allies are busy with the battle of France.
Other than a Communist Finland, what are the consequences?
Are the Swedes more likely to get drawn into the war once Barbarossa starts? If so, what is Sweden's situation at the end of the war?
Will the swallowing of Finland mean no western lend-lease for the USSR?
Even if Sweden holds its neutrality, does a Soviet occupied Finland for the duration of WWII make it likely that Norway is broken into Communist and noncommunist states, or Norway and the Sami Soviet Republic or Democratic Republic of Finnmark? Or is the result a regulated neutrality for Norway, akin to either OTL's Austrian State Treaty or "Finlandization"?
