As I understand things after being attacked by the Soviets in the Winter War but generally managing to fight them to a stand-still and respectable conclusion the Finns later allied with Germany after the invasion of Norway and Battle of France since the French and British were no longer viable allies against the perceived continuing Soviet threat. What happens if for the sake of this discussion the German invasion of Norway had turned into a disaster with their suffering major naval losses and the ground troops being captured or mostly escaping via Sweden so that the Norwegians are a member of the Allies but France still falling as in our timeline? This gives them a small stretch of coastline in the north but also now a decent land border with Norway. If they're able to import supplies from the Allies and neutral third party states say via Sweden do people think that would be enough for Finland to decide that armed neutrality is the best course rather than throwing their lot in with Germany and the invasion of the USSR?
