My shower thought this morning, happy as they often are these days, is that the comparison between Hitler and Putin is accurate in one other, significant way: Hitler's rise and relevance was in a large part a reaction to the humiliation and vindictive response in of the winning parties (well, France wanting to get the boot in) in the Treaty of Versailles.
American learned deeply from this after WW2, so we had the Marshall plan and Germany became an ally, part of the family.
Somewhere along the line, The West appears to have forgot this lesson, and so upon 'defeating' one of the most powerful forces this world has ever known, instead of embracing and welcoming Russia, a small clique of American-educated and promoted moneycunts brought about the rape of the wealth of Russia for decades, and so here we are.
Obviously Putin's got sucked up in it all, and become that which I think he once genuinely loeathed, and here we are.

- The world has brought Russia "into it" by creating pipelines and doing much more business with them. NASA shares a space station. Putin wants his past.ShenanigansTV
- All thru covid i've thought the inevitable war would be versus China.********

- and went into Afghanistan / Iraq without discussing at all?Fax_Benson
- Yeah in a world where Russia isn't a top-to-bottom corrupt country where people live in desperation and their leaders to everything to blame "outside forces"********
- this could be something to think about.
You don't know that relief people had when the union broke up, and rassa haven't moved forward, just went deeper******** - corruption and repression.********
