So how’d that work out for Germany?
I’d say it was part of a chain of events that eventually led to the Bolshevik revolution in Russia and also to Hitler in Germany. Woodrow Wilson poked the bear by sending arms to Europe. Germany responded. That led to US involvement in WWI which was a massive mistake for western civilization. Europe would have been far better off if Germany had won WWI and the Bolshevik revolution has been crushed and Hitler had never had any reason to rise in politics.
This little Ukraine conflict seems likely to lead to a massively destructive, perhaps nuclear war in the near future. I see strong echoes of WWI in what is going on right now. Cheering for Ukraine? The world really would be much better off if Putin won.
