Guess it depends on what the meaning of "we" is.
The French army at the time was sizable and well equipped.
And the English navy was second to none.
You're kidding me right?
I’m not too sold on the 1938/Hitler analogy myself.
Plus, were a new Cold War dichotomy to arise, I don’t necessarily see America holding the same moral authority. With American government devolving into a rather lawless, third-world statism, and American culture descending into a mix of socialism, dope, homosex and all-around depravity, it makes for a somewhat different dynamic.
That is correct.
HEY OBAMA....
The 1980’s called, they ask if you want their foreign policy back, and that you are on the wrong side of history!
WWII was a product of WWI. Germany was divided up in pieces, forced to pay heavy reparations that finished sometime in the 2000s. The stock market crash in 1929 forced super hyper inflation on Germany. 1 deutsch mark was virtually worthless. WWI was fought over Lebensrum in part.
Hitler was a fascist through and through. He was a parasite whom lived off the failures and fostered on Germany the greatest fraud. He promised the 1000 year reich. a superior race. killed off political enemies, mentally deformed, developmentally disabled, feeble elderly, gypsies, jews, homosexuals and christian pastors. In the end the third reich did not last long.
Hitler took back German Lands over German Nationalism that was started as early as 1808.
Putin is only taking back the parts of Russia that were annexed as a a part of WWII, and when perostroika came to fruition, these nation states were granted independence. Look at Western Europe,deep in debt, homosexuality is rampant, the christian church is dead, nation states are in economic decline. So Putin desires a buffer between Western Europe and the Russian motherland. Russia will probably isolate itself from Western Europe but will make inroads into the instability of the Middle East. Its partnership with iran and Syria will come to fruitition. it will com to these countries aid, but its motive - dominance in the middle east.
‘Child care’ actually means child neglect.
Touché!
Peter Hitchens is the good Hitchens.
The article is excuse making for the Russians, because he lived there and likes them.
Russia has “good reason” to fear being surrounded?
We all don’t like being “surrounded” that does not mean you invade your neighbors. Ukraine was no threat to Russia, Putin is grabbing at least parts of it to feather his own nest.
I hardly think you need to invade a country to prevent it from entering into trade deals with Western Europe.

Peter Hitchens is a very strange person with some very odd views. He believes that Britain and France should not have gone to war with Hitler over Poland; that Hitler had no designs on Britain, and that Britain could have come to terms with Hitler following the invasion of Poland. He takes a cynical view of the U.S. relationship with Britain and believes that the U.S. government took advantage of World War II deliberately to weaken Britain. A reformed Trotskyite, he nevertheless continues to view the world through a fog of emotion and second-guessing of historical events. He styles himself a conservative, but of course that’s only in a European sense; amongst American conservatives he’d be considered fairly wish-washy.
I’d love to see him make McCain explode.
total BS.
When things get slow flog the past extrapolated into a bogus future
