Perhaps you should read a few articles about the run up to WWII. Think to yourself, about how attempts to appease dictators lead to a terrible world war. Compare Hitler and Putin.
Taking a break from defending that vax tyranny?

I’ve read a lot about those years. A lot. And you raise an important point. Lack of restraint led to WW1. Too much restraint (appeasement, actually) led to WW2.
As to Putin, how should he be seen? I have mentioned many times here that I consider Putin to be a war criminal. He started a war when no war was necessary. But is Putin another Hitler? I think not. He’s more like Kaiser Wilhelm II, egoistical and opportunistic. Quick to see insults, both real and imaged.
But he’s not Hitler. Treating him that way is an error.
