EDIT: I mistyped: Well in the sense that Hitler attacked Stalin and Stalin was at fault, yes. That comparison fits.

Meant to say that Hitler was at fault.

The point of this discussion is whether Putin is justified in invading the Ukraine without provocation and killing and destroying millions of innocent lives and destroying much of the country.

This astonishing contingent in FR including yourself that seems to support his invasion has yet to offer a coherent rationale for that support.

Well that might be the point of the private discussion you are having with strawmen in your head. In the real world on planet Earth the rest of us are making a different point and nobody is trying to justify that.

The issue my fine furry FRiend is the justification of Putin's invasion.

My initial comment was, What is this? Sounds like nonsense. Sounds like this article saying there’s nothing wrong with Putin’s unjust and unprovoked invasion of the Ukraine and the brutality millions of its people.

Your analogy is flawed and irrelevant.

Do you support Putin's invasion or not?

Do you support Putin's invasion or not?

Of course not. Nor does the article which calls the invasion a human tragedy.

OK, well, that’s why I asked the question in my initial comment. It sure sounds to me like the article is using some kind of historical precedent to make it seem like Putin’s attack was OK.
