Lot of problems here.

First, even though you don’t come right out and say it, you’re obviously comparing Stalin to Zelensky. I think Zelensky who is apparently not the greatest, is hardly a Stalin who murdered tens of millions of Russian citizens. So yes, a false analogy.

Beyond the false analogy, nations are sovereign and generally not subject to invasion by another nation.

Third and given the above, I don’t see how anyone can justify Putin’s death and destruction upon millions of innocent Ukrainians.

It’s astonishing to me that people here at FR, where life, freedom, and just action are supposed to be the standard can support Putin’s unjustifiable bloody actions here.

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

I was not comparing Zelensky to Stalin in how bad I thought the were. I was allowing that like Stalin, Zelensky might be bad even though he was unfairly attacked.

The rest of your "problems" I think build on an misunderstanding you inserted into my point.
