Who cares if Hitler annexes the Sudetenland. “Peace in our time,” right Ron?
Why would a fool want to start a winter campaign in that region? Hitler and Bonaparte both had their asses added to them by Russia (USSR). It’s not our fight. The Ukraine is not part of NATO.
How many trillions are you pushing we borrow today to fund your neocon wet dreams? How many young American boys are you willing to kill and mutilate this time in another unwinnable conflict? How many decades are you insisting we remain in Ukraine? What is your vision of stopping Russia? B-52s over Russian staging areas? F-35s blinding Russian command and control? Swarms of A-10s over Russian armor? Would your next move be Desert Shield 2.0 or the waving of magic wands?
It’s a good analogy but it proves the opposite to the point I think you are making. We cared (not enough) when Hitler annexed the Sudentenland because (1) we should have known it was an immediate precursor to a full scale invasion and (2) it was a test to see how the world would respond in anticipation of full scale war. If all Hitler really wanted was the Sudentenland then yes it didn’t really matter that much. Crimea was annexed by Putin years ago. So far he’s shown that’s all he wants territorially and it was a precursor to nothing. This would be like if Hitler actually did stop after Peace in Our Time and now England and Czechoslovakia wanted to start a war to get it back.
Freeze and or seize all of the overseas assets of the Russian Oligarchs and this will end quickly. Putin serves at the whims of the oligarchs, who really run Russia.
