“Yeah I know Europe should have stopped Hitler when he went into the Suddeten Land and that was a prelude to his trying to gobble up all of west Europe.”
I keep hearing that “. In this case, Putin learned the lesson of Munich and the Sudetenland very well. He understands that the only way to stop an enemy that will not negotiate and his intent on spreading their tentacles everywhere is to have them hit a brick wall. NATO and the DC/London axis have an absolute goal of completely encircling Russia and then starting to chip away with their openly stated goal of breaking them up into several countries. They are well aware that DC and London have no intent to negotiate in good faith, and cannot be trusted. They really have no alternative except to physically stop them and their Uke Nazi proxy.
Russians will have to watch American TV.
