It was a reference to WWII, he is not invading Poland. He HAS taken Chechnya, half of Georgia, Crimea, and is creeping up on East Ukraine. The point is that we have an aggressive dictator that needs to be stopped.

"He has taken ... half of Georgia"
Do you ever look at a geographical map? South Ossetia declared independence from Georgia in 1990, as the Republic of South Ossetia. The Georgian government responded by abolishing South Ossetia's autonomy and trying to re-establish its control over the region by force.
As for Chechenya, it is part of Russia since ... the Caucasian War; it was first incorporated as a whole into the Russian Empire in 1859.
Crimea was part of the Russian Empire since ... the Russia-Ottomans war, 1774.

Are we talking about Obama or Putin?
