The difference here is that this is not 1939.
“The difference here is that this is not 1939.”
One HUGE difference is that Russia isn’t pushing an ideology that claims to represent all the people, as it was during the Cold War, and as Nazi Germany did.
A second difference is that Russia doesn’t need slave labor these days as they have MACHINES that can do far more work, with less hassle. Back then both Germany and Russia needed slaves.
Again, the operatives know all that, they just use 1939 because they have nothing better to base their hatred on.
