1) Russia today is not Nazi Germany, not even close. Britain is a near-fascist state itself in 2024, not the heroic Albion of 1940.

2) Russia poses no threat to British allies as Germany did in 1940. Russia wants parts of Ukraine, nothing more. Ukraine is not a British ally, it’s not even part of the West.

3) Had Britain not fought Germany, peace may have been obtained. Though Europe would be under German rule. The Holcaust of course would have been unstoppable BUT Russia is not commiting anything remotely close.

The comparison just doesn’t stand scrutiny. And there was zero chance then of a nuclear holcaust.

OK, so it's more like the Soviet Union of 1940.

2) Russia poses no threat to British allies as Germany did in 1940.

So the Baltic nations of Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia, all NATO members, are not allies of NATO member Great Britain?

Russia wants parts of Ukraine, nothing more.

Just like Hitler wanted Austria and the Sudetenland and Stalin wanted Poland and the Baltics and Balkans?

Ukraine is not a British ally, it’s not even part of the West.

Think so?

Flashback to May 15, 2008: President Yushchenko and Prime Minister Brown sign a Joint Statement

3) Had Britain not fought Germany, peace may have been obtained.

Oh, do tell? Please explain how that would have happened?

Though Europe would be under German rule.

And you would be A-OK with that, I presume.

The Holcaust of course would have been unstoppable...

Oh really? You actually believe that?

BUT Russia is not committing anything remotely close.

Nah, just leveling countless towns and cities and slaughtering thousands of Ukrainian civilians.

The comparison just doesn’t stand scrutiny.

Riggght...
