History repeats itself

Indeed...NATO encroachment in Eastern Europe over the past two decades now resembles the Nazi's encroachment of 1940/1941.

From the Russian point of view, defending their long borders in the west is a complicated matter.

Particularly since most of the population lives in the plain of European Russia.

There are no real mountains in much of the country, exposing it to chilly blasts from the Arctic and not in providing a real defensible barrier to foreign invasion.

So yes, history has compelled them to act accordingly.

The Poles and Czechs being free is an "encroachment"?

I think you are on the wrong web site. You need to go somewhere that matches your world view.

Countries join NATO for protection from Russian “encroachment”, for instance right now Russia is invading Ukraine, to move their troops right up to NATO’s borders.
