1. Exactly my point. Perhaps today is 1933, in terms of preparation.

2. The Soviets were not napping. Stalin knew they were coming. He chose to do nothing.

Both sides were preparing for war. Some argue they were ready to invade Germany when Hitler moved first.

3. I don’t believe Germany is going to invade Russia either. I was simply replying to the poster who wrote that Germany doesn’t have the military to invade. They didn’t in 1933 either, probably not in 1936. By 1941 they did, but they bit off more than they could chew even then.

If you are interested in this stuff and haven’t heard already - the Finns made a secret recording of Hitler and Mannerheim meeting. That gives some insight on why the Germans attacked when they did.
