However, in this case, comparisons to Hitler are apt for the reasons given.
What reasons? Because after years and years if failure to implement Minsk the Russians finally tried to show they meant business? Only, under US pressure, Zelensky still refused to negotiate? That was Putin’s biggest mistake. Thinking his undersized “special operation” would get a peace deal the Russians could live with.
Maybe after Iraq, former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq again, Libya, Syria, etc., we are more like Hitler — if you judge every country that takes military action against other countries as a Hitler, then we look more Hitlerish than any other lately, no? Of course we always claim the ones we’re bombing are Hitlers. Getting old.
