At the turn of the century (1900) the Ottoman Empire was "the sick man of Europe".
By the 1930s, the new "sick men" were London and Paris, desperately trying to hold on to empires, long after the days of "empires" were over.
It was a bed they made for themselves at Versailles, and in 1939 they had to sleep in it.
In 1919 there were 2 who were not invited, and in 1939 there were 2 (note, two, not one) who challenged "the system" set up at Versailles...
Stalin gave Hitler a "blank cheque" to invade Poland.

And there was another world war.
See what happens if you make decisions concerning others, without consulting them? And so, another round of "as they sowed, so shall they reap"...

The Atlanticists' strategists and world views, far away from the divisions they foster and pay for by proxy, the constant crises they instigate, the cold wars they lay the foundation for, or the hot wars they avoid avoiding (double negative); and whose navies give them access to the world's resources (incl. "human resources") have always wanted long wars, if there was prospect of systemic gains using a geographical advantage (distance from warring states) or if there was any danger of unity formatting in Europe/Eurasia.
The marching route of the empire, which started when the USSR economically faltered in the late-1980s with "carved-up Yugoslavia" being the first victim of divide-and-rule.
Systemic/ideological expansion into:
- Eastern Europe.
- Black Sea/Balkans/Caucasus Region (southern pincer of the marching route)
- Scandinavia/Baltic Sea Region (northern pincer of the marching route)
Keep on marching, marching, and when there is a reaction or resistance, start "pointing fingers" (narrative control). This type of imperialist behaviour as evident by Washington DC, and their subservient "collective West/NATO", did not only start after WW2.
