What has 1933 got to do with 2025?

What threat is that then?

@ Just keeping his powder dry I guess. I'm sure he can buy it - if not directly from Denmark, then by simply bunging a few million dollars to each of the inhabitants.

@ Very seriously. Of all the idiocies pumped out to justify this needless war, facile comparisons with the situation in Europe in the 1930s are the most irritating and damaging. Utterly childish!

@paulcjcross Democracy has failed. Its instruments are in the hands of warmongering crooks. Compared to this the dictatorship of an elderly gent with a sense of humour and a fine and pragmatic sense of national pride is as a warming wind across the icy waste.

@ Not in the slightest. Democracy has failed, its instruments commandeered by crooks and warmongers. Trump is like a warming wind blowing across an icy waste.

@ Not a bit.

@ Peace in our time - or something very close to it - would have been entirely feasible if the Americans and Blackrock hadn't persuaded the Ukrainians to sacrifice themselves. Donbass should have been excluded from the EU deal and there would have been no war.

@ The similarities are entirely spurious. In both instances the justifications are entirely understandable and indeed, reasonable - and "sovereignty" is just a word. You can't create countries simply by drawing lines on maps. The enormous differences in the ages, character and ambitions of the two men make the comparison entirely false. Putin has no intention of invading Europe, and bears no resemblance to Hitler in age , personality or intellectual prowess. These are just myths designed to gain popular support for what is basically a hostile takeover bid of the highly profitable and largely Russian mining industry in Eastern Ukraine.

@ The enormous differences in the two situations and the character and ambitions of the two leaders involved make this "startling similarity" entirely spurious. Contrary to popular belief, history rarely repeats itself. It is a sign of intellectual weakness to draw analogies between past and present events. Childish, in fact.

@Nonexistent_Hero No-one who cannot assess the present situation without harking back to the dim and distant days of German Nazi expansionism is worth arguing with. Analogies are foolish, and few more foolish than this popular excuse for people to stop thinking.

It is a total myth to suggest that Russia has any intention of invading Europe. NATO is little more than a glorified protection racket which needs this myth to justify its existence. Creating a European army is not only going against the tide of history - it is potentially suicidal.

@susannehartl3067 Russians often talk nonsense when drunk. Putin has made it quite clear that while reclaiming the Empire might be a fine, romantic notion it is neither practical nor even desirable. Been there. Done that. Got the T shirt.

@ That's just talk. Putin has made it quite clear that while re-creating the Empire might be a fine, romantic notion it is is in no way practical or desirable. The trouble the Russians are having simply trying to claw back Donbass rather proves the point.
