Putin's tactics on Ukraine, especially since the Crimea invasion, wreaks of Hitler's tactics prior to invading Poland. Very in your face, ignoring sanctions and worldwide outcry, taking over strategic land such as the Rhineland, and the western part of Czechoslovakia. Which like how eastern Ukraine is primarily Russians, western Czechoslovakia was primarily Germans. And Hitler's thinking being "this land rightfully belongs to Germany"
I can see Putin having that same viewpoint since Ukraine became independent after the fall of the Soviet Union, and he's now taking back land that he feels rightfully belongs to Russia. Which immediately makes you worry about the other neighboring states that were once part of the Soviet Union as well. There's no reason for this.........
