I agree, the USSR assumed too much good faith on the part of NATO. Millions of casualties from economic devastation later, nationalist wars are still breaking out between former soviet states, and Nazism is on the rise.
There are other things to learn in history too, such as some countries, like Russia, simply lacking resources to fight wars this big. As the other commenter said, they can’t get past Ukraine.
Hitler comparison is really out of place here. It’s more similar to some of the wars in Africa and Latin America.
The only reason they can’t get past ukraine at the moment is because of western intervention. If the west hadn’t supported ukraine in they way they have lukies map would be a reality already
you avoid appeasement doesn’t work again as seen by Hitler and WW2
The fuck kind of sentence is that? I’m not even sure what you’re trying to to say. You’re awfully arrogant for a guy who can’t speak the language he’s arguing in.
Look man, idk why you insist our only options are appeasement or provocation. Each of those led to a world war. And that’s about all I’m going to say, because you’re rambling incoherently at this point and it hurts my head to read it.
Lmao and you attack again. And try to suggest that Nato defence alliance (see why it was important that I corrected you the first time?) is provocation lmao. And you attack more. Ok really I’m out this time. Obvious troll is obvious.
Also funny how this “appeasement never works” fanaticism never applies to NATO and it’s members
Yeah, funny how Russia, China and friends haven’t sanctioned the US and other countries. They have the full right to do that instead of continuing to appease them.
Because the US geopolitical goals and actions, while often reprehensible, generally speaking aren’t against Swedish interests, whereas Russia is a much more direct threat to Sweden.
Why does China keep appeasing the US by not sending weapons to support Russia?
Have you learnt nothing from Hitler and WW2? Appeasement doesn’t work.

Wars “breaking out” like it isn’t Russia invading everybody else lmao
It literally doesn’t matter who is invading who, it wouldn’t have happened without the western backed coup of soviet democracy.

So?
Have you learned nothing from WW1? Massive military alliances don’t prevent wars.
Notice you don’t actually address appeasement doesn’t work?
But as for
militarydefence alliance (notice how you tried to misportray that?): Points to cold war.Something tells me you’re a Putin apologist.
You should listen to Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History. WW1 was interesting.
Meet NATO, the Dangerous “Defensive” Alliance Trying to Run the World
The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discretely Internationalized It
Notice that I pointed out that your solution is something else that doesn’t work?
Oh fuck off with the smug smarmy shit nobody’s impressed.
Putin has justified half of what he’s done by playing the victim and whining about NATO expansion. He wants this, and you want him to have it.

Can you explain why Russia and China haven’t sanctioned the US if they are so opposed to what the US is doing?
Russia and China aren’t doing sanctions like the US is because those sanctions are illegal.
Ah yes, Russia and China, so well known for following international law to the letter.

Maybe they should stop being such goody-two-shoes then if they want to have an influence in the world.
They follow it a helluva lot more than the US does, which fabricated a whole “rules-based international order,” which is nothing but We make up the rules, and order everyone around. Mafia rule.

It’s not appeasement if the party being “appeased” is not opposed to you to begin with.
