Poland 1939 vs Ukraine 2022- Historical Parallel?

[Mushroom]

A more accurate parallel would be the US response to the Soviets incursion into Cuba in 1962, and the response to it by Kennedy. The UN posed a very real threat to Russia with it's creeping expansion on Russia's border and the US sponsored coup in Ukraine by Vicky Nuland.

Wow, that is such a jumbled mess I have no idea what to even think about it.

But I am curious, exactly how was the UN a threat to Russia, and what exactly are their borders that were creeping?

In 1939, Germany invaded Poland to recover territory it lost after WW1. A key objective was to establish a secure land bridge to East Prussia, which had been separated from the rest of Germany. The UK led Poland to believe that it would protect Poland from Germany. As a result, Poland took an intransigent position against German recovery of its former territories. War ensued, and the UK began a blockade of German ports. However, direct military engagement between the UK and Germany did not occur for an extended period of time (aka the Phony War).

In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine to recover territory it lost after the breakup of the Soviet Union. A key objective was to establish a secure land bridge to Crimea, which had been separated from the rest of Russia. The US led Ukraine to believe that it would protect Ukraine from Russia. As a result, Ukraine took an intransigent position against Russian recovery of its former territories. War ensued, and the US began an economic blockade of Russian exports. However, direct military engagement between the US and Russia has not occurred for an extended period of time.

Does anyone else see an historical parallel? Are we now in another "phony war" that will ultimately lead to direct conflict between the US and Russia? How long before that occurs?

They also invaded to destroy 3 Million Jews who have lived there since the 14 th century

How would you feel if a Russian Alliance Treaty were to want to admit Puerto Rico to join their group and build bases there?

Ukraine wanted and wants to be with EU, not Putin's genocidal regime. That's why Putin grabbed Crimea when he could and sent/supported his Russian nationalists to take over the Donbas oblasts that had many ethnic Russians, but mostly ethnic Ukrainians lived there ... before the genocide started in 2014.

The Mexican-American War did not lead to a World War.

I hope, that the current crisis of the European security won't lead to it, either.

First of all, what in the hell does that have to do with the UN?

Second, most of those are continents away from Russia and a thousand miles or more away. And just by looking, I can tell that is a lot of crap.

Case in point, Baledogle Airfield in Somalia. That is not a US base, that is a Somali base. The majority of forces there are the Somali Army, and a UN Security contingent. And there are around 500 US military members who provide training to the Somali and other forces there.

You seem to seriously have a case of HUA syndrome there.

Keep talking to yourself, if it helps it helps.

I'd say that both wars are more complex than just recovering lost land, but recovering lost land was one reason why they happened.

Germany was looking to create a great empire, so too is Putin. The male desire to be the most power motherfucker and not give a damn about the lives of ordinary people is another common thing here.

What do you think the New Project for the American Century, the neocons and the neolibs, and the WEF are trying to do?

Stalin 'planned to send a million troops to stop Hitler if Britain and France agreed pact'

Stalin was 'prepared to move more than a million Soviet troops to the German border to deter Hitler's aggression just before the Second World War'
