In the 1930’s the Nazi’s created disturbances in neighboring countries by having locals create situations where it appeared that German citizens were being abused. This was all part of a plan to invade on the pretext that Hitler wanted peace but needed to protect Germans who were being abused. The British and the rest of the world allowed the bully to take land in the hope that it would satiate his appetite and prevent war. It failed and I fear we are seeing the same tragedy today in the Ukraine. The Russians are using the Nazi approach in the Ukraine and Putin is saying he wants peace but must protect Russian citizens living abroad. If the world stands up and confronts this war may be avoided, but to give in to this blatant attempt to steal a sovereign nation war may truly follow.
