#3 Using the same excuses in order to further their agenda!
At this point, we are all sick and tired of hearing Putin go on about how he “did not” start any war and that the “military operation” he is conducting is actually to save and protect the Russian population in Ukraine from “Nazis.” He is trying to annex the country, just as he tried to do with Crimea a few years ago, and he has been invading some Asian countries (Georgia in 2008, for example), using the same excuses then as now.
Sure, no one believes his excuses except his ardent supporters, but this is the same one that Hitler used when he first began attacking other countries, and it is almost exactly parodied after the Nazi excuse used at the start of the Second World War.
Hitler used to claim that other countries were abusing native Germans in their territories, and Putin used the same excuse. Both of them send hidden saboteurs to pretend they are of another nationality to attack the borders and thus have the best “reason” to start their invasion.
How convenient that countries ruled by dictators who also have full-blown armies ready to strike at another country’s border get the exact excuse they need to start an invasion.
The two are more similar than either of us could have imagined!
