The Second World War was sparked
by Warsaw’s resistance to Berlin’s demand to annex the Polish Corridor, a small stretch of land —smaller than Crimea—separating the German provinces of Pomerania and East Prussia. Hitler responded by invading Poland and partitioning it with the Soviet Union. Britain and France had pledged to defend Polish independence, and two days after Germany invaded, they declared war. In his war message, Chamberlain explained that Hitler’s actions showed “there is no chance of expecting that this man will ever give up his practice of using force to gain his will. He can only be stopped by force.” Guest Post: Would America Go To War With Russia? | Zero Hedge

Even great appeasers Chamberlain and Daladier had the point where they said "no more!" and, however reluctantly, committed themselves and their nations to stopping Hitler militarily. Does 0bama have such a point? I doubt it.

The biggest difference between the two situations is like the 800lb gorilla that everyone is trying to ignore.
Hitler's Germany, evil as it might have been, didn't have the ability to end civilisation. Putin's Russia, on the other hand...

WTF? Obama is ending civilization in this country without firing a shot. The prick would cheerfully hand over the US to Putin simply because Obama believes WE'RE the greater danger to the world.
The only part of this country necessary to hand over is the 68 plus square miles located in west4ern Maryland and provided Putin TAKES it and the occupants out of the country.

I truly do not believe that Putin wants to conquer the world like Hitler, only that he has a vision of a USSR type buffer zone of economic control that makes Russia dominant over the whole planet as the sole richest superpower.

Awfully sorry to burst the bubbles of those who want to paint Russia as the new Nazi Germany, but the fact is the present-day Nazis are still the Muslims. And Russia is one of the few who ever does a thing to counter this threat.
It's unfortunate for Russia to be confronted with an America under the presidency of a Hussein. Otherwise, America and Russia could be the best of allies. One need only remember the link between Beslan and the Boston terror attack to understand this.
