Letter to the editor: History repeating itself in Ukraine

Tribune-Review

This Russian threat on Ukraine is history repeating itself. Make no mistake: Vladimir Putin will not be satisfied with only Ukraine. I believe Putin wants to rebuild the old Soviet Union and take over the rest of Europe.

This reminds me of 1939 and the years before. Adolf Hitler first rearmed the border next to France, a DMZ. Then he took over Austria. Next was northern Czechoslovakia. Britain and France were being led by people who didn’t want to fight and looked the other way, until they realized he wouldn’t stop there. Then Hitler attacked Poland on Sept. 1, 1939.

It is like that now. President Biden’s pulling out of Afghanistan showed Putin his lack of resolve to fight. And President Trump, his buddy, would not want to stop him, either.

Putin has no fear of NATO or America stopping him.
