Have we not learned anything from World War II? How different is Putin from Hitler?
During his most recent speech, President Vladimir Putin claimed that one of his primary motives was to “denazify” Ukraine. The term denazification stemmed from World War II, and is defined as the act of freeing, or declaring freed from Nazi influence of ideology.
Now, let us not forget that Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is Jewish, and his grandfather’s family was brutally murdered in the Holocaust.
Soon after Putin’s grotesque remark, President Zelensky defended his country by tweeting that Russia had attacked Ukraine just as “Nazi Germany did.”
But Putin’s fascist remarks only reveal his deep-seated intentions to exploit the trauma of war and twist history for his very own interests.
And as it weren’t enough already, Ukraine is fighting this war alone, while “…the most powerful forces in the world watch from afar.”
But how should NATO respond to Putin’s invasion?
