YOU'd better read the news. There are very few Nazis now. Nazis sympathizers were all over Eastern Europe in Hitler's day. They are not there now in any serious numbers.
Speaking of history, Ukraine was cruelly subjugated by Stalin for two decades. Ukraine precedes Russia as a nation by 500 years. Khruschev was a huge improvement over Stalin, and it was possible to neotiate with him and start detente. Putin has torn it to shreds. He is much worse than anyone since Stalin. He massacred millions of Syrians to help Assad destroy his country. No current NATO country ever wants to be sujugated to a tyrant again, whether nazi, communist or tsarist. Neither does Ukraine. They are fighting back well and Putin will never be able to pacify resistance to him or any puppet he tries to install in some kind of phony regime.
NATO is united by this cruel invasion. Sanctions must be tougher. Russia should not be able to sell a drop of oil or gas to The West or to any of its partners. Even Kazakhstan is not on board with this. NATO is supplying singer missiles so the Ukrainians can knock the Russia planes bombing them out of the sky, just like the Afghans did. Tanks and guns are rolling in and the Ukrainians are bringing them to their soldiers. I don't know how long this stupid war will last, but it looks like Putin will have to occupy what he can, against his stated wishes, and keep fighting as long as he tries to conquer this country. And it must be so, otherwise Russia will be up against NATO borders, and any incident or further Russian attack could trigger a nuclear war. This must be prevented by helping Ukraine to stay free.
Letter to the editor, eh? Maybe I should look into that.
At the least, the USA is going to have to supply natural gas to Germany and Italy replace the Russian source. The West is going to need to step up transition to renewables so Russia can't hold us hostage to their gas again. Climate change and Putin's invasion are linked. The fourth turning is truly upon us and we are at 1938. If Putin is not stopped in his tracks and his regime ruined, then world war will result. America needs again to be the arsenal of democracy. Biden needs to step up his rhetoric and convince people to back him by rallying the nation in this triple emergency of climate change, covid and Putin.
