Putin’s war in Ukraine and lessons from history

Estonian prime minister, Kaja Kallas, said the west was making the same mistake as in 1938, when tensions in Abyssinia, Japan and Germany were treated as isolated events.

The proximate causes of the current conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East, the South China Sea and even Armenia might be different,
but the bigger picture showed an interconnected battlefield in which post-cold war certainties had given way to
“great-power competition”
in which authoritarian leaders were testing the boundaries of their empires.

The lesson – and necessity – was to resist and rearm. “The lesson from 1938 and 1939 is that if aggression pays off somewhere, it serves as an invitation to use it elsewhere,” Kallas said.

Her favourite historian, Prof Tim Snyder, adds a twist by reimagining 1938 as a year in which Czechoslovakia, like Ukraine in 2022, had chosen to fight:
“So you had in Czechoslovakia, like Ukraine, an imperfect democracy.

It’s the farthest democracy in eastern Europe. It has various problems, but when threatened by a larger neighbour, it chooses to resist. In that world, where Czechoslovakia resists, there’s no second world war.”

Snyder said such an outcome had been possible.
“They could have held the Germans back. It was largely a bluff on the German side. If the Czechs resisted, and the French and the British and maybe the Americans eventually started to help, there would have been a conflict, but there wouldn’t have been a second world war.

“Instead, when Germany invaded Poland in 1939, it was invading Poland with the Czech armaments industry, which was the best in the world.
It was invading with Slovak soldiers.
It was invading from a geographical position that it only gained because it had destroyed Czechoslovakia"

@LazaroDTormes @shuttersparks @cdarwin @Npars01 More than 60% of Russians support the war and annexation of Ukraine. There are those that don’t and they are brutally suppressed. However, when I see Russian soldiers carting away washing machines after executions and texting their wives about their rape of women and children, which their wives encourage, I’ll stick to my generalization in this instance.

lawyersgunsnmoney ,
@lawyersgunsnmoney@mstdn.social avatar

@Npars01 @LazaroDTormes @shuttersparks @cdarwin I concur also that collective guilt is wrong. However, in the Russian’s case it is a few that are punished for the transgressions of the many who support Putin’s war. The risk of dissent or insurgency is greater than simply being killed.

This summer’s Democratic National Convention could be hit by protests and scenes of chaos that undermine Joe Biden's reelection campaign.

Already, 65-plus organizations in Chicago and elsewhere have formed a coalition to “March on the DNC” when it opens there on Aug. 19.

Activists have sued in federal court, alleging First Amendment violations because the city has only offered permits for demonstrations miles from the United Center, where Biden is scheduled to accept the Democratic presidential nomination.

Protesters preparing for the convention have vowed to march on it anyway, raising the specter of clashes with police that could undercut Biden and further divide the Democratic base.
They think the campus demonstrations — and broad Democratic disapproval of the war — will fuel their efforts.
