The Ukraine war has seen people wheel out the whole “any attempt to negotiate or otherwise diplomatically engage with Russia is just like pre-WW2 appeasement policy!” rhetoric. But if we’re going to be doing Nazi Germany analogies here, the country trying to fight to the bitter end, conscripting old men, throwing away manpower in ill-thought-out offensives and getting their troops repeatedly encircled… isn’t Russia.
i’m probably stupid but is this a reference to Sykes–Picot Agreement ?
Nope, it’s just Hitler.
