Not likely. The mess that was left over from WWI and Versailles pretty much put paid to that concept. The Blood Lands were going to be a war zone pretty no matter what. The only question was when. Hitler didn't create the circumstances rather he took advantage of hates, tensions and economic woes already present.It's too bad the Weimar Republic didn't work out, as I believe Britain, France, Italy, Germany and Poland may well have joined forces by the 1940s to counter an expansionist Stalin. We could have been shod of Russian aggression by now.

Putin is preparing a terrorist attack on the Chernobyl nuclear power plant
March 11, 2022
According to available information, Vladimir Putin has ordered the preparation of a terrorist attack at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The Russian-controlled Chernobyl nuclear power plant plans to create a man-made catastrophe, for which the occupiers will try to shift responsibility to Ukraine.
Currently, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is completely disconnected from the monitoring systems of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The station is de-energized. The resource of available diesel generators is designed for 48 hours of maintenance of safety systems.
The occupiers refused to grant access to the station to Ukrainian repairmen. Instead, "Belarusian specialists" went there on the instructions of Alexander Lukashenko. Among them, under the guise of nuclear power plants, Russian saboteurs also come to organize a terrorist attack.
I find it very poor form that it would be considered that I would support the Ukrainian invasion on any level.
Absolutely poor form.
If my comment was dopey why are you apologizing below? You clearly implied support of the invasion and are now with good reason backtracking. I can only call it as I see it.Noted.
Next time I'll inform you specifically of my sarcasm first so I don't get an equally dopey comment from you.
You appear to have forgotten that the audience, not the writer decides the meaning of what's written. As the writer, if what's deciphered is not what you intended, that's on you.That was not my intent. However, my apologies. It was honestly not my intent to imply you were supporting the invasion.
The purges begin.In addition it looks like Putin is setting the stage for how he can pull out and stay in power.
Classic Russia - a few trials, a few executions and probably a few internal exiles after Tsar Putin claims he was mislead and status quo ante bellum.

Not that I have a side in this disagreement, but in any communication, misunderstandings can equally-well be based on a mistaken understanding by the audience. Pinning it all on the writer ignores the fact that reading too is an art.
In short: a misunderstanding can arise from several sources ... not only the writer.
If you look at the photos, the difference is the same as the Ukrainian claims. This makes me more confident in the accuracy of their other claims.

I wonder what Ukraines capabilities are in regards to launching their own missile strikes? Belarus has troops in Ukraine and is allowing Russia to launch air strikes from within its borders. Ukraine would be justified in destroying those aircraft on the ground.
Why did I hear the Bayraktar song in my mind while I was looking at those lines of aircraft?
Agree...but I suspect the Russian response would simply be to up the ante on the "shock and awe" they're imposing on the Ukrainian civilian population....if it's possible to be more indiscriminate than they already are.
