The similarities are,I think superficial, the Germans had never been sovereign over the Sudatenland. They had openly expressed an imperial, expansionist policy for years. Russia hasn’t done that since it ceased to be the USSR. The Germans were were openly expansionist before the invasion and they made no pretext that the Cheks were threatening them.
I am not necessarily justifying Russian actions. I am saying maybe they are not cardboard villains and we should take them at their word. They believed adding Ukraine to NATO was a threat. That Ukraine was dominated by neoNAZIs (Hint: it was) and that the Russian speaking minority in the Eastern Ukraine would welcome them.
And yes, the Ukraine is more corrupt than Russian and Putin is better than Biden on every issue and the US has become the Great Whore of Babylon and must not be supoorted.
Brian Kilmeade of Fox News is another guy suffering from short man syndrome. Always the aggressive little bantam cock. A warmonger, especially about the Ukraine/Russian (U.S. by proxy) war. Another short man with a giant ego and a Napoleonic complex
Hitler had a moustache, and Putin does not, so any comparison of their penchant for invading peaceful neighboring countries and annexing vast swathes of their territory is fallacious!
Got it!
Seriously: No comparison is 100% accurate. No analogy is perfect. But it should be OBVIOUS to anyone with eyes to see that Russia is the aggressor here - not Ukraine.

The various Germanic tribes were moving to-and-fro in Central Europe for millenia with all sorts of settlement areas. Don't limit your view to a few years in the 20th century. (Not to be taken as an endorsement of the invasion of an, at that point, sovereign state.)
