There’s a major reason why the world in 2022 is like the world in 1939

There’s a major reason why the world in 2022 is like the world in 1939 - By Vince Coyner
  • Vladimir Putin is a bad guy. Vladimir Putin is a megalomaniac. Vladimir Putin is a criminal. All those things are true. Similarly, Adolf Hitler was a bad guy, a megalomaniac, and a criminal. 
  • But Vladimir Putin is not Adolf Hitler and Russia in 2022 is not Germany in 1938/39. 
  • But in both cases, the future of the world hung on / hangs in the balance. 
  • But maybe not in the way you think....
  • ...At the very moment when a fragile peace could have been worked out and negotiators begun to solve the differences between Russia and Ukraine, Joe Biden steps in and does what he does best, mess things up. The timeline here is interesting. Even though, on March 10, the US promised Ukraine $13 billion and, on March 26, Biden told the world that Putin “cannot remain in power,” the Russian and Ukrainian negotiators were still able to come to an agreement on a peace deal. And staggeringly, Joe Biden scuttled it...
...In 2022 if the world finds itself in a nuclear conflict, Vladimir Putin will bear some of the blame, but he will share that with the feckless Joe Biden
Putin’s a thug, and Biden’s a dunce, and everyone knows it. 
Most of the blame however will sit squarely on the shoulders of the purported “81 million” Americans who were so angered by “mean tweets” that they put into the most powerful office in the world someone demonstrably not capable of running a lemonade stand."
