Yes, exactly. I think the difference being Hitler's annexation of the Sudentenlands was never his end game, whereas I think that attempting to annex former Soviet regions with primarily Russian populations is as far as Putin is likely to go. And I think we'll be able to tell if this is true by what happens with Western Ukraine. If Putin is willing to take on that region, we will know that appeasement will not work and that Putin's ambitions are greater than simply unifying Russian populations under one flag.
