> Very different situation from Russia/Ukraine. That's a bizarrely absurd attitude. > and invaded Germany first So if Russia now invaded Poland or the Baltic States and France/US/UK 'attacked' Russia in response that would not be a justifiable thing to do? Because that's exactly what you're saying... > France had treated Germany horribly 1. Yes. But that happened 20 years ago as a response to a German invasion of France (and Belgium but why would anyone care about the people that get caught in between...). And both countries were on a path towards reconciliation after Locarno. This does not make Nazi actions in any way more justifiable... > a great casus belli The world thankfully does not work like a Paradox grand strategy game...
