Confronted with the deaths of millions under Hitler and Stalin, his response is: "you can’t separate Hitler and Stalin from the global democratic revolution that they’re a part of". So the rise of democracy is to blame for the 100s of millions of deaths under Stalin and Hitler, not the autocracies of Stalin and Hitler. Now I get how people can argue that Ukraine got invaded by the USSR because they wanted to join NATO. You just go back in the causal tree until you hit the thing you don't like and blame it.
