Brad, Germany was an expansionist imperial power that had invaded, occupied, and/or bombed many other European countries. And its ally, Japan, bombed the U.S. after having invaded several of its Asian neighbors. Both were major industrial powers too. I don't see any relevance of WW II parallels to the present situation, which even warriors acknowledge is illegal under present international law, and which involves an industrial midget that has been severely weakened by years of sanctions.
