1923: Hitler’s failed coup.

No real consequences.
No fundamental changes.

1933: Hitler takes power.

I wish I could implant this into everyone’s brain.

@Strandjunker The one major difference (although I'm still concerned). Germany, during the rise of Hitler, was economically shattered and any con man promising to make Germany great again was an easier message to swallow.

Mostly wars were started to deviate the attention from e. g. unbalanced economies or other national problems...

@Micio @azphilosopher @Strandjunker

imagine if #Putin had applied for #Russia's EU membership mid-2008, when the Ruble was up.

According to me it would have been a much safer, forward oriented and prosperous Russia -- and Europe.

🤣 ask Sweden Norway, the Baltics, Ukraina how sure the all felt before 2008...Maybe it was better for the rouble 0.030
