Trump: "You're gambling with World War III."

History: "WWII started with a right-wing authoritarian leader allying himself with a Russian dictator and agreeing to mutually devour a country on Russia's borders. That's essentially identical to what Trump and Putin are attempting to do now. The way to stop WWII was to hold a dictator in check. The way to prevent WWIII is the same."

@bodhipaksa Molotov-Ribbentrop pact covered several countries.

@rmattila74 Absolutely. Hopefully if people follow the link I provided they'll learn that. What I was referring to, though, was the start of the war, which was the invasion of Poland.

It's quite likely Putin's plans extend to invading the Baltic states and Finland, and beyond. And I wouldn't be surprised if Trump has told him he's okay with that.

History repeating...
