Keep in mind Nazi means National Socialist. If you look under the surface, what Hitler was appealing to, was German tribalism. Which was seriously enflamed by Germany having its nose rubbed in the mud, after WW1.

So now we think rubbing Russia's nose in the mud of Ukraine will make it shed Putin? Lol.

Putin rose to power largely due to Russia having its nose rubbed in the mud after the Cold War, so the narrative hasn't change, only getting more real.

Under the culture, politics and personalities, when its millions of people, biology and physics drive the dynamic.
