Ucrânia: artigos na Foreign Affairs; Putin como o novo Hitler

 Se o Putin atacar realmente a Ucrânia, ele não vai estar se equiparando ao Stalin da União Soviética, que em 1940 tomou os Países Bálticos e depois atacou a Finlândia.

Ele vai estar se equiparando a Hitler, que em setembro de 1939, depois de justamente ter feito um acordo de não agressão com Stalin (com um protocolo secreto prevendo a divisão do país entre eles dois) atacou covardemente a Polônia.

“The world is on the brink of the largest military offensive in Europe since World War II,” Alexander Vindman and Dominic Cruz Bustillos wrote recently in Foreign Affairs. “A major military conflict in Ukraine would be a catastrophe. It is an outcome that no one should crave. But it is now a likelihood for which the United States must prepare.”

 

With Russian forces massed at the Ukrainian border and U.S. officials warning of an imminent attack, read a selection of our best essays on the origins of the current crisis—and how it could end.
