    What a coincidence: Adolf Schicklgruber had no interest in negotiating with the Allies in 1945! I have to admit, though, that the equivalence can apply to the extent that the Western capitalists can be held indirectly responsible for Putin’s career in the same way that the Entente can be held indirectly responsible for the rise of Fascism:

    By behaving more wisely, governments could have chosen not to launch World War I, or not to end World War I in a manner that had people predicting WWII on the spot. […] If we went back an additional 20 years to the proposals for peace discussed at the Hague in 1899 but never acted upon, our case would be that much stronger.74
