On Historical Analogies And Their Application To Current Affairs

I’ve been mulling over what’s happening in the Ukraine and trying to find a suitable and familiar historical analogy to use as a starting point to get my head around what’s going on.

I’ve considered Cypress and the Glorious Revolution of 1688.

It kinda feels a bit more like the Sudetenland about now.

Which would mean that a Russian invasion of Ukraine would lead directly into WWIII.

Let's hope not :->
