How could one compare, WWI, and WWII, and the Russian Revolution, to the state of the world today with regards to Russians invasion (War) against Ukraine.
Watching the various sources of news, regarding the Russian-Ukraine; may well go down in history, as one more step to a larger more extensive war.
Yet, in the United States, almost everyone in a leadership position (especially the current President) faces various forms of backlash for proposing their plans, that other politicians like or dislike. The fact that Biden stated in his campaign that he will not seek re-election, means he can act on behalf of the United States without placating US citizens. Of course the opposing party (Republicans) will seek to detract from #Joe Biden. Yet foreign policy, with regards to the defensive war that Ukraine is fighting against the stronger military super power, means that they cannot win without help.
Traditionally, policies of appeasement by ceding territory to an enemy of peace (such as Putin's Russia aggression against Ukraine) has never lead to the attacking military force, becoming weaker. Instead the instigators of the war become emboldened, believing, they can take over more sovereign nations with impunity.
The Allies could not agree on their aims in Russia, however, and Lenin took advantage of their war-weariness. After two years of fighting, the Bolsheviks emerged victorious.
