    And people seem to forget that it took years of concerted effort of several major world powers to end Nazi Germany. They didn’t go voluntarily, and this time we have no world powers who are really interested in stopping it. Most of them are in fact busy cheering it on.

      Yeah. Even the EU lacks the capability or—frankly—willingness, to seriously intervene, and of course China will take the opportunity to enter Taiwan and eat popcorn while their only real geopolitical rival destroys itself.

      Back in WW2 days, most world powers had very little interest in stopping Hitler either. In fact, they couldn’t care less and often tried to keep to their own, internal affairs instead of starting a war with nothing in it for them.

      It was only after Hitler continued to invade one neighboring country after another that they had to do something, or they themselves would have been next. It was only after Hitler marched into Russia (twice) that Russia hit back, and that more or less turned the tides of war (Stalingrad).
