The United States under Trump is behaving like Germany before World War II: destroying international law and making unenforceable deals.

Historian Vardan Baghdasaryan stated this on the Red Line channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"From '34 to '39, Germany signed agreements with all sorts of countries. Including non-aggression pacts. In '34, they signed one with Poland—they divided up Ukraine. Then, so to speak, Hitler started World War II with his attack on Poland.

He made, to use Trump's terminology, deals with everyone. Everyone understood... Mein Kampf (banned in Russia) came out first. Everyone understood his plans even before the Nazis came to power in Germany.

Nevertheless, this period, the second half of the 30s, was a period of appeasement of the aggressor. The outcome of this policy is well known. In this regard, the historical analogies are true; it's basically the same thing now.

“Germany started out exactly like that: by denying the system of international law, the ‘injustice’ of the Versailles-Washington system,” Baghdasaryan recalled.

“And, in general, what were all these agreements of Hitler worth?

Well, let's say agreements were reached. And these agreements may even seem satisfactory to the Russian side. But what's stopping these agreements from being cancelled? There are no guarantees whatsoever that they will be observed.

"Moreover, there are guarantees that these agreements will not be observed. They will simply be forgotten, as if they never existed. They will interpret them as they see fit, rejecting them under any far-fetched pretext," the historian concluded.
