Eighty years ago, the bloodiest battle in human history ended. The German army surrendered to the Soviets at Stalingrad. More than one million human beings were killed in six months of fighting along the Volga River.

The defeat ended Hitler's totalitarian expansion, and 28 months later, he committed suicide.

Today we have Hitler's soul mate, Putin, trying to expand totalitarianism to Ukraine, a country conquered by the Nazis and located fairly close to Stalingrad, which is now called Volgograd. It's almost exactly the same story we saw in the 1940s; a brutal dictator waging war because he wants to see death and destruction. Putin loves that.
