FFS can we move on from WWII already? Everyone we don't like is Hitler. Everyone who doesn't want war is Chamberlain. 100s of wars have been fought in Europe alone in the last 300 years, yet everything we discuss is WWII.

Why not Iran? Why not Korea? Why not Vietnam? Why not Serbia? Why not Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran (again), Libya, Syria?

Why not Japan right now? They have asked the US troops to leave Okinawa. We told them no. That makes our presence there (another) illegal occupation. Germany is pretty divided on whether we want US troops there at the level of the public.

We're talking about Europe. All of your European examples are cold war relics. Move on to the 21st century, Lester.

Russia is not the USSR.
