I think Putin is an imperialist and does want more territory. I also think Ukraine is a strange mix of many cultures which might work better if it was split up. And I think appeasing Putin with guarantees to Crimea and letting him have the Donbass with no more resistance could stop the war.
Not every war is WW2. Not every enemy is Hitler. Not everybody who makes this argument is Neville Chamberlain. Most military leaders don't want to hurt anybody, they just want power and control. And less people die if you give it to them. Hitler was the exception, not the rule.
Russia will not march across Europe taking more and more, because Russia will not dare attack a NATO country. His expansion stops at NATO. Moldova is the only other country at risk, and we probably can't stop him from taking it.
