Find me a single American journalist that interviewed Hitler after he invaded Poland. I'll wait.
Karl H. von Wiegand, an American journalist, met Hitler first in 1921. Poland was invaded on 1 September, 1939 by the Third Reich. A month after Germany invaded France in World War II, on June 11, 1940, he secured another interview with Hitler. He's the only American who had the chance to interview Hitler.
Not only that, but US companies such as Ford and IBM continued to do business with Germany well into the war. And of course, we shouldn't forget that nazis were directly inspired by US race laws, but initially even they found them to be too extreme.

Not just interviewing Hitler, but only asking the questions Hitler wanted, and then urging the world to listen because everybody needs to hear his side
Just so we're clear here, what you're suggesting that engaging in wars of aggression automatically equates the country with the nazi Germany?
Comparing Putin with Hitler is a form of Nazi apologia
Someone post that article about how comparing communism to nazism is antisemitism. It's really good.
EDIT: I know Russia isn't communist but you'd be easily mistaken with how liberals talk about them.

might be a better place to ask your question. This is a thread about something else. Wiegand would be the obvious one tho.
