When I try to think of historical analogues for regimes as reckless as this one is with its own country's human, material, and intellectual resources, the warning lights for mass violence start flashing bright red.

“This regime”, as you describe it, has enjoyed geographic advantages for hundreds of years.

A natural question then is, is it a regime of the country or a foreign agent?!? If not, is this one country?!?

It is indeed quite spectacular. Half a year ago, I thought that an appropriate comparison could be Peron's Argentina in the 50s. But now the hostility towards citizens seems much worse. Direction is towards Stalin in the 30s. And why not when Trump publicly touts that he gets advice from Putin.

As I watch everything going on, being compared to Hitler and Putin, somehow it seems worse because it's not sneaking up on us. It's not happening far away where we don't know what's going on. We have communication not around when they happened.
