Hitler invaded Poland to plunder the country to stave off another impending economic collapse of Germany, thanks to his runaway excessive government spending. In that sense, he was distracting the Germans from being revealed on how bad of an administrator he was. Trump invaded Venezuela and wants to annex Greenland to distract people from the fact that he is a pedophile. And that's a helluva weirder reason to go to war for distraction...

The economy built just to wage war needed a war, that's the reasoning you're going with for why Hitler was expansionary???

Trump doesn't care if people think he's a pedophile he just wants power and people giving him attention. Or just to have a landmark for himself, see putting name on anything.

Most people don't realise Nazi Germany was on a brink of another economic collapse before Poland was invaded.
