History repeats itself?

For some reason, I awoke this morning thinking about that phrase telling about how history repeats itself'  For some reason that seems to make more sense in today's world that it did when I first heard it in High School here in Aiken. quite a few years ago.  

And the main problem we might be able to recreate would be seen if we were to show our grandchildren the movie, The Sound of Music!   I'm pretty sure they would enjoy the picture--it was a real winner at the Oscars that year.  But there is one thing I expect I would hear at the end:  "Granddad, that was a great movie, but they got a few things wrong."  (My grandkids do watch the news occasionally!)  "In the first place, the big guy's name, the leader of the country in charge should have been 'Putin,' not 'Hitler!'  And, Granddad, in the second place, the hero's name was not as given, Von Trapp, it should have been 'Zelensky!'  And finally, Granddad, the country should have been 'Ukraine!'  (Everybody knows that, Granddad!!!)"

And now you know the end of the story (or why the title is what it is!)
