I am not much of a fan of Napoleon or Wellington.
The issue here was a comparison between Napoleon and Hitler being defeated by winter in Russia and the possibility that Putin (or Zelinskyy) would be defeated by winter in 2022. i don't think there is all that much in common.
And yes, there was no Stalingrad in Napoleon's time. Stalin (Steel) was the revolutionary nickname of Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili. Stalin was Georgian, not a Russian.
