A Putin affiliate evokes Hitler. The West should be worried.
The Washington Post ^ | April 23, 2014 | Richard Cohen

Is Andranik Migranyan right?

The head of a think tank associated with Vladimir Putin wrote the following in response to critics who liken the Russian president to Adolf Hitler and what he did so long ago: “One must distinguish between Hitler before 1939 and Hitler after 1939. The thing is that Hitler collected [German] lands. If he had become famous only for uniting without a drop of blood Germany with Austria, Sudetenland and Memel, in fact completing what Bismarck failed to do, and if he had stopped there, then he would have remained a politician of the highest class.”

we have our own little tin plated dictator.

let the Russian population in adjacent nations to Russia decide what type of country they want.

Americans and most importantly FReepers need to worry about the criminal Marxist that rules America.....

The Nazis are in Kiev, not Moscow.

Which is going to result in a revolt down the road.

Really?

Please, show us all the masked Ukrainians with machine guns taking over Russian government buildings.

Cuz all we’re seeing so far is the opposite, so I think you also have your definition of “Nazi” backwards ...

Krystalnacht took place in 1938. Even if Putin’s point were valid, he picked a bad year. In reality, the pre-1938 or whatever version is just a monster in infancy, it could not have grown into anything BUT a monster.

The Socialist/Communist, international left agrees with you, and enjoys Obama’s weakness and impotence.

Disagree. First thing we need to do is remove socialist communist from Americas current regime. Home front always comes first.

Secondly Putin is an apparent conservative Christian who bans public homosexual demonstrations and is controlling his local islamicists. Please addresses these facts

It is not “apparent” that the corrupt KGB man who has amassed up to 70 billion dollars and is oppressing Christians and helping to corrupt the already corrupt and largely KGB led Russian Orthodox church is a “conservative Christian”, which describes Ronald Reagan, not some dictator type leader of Russia trying to build an empire, and that has managed to become one of the richest men on the planet.

America can handle more than one thing at a time, so can conservatives and FR, we can discuss foreign policy and domestic politics at the same time.

I reject you opinion that Barrack Hussein Obama, should use our formerly great military to do ANYTHING.
He is too dangerous to lead our nations military any farther than he inherited. And he has systematically destroyed the leadership of the military to the point that most of the general officers are his toadies as the rest have been forced to resign.

Vlad Putin is more of a man and more of a capitalist than Barry can ever be.
WAKE UP.

Personally, I think this is nuts, and sick.

“The dispatch of US troops to Poland is a reckless and provocative move that heightens the very real danger not only of civil war in Ukraine, but of war by the US, Germany and NATO against Russia, a nuclear power. It underscores the fact that the crisis in Ukraine was deliberately provoked by Washington to create the pretext for a political, economic, diplomatic and military offensive against Russia that had long been in the planning.
There is no sign that the Geneva agreement will have any impact on antigovernment demonstrators in eastern Ukraine who have seized buildings and declared vehement opposition to the right-wing, ultranationalist regime in Kiev. That government was installed last February in a putsch orchestrated by Washington and Berlin.”
