'America First' has worrying echoes of Hitler's 'Germany above all' - Lavrov
BNN ^ | 2/4/2025 | Staff

The United States' 'America First' policy has disturbing similarities to the slogan 'Germany above all' used by the Nazis to assert national superiority over others, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned.

In an op-ed for the magazine 'Russia in Global Affairs' published on Tuesday, Lavrov argued that Washington's approach undermines the UN Charter and the post-war global order built on sovereign equality. He noted that this principle was enshrined in the Yalta-Potsdam agreements signed in 1945 by the USSR, US, and UK, shaping the modern international system.

With the administration of US President Donald Trump back in power, Washington's interpretation of international processes since World War II has taken on a new dimension, Lavrov claimed.

"'America First' is alarmingly similar to the Hitlerite slogan 'Germany above all,'" Lavrov said, adding that an approach based on "peace through strength" could be the final blow to diplomacy.

These types of statements and ideological constructs do not show "the slightest bit of respect" for Washington's international legal obligations under the UN Charter, he argued.

"However, today is not 1991 or even 2017, when the incumbent US President took the helm for the first time," Lavrov wrote.

Citing Russian analysts, he argued that a return to the previous global order, which is still pursued by the US and its allies, is impossible, as demographic, economic, social, and geopolitical shifts have become irreversible. He expressed hope that the US will eventually accept a new role as one of several global powers rather than as hegemon.

Multipolarity is gaining momentum, Lavrov went on to say, suggesting that instead of opposing it, the US could in the foreseeable future become a "responsible" center of power along with Russia, China, and other countries in the Global South, East, North, and West.

With a little bit of effort, you can “prove” that anyone is a Nazi.
For example:

Hitler liked dogs.
Therefore, if you like dogs you are a Nazi.

Lavrov’s been the foreign minister since 2004. His political party’s name is “United Russia”. You don’t avoid falling out a window in Russian politics by being a dummy.

Interesting comments considering that his boss, Vladimir Putin, recently issued sympathetic comments relative to Trump’s fighting the Deep State.

Shades of Nazi Germany, said the guy whose country is actually invading another country. Says the guy whose country is ruled by a dear leader for life.

Soviets were all for “America First” before Hitler invaded the Soviet Union.

I didn’t think Russia’s meltdown over President Trump would happen so quickly but here we are…

Multipolarity is gaining momentum, Lavrov went on to say, suggesting that instead of opposing it, the US could in the foreseeable future become a "responsible" center of power along with Russia, China, and other countries in the Global South, East, North, and West.
