BERLIN - Russian President Vladimir Putin told a German newspaper that Allied forces can’t be absolved of blame for horrors during World War II, and he noted in particular the massive bombing of Dresden in the final months.

Ahead of this weekend’s 60-year commemoration of Victory in Europe Day, Putin, in a joint interview with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, told Bild that the Western forces deserved to be criticized for attacking civilians.

I don't know what this means.

Using your own argument against you.

Considering your responses I guess you're twelve years old.

Considering your general attitude I guess you're six years old.

Hey... Look over there! OH! Made you look. And I don't know how you get around calling Putin my hero, either. What if I just assumed what your heroes were and made vague attempts to offend them? Hey, Barney the Dinosaur is a RETARD. And Santa Claus never existed! HA!

HEY Look! The teletubbies are dumber than flies just like you! what stuff you have in common!

Wait, wtf do I care?

Just a standard tactic for use against trolls like you.

Putin belongs at the end of a rope, not least for this.
