Might as well throw his comments into this fray...

"We do not have the right to forget the causes of any war, which must be sought in the mistakes and errors of peacetime," Putin said.

"Moreover, in our time, these threats are not diminishing," he said as he delved into what one expert said was clearly an allusion to U.S. foreign policy. "They are only transforming, changing their appearance. In these new threats - as during the time of the Third Reich - are the same contempt for human life and the same claims of exceptionality and diktat in the world."

Wonder what Putin did as a KGB officer.

Putin’s second language is German and he has orchestrated an anti-Polish alliance with Germany in a repeat of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

The reporter decided he was talking about the US. Perhaps he was talking about World Islam

Well it’s not like the old USSR had a stellar human rights record.

I believe it was Congressman Harry S. Truman who once opined that “we should arm whichever side seems to be losing”; in the hopes that they (nazis and communists) would kill each other off.
