Is Vladimir Putin Another Adolf Hitler?
Forbes ^ | 04/16/2014 | Paul Johnson

Posted on 04/17/2014 3:50:14 AM PDT by Siegfried X

As Mein Kampf makes clear, Hitler sought to unite all the people of German speech and culture into one state, or Reich, preferably by peaceful negotiation, otherwise by war and conquest...

Today’s drift toward war with Russia seems like a replay of the past. Putin is a Russian nationalist, who believes in a strong Stalinist state. His goal is to reverse the events of 1989–the end of the Soviet state and dissolution of its enormous empire...

...to wield against the various weak states that were part of the U.S.S.R... All have ethnic Russian minorities, who speak the language, boast of their superior Russian culture and claim to have been relegated to second-class citizenship. Putin can rely on these minorities to agitate for Russian intervention whenever he wants–most importantly in the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. His successful annexation of Crimea is greatly encouraging to his long-term plans, and it’s clear he’ll use everything in his power, including military force, to reconstruct his empire.

No, he isn’t. Godwin’s Law invoked.

I think the real question is Putin another Barak Obama?

You know, a left-wing thug?

Very, very interesting. When Paul Johnson, whom I consider to be an outstanding historian of Europe, speaks, I listen.

In truth, I am worried about the rise of a Hitler in this country more than what is going on in Russia.

Yes, they are firming up the gas chambers as we speak. What do you think they are doing with the stadiums in Sochi, now that the Olympics are over? /sarc

Which Head of State is actively threatening the freedom and liberty of American citizens?

That’s the guy to write articles about.

Hint: it isn’t Putin.

“A leaflet distributed in Donetsk, Ukraine calling for all Jews over 16 years old to register as Jews marred the Jewish community’s Passover festivities Monday (Passover eve), replacing them with feelings of concern.The leaflet demanded the city’s Jews supply a detailed list of all the property they own, or else have their citizenship revoked, face deportion and see their assets confiscated.”

I wish people worried as much about what Obama is doing as what Putin is doing.

No, Putin is not a Hitler because he doesn’t hate the jews like the Ukraine government, US is supporting

Time to rouse the patriotic white male demographic to yet another foreign war. It might work, but I’m betting the country’s slide to YugoMerica with its dominant political party being composed of fairies and racialists of the non-patriotic variety this won’t be another Red, White and Blue 2002. Or succinctly the next great war better not last too many EBT replenishment cycles.

Yet Obama makes no decisive moves. What ails the man? Is it cowardice? Indecision?

No. It's flexibility.

If Putin is another Hitler, then we know for sure that Obama is another Neville Chamberlain as it concerns Europe. Besides, Putin can conquer as much territory as he wants. There is nothing that Obama and his lesbian/homosexual/bisexual/transgender/queer army can do about it.

Paul Johnson is an OUTSTANDING historian.

His “A History of the American People” is the best summary of the subject, a superior alternative to the agitprop of Howard Zinn.

I will listen carefully to his analysis.

Well then the Ukrainians played right into his hand with that coup.

Is that: history doesn’t repeat itself but it rhymes?

Russia's Far East Turning Chinese
The Chinese are invading Russia — not with tanks, but with suitcases. Alexander Shaikin, in charge of controlling the Russian-Chinese border, said on June 29 that 1.5 million people from China have illegally entered the Russian Far East over the past 18 months.
