The Full List Of People Who Think Putin Is The New Hitler
When Hillary Clinton compared Russia's incursion into Ukraine to the early days of Nazi Germany's expansion, she joined an illustrious band who have compared Russian President Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler since the 2008 Georgia crisis.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): "If you could go back in time, would you have allowed Adolf Hitler to host the Olympics in Germany? To have the propaganda coup of inviting the world into Nazi Germany and putting on a false front?"
Former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezisnki (in 2008): Putin is "following a course that is horrifyingly similar to that taken by Stalin and Hitler in the 1930s."
And again today: Called Putin "a partially comical imitation of (former Italian Prime Minister Benito) Mussolini and a more menacing reminder of Hitler."
Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird: "The Sudetenland had a majority of Germans. That gave Germany no right to do this in the late 1930s."
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper: "We haven't seen this kind of behavior since the Second World War."
Anti-Putin activist and former chess champion Garry Kasparov: "Intentionally or not, the Putin regime has followed the Berlin 1936 playbook quite closely for Sochi."
Russian historian Andrey Zubov: "This has all happened before. Austria. Early March, 1938. The Nazis want to build up their Reich at the expense of another state."
British actor and gay rights activist Stephen Fry: "He is making scapegoats of gay people, just as Hitler did Jews. He cannot be allowed to get away with it."
International security expert Jonathan Eyal: "The Sudetenland option is not his first priority, but it is his fail safe priority."
Russian satirist Viktor Shenderovich: In reference to Russian figure skater Yulia Lipnitskaya, Shenderovich said he liked her "very much! But if you only knew how much Berliners in the summer of 1936 liked shot putter Hans Woelke ... a smiling, handsome young man who symbolized the youth of the new Germany!"
We are sure there are plenty more to come...

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the call to Putin was made.
Obama: "You call him"
Kerry: "no, YOU call him. You are the President"
So if Putin is the new Hitller does that make Zero the new Stalin?
Stalin? Nope. He's the new General Butt Naked.
(Just wait until he realizes he has no clothes on.)
I saw him more as General Rambo, or maybe General Mosquito, or how could we forget General Mosquito Spray. Ahh Liberia.
And folks there is only one thing between them and the next World War they will start. The American People!
Make that thought part of your daily constitutional, but might I suggest that you act on it before it's too late!
The American people will rise up and put a stop to WWIII just as soon as it starts to interfere with the TV schedule.
Except that the western media will just turn WWIII into some pathetic docu-drama-reality thing with celebrity generals in order to keep the plebs planted firmly on their couches.
As if the destruction of civilisation wasn't depressing enough, most of the population will be sitting mesmerized in front of the TV lapping it up right until the moment a nuke goes off above their heads.
No, it will be like a never ending olympics. Just something else to watch.
Well Hitler didn't have nukes. He couldn't turn all our cities into scorched piles of toxic rubble. Putin on the other hand can. Demonize him all you want with silly Hitler comparisons, but you better respect the power. There is a reason you don't mess with a skunk.
Detroit came to mind when I read "scorched piles of toxic rubble".
And maybe some zero hedge commenters - current and former.
The fact is that when a big military powers move militarily like this it's culturally very addictive and there is always a new justification to do it again at the slightest provocation, or even none, and if there isn't a justification, you manufacture one.
Have a close look at the list of the use of US Air Force and Naval power since Grenada, and then simultaneously look at the MSM cheer-leading that occurred in each instance. I knew at the time that Grenada was a departure point for war, Panama followed soon after, then we were off to the races, the wars came thick and fast after that, even as people were saying that war was becoming less of a problem.
Same thing will happen with Russia, even if we forget the large internal wars in Russia, we now have Georgia (which was most definitely an invasion and annexation with its roots in the break-up of the Soviet Union era) and Crimea's invasion and likely annexation.
This is in fact much like what Israel did with the Jordanian West bank, then the Syrian Golan Heights, and the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula (but had to give it back) to create an expanded strategic buffer.
And China is certainly on the same track, desirous of a military move, but finds itself frustrated by some real non-BSing heavy opposition, right on its doorstep.
Think about where this is going, we have three increasingly aggressive economically stressed major power blocks (four if we add the European arm of NATO), all now culturally and politically addicted to the use of naval and air power, strutting their stuff, while rattling their funky light-sabres, pretending to be the good guys.
Does this sound stable and viable to you?
I do not think Putin is any sort of new 'Hitler', or new 'Stalin', that is just beyond daft, rank propaganda. Putin is the Russin leader, nothing else, and people painting him as some such stereo-type are fools. We better get along with this guy and not be so stupid as to disrespect and demonize him as that would be a major error in basic national or western diplomatic strategy, and likely to yield extremely negative results in time.
But it is an error I'm sure the military industrial machine and Washington neo-cons, and Western MSM are more than willing to make, as these can not be seen as other than the very counter-productive, destabilizing, destructive influences, in the world today, and recent decades, that conspired to create these conflicts, and the bogie-man hate-symbol syndrome needed for the international propaganda machine.
former and current- yes and yes

get your "facts" straight!
Russia neither invaded Georgia nor annexed Ossetia.
one of the hoariest canards of the Ukraine crisis: that Russian would recapitulate its actions of 2008, when it invaded Georgia. This assertion has been made by Reuters, AP, and I think quite a few others.
The facts—internationally recognized facts, I should say—was that Georgia used the occasion of the Beijing Olympics to launch a carefully planned invasion to recapture the breakaway province of South Ossetia—which was at the time autonomous under a truce agreement negotiated by Russia, Georgia, and the Ossetians in Sochi in 1993. The Georgians massed 12,000+ troops against 1000 Russian peacekeepers and a few hundred Ossetian militia. Georgia had apparently not anticipated a Russian intervention, and its forces were completely routed when the Russians indeed counterattacked.
Hopefully, the Georgia parallel will stand up in one regard: that the Russians promptly withdrew from Georgian territory after their objectives were met. And they did not annex South Ossetia; they allowed it to declare independence instead.
http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/03/04/skullduggery-in-ukraine/
I am well aware of the history of that entire conflict, from late Soviet times forward and I stand by what I said. It is clear the Russians will fight to retain South Ossetia. The independence is just the mechanism that keeps the break-away of Russian colonists in place. It is thus a defacto annexation and incorporation of a part of Georgia into Moscow's sphere and it is 100% dependent on Moscow to defend it, and for its existence, thus is totally beholden to Moscow's policies and wishes. Plus South Ossetia contains the one and only strategic road logistics tunnel, linking Russia to Georgia.
That is patently clear, so on the contrary, I suggest that you need to take the propaganda blinkers off, and look at the implications and strategic realities of South Ossetia, and its progression up to this point. The Russians infiltrated the area and carved it out of Georgia and have moved to secure a crucial strategic logistics and trade corridor that leads into Russia. Moscow does not want anyone else controlling or obtaining open access to it. I can understand why they did that, but it does not change the fact of what they've done there.
The Georgians have no such confusion about Moscow having annexed a part of Georgian territory, and if you were a Georgian you would have no doubt about that either.
So just how many families, wedding parties, and funerals has Putin droned across the globe?.......... Crickets? That's what I thought.
Comparing Putin to Hitler is an insult to Adolf....
He was in a special class all by himself...
Putin and Mobuto Sese Seko is more apt...
It's a little interesting. How come all the leaders I like are always getting called "Hitler?"
"It's a little interesting. How come all the leaders I like are always getting called "Hitler?"
You insensitive bastard. You'll never get laid with statements like that!
In Russia, you have to appear strong. In the west, you have to appear weak. It's a cultural thing. In the end this is about as far as both sides are willing to go against each other.
Every last one of them jew-loving israel firsters.
Both Russia and China learned their lesson from Hitler - you cannot dominate the world with an army. Instead, you can dominate it today by controlling energy, or by controlling global manufacturing. You develop a trade surplus, then use the laws of the developed nations to buy the assets you want, while leaving those nations stripped of resources and manufacturing capabilities.
Works great too. But keep in mind, Russia is a resources giant too.
It does not need more land or resources, and its population is not high, and they are not, this time, ideologically motivated to seek global revolution, so much more benign in general at that level.
In other words, this is about securing Russian strategic security and trade links and not much else.
In other words, the threat by Obama (et al), to attack trade, finances and economy, will lead to conflict between Russia and the west, if Washington and Brussels dopes escalate it, in that way.
And I'm not at all sure they won't.
It looks like they will, so now is the time to tell them to, cool it.
Clinton can't rally the troops. He's Hitler as soon as Palin says he's Hitler.
The only thing that we have learned from Hitler is that we have not learned anything from Hitler. The games that were being played around his era are still being played.
As they were before Hitler. There's nothing new under the sun really in terms of human behavior, just moar and better technology with which to do it and quantify it. Take printing for example...
And what are they gonna do when they label you as a "BELLIGERENT"
Pot calling the kettle black..
the irony is lost on these craven people. the real hitlers calling anyone who opposes them hitler. does this mean they will kill themselves this time? and blame themselves? the ultimate victim, a victim of themselves.
Hitler is back, but this time he's Black!
Well, black and yellow.
hitler is the new antisemite since that epitaph has been worn out. same ol shit but you know what side they are on. they haven't figured that out yet. the jersey shore kardasian crowd don't even know who he is or what he looks like.
Is it ok if I think both Putin and Obama are the new Hitler?
Those things in human form from Washington D.C. what they say doesn't matter.
This should be balanced by the number of people who depicts Obama, your typical 'american' president, as Hilter.
That makes a lot of Hitler around when there are so many 'americans' actually...
Well, it rather seems that many people depict Obama as the Antichrist, someone a bit worser than Adolf!
And Swedish foreign minister, Carl Bildt, compared Yanukovich to Quisling.
the same gang of idiots who lied us into Iraq/Iran are now trying to jump start a cold war......and John Kerry-the man who threw away his Viet Nam Medals is now the NWO's bitch
they are all buffoons and idiots in DC....
Hitler kicked ass for quite a few years. Putin seems to be doing the same (tough luck Ozero). So maybe Putin is the new Hitler.
unfortunately,
Hitler was unable to unite The Great White North.
Hopefully, Putin and Merkel will be up to this task.
We've got Putin right where we want him.
With a list like that calling you down, there must be some good in Putin.
I KNOW "they" are all psychopaths.
"Godwin's Law (or Rule) of Nazi Analogies[1][2] ("As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1")[2][3] is an Internet adagepromulgated by American attorney and author Mike Godwin in 1990.[2] It asserts, in other words, that if an online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler, Nazis or Nazism."
Don't forget, the NAZIS were by definition Socialists (they were also Fascists at the same time). What singles them out is how extremely nasty they were. What should concern us is not Putin, but what is happening here in the US. Socialism and Fascism under Bush and Obama are circumventing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights under the guise of "National Security".
[insert epithet here], please.
Assholes one and all.
The military industrial international mafia boys are afraid the whor on terr's skirt is getting a little tattered: you can see her pussy.
Now we have to puff up old enemies great and small.
There should be a period of NO ops, no operations, no extended intrigues, and we must scale back the erosion of Constitutional Law and centuries of human progress, including serious constraints on corporations. If corporations are "individuals", they need to pay taxes like Joe Blow.
Putin and Russia have not responded in nearly as forceful and violent a fashion as the USA and our assclown leader would have under similar circumstances. What would the USA have done if Russia formed a "defensive" alliance with Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, Columbia, and assorted other Central and south American nations and began installing "defensive" missle systems? And then what would the USA do if Russia's "State Dept" hatched and began implementing a scheme to overthrow the elected government of Mexico and replace it with a puppet leader being directed from Moscow? The words thermonuclear explosion come immeditely to mind. The west has been trying to tame the Russian Bear for decades. They now have cornered a very threatened and angry bear on it's own home turf. They better remember that big bear is one dangerous animal and posesses some seriously scary teeth and claws, and will use them if it is pushed. I wish we had a leader as clever and sensible as Putin. Obama is an idiot criminal and should be prosecuted for high treason. He has done more harm to this nation than any other president in history. Period.
Psst...
The Russians tried that once and there were basically laughed at by those they courted...
They can barely project power on their borders let alone halfway across the world...
And yes, Putin and Co. are still very dangerous but are infinitely manageable....
As for the Ukraine/Crimea, look the chess board before and after and then you will realize that Putin did not gain anything he didn't already effectively had but squandered...
Don't they realize those propaganda tactics aren't effective anymore. Actually, that comparison is rather benign once you unlearn all the mass propaganda you were taught in school about Germany and the alleged holocaust. Just look at the atrocities committed by the banker backed Roosevelt and Stalin.
