The Russian people are not laughing. Not only is President Vladimir Putin highly respected by them, they also vividly remember that Hitler killed 20 million of their people. Hitler and WW2 is no laughing matter for Russians. It may take a generation for the Russians to trust the American people again.
Forbes, the magazine about and for the 1%, asked: "Is Vladimir Putin another Adolph Hitler?" It answered its own question in the affirmative.
Forbes warned of the lessons of WW2: "Hitler marched into the Rhineland..the Allies did nothing..Hitler marched into Austria..the Allies did nothing." Forbes says that now, like Neville Chamberlain, "Obama does nothing". [HERE]
TIME magazine says that Putin is the "New Hitler". It even runs a cover with Putin looking like Hitler.
The Observer's Lincoln Mitchell tries a different approach: "Is Vladimir Putin a Wimp or a Russian Hitler?" He says Putin is a wimp, but a dangerous one "who remains popular at home, is an authoritarian, a kleptocrat with no respect for the sovereignty of his neighbors". [HERE]
Russian dissidents, like the darling of the West, Garry Kasparov, is a "Putin is Hitler" parrot [HERE]. He says that Putin is a "one man dictator like Adolph Hitler" and that the West is weak to rule out military force against him. [HERE]
Garry Kasparov is a strong supporter of Israel. He was a rabid neocon for the invasion of Iraq in 2002 and a war monger for a world war in the Middle East: "Baghdad remains the next stop but not the last. We must also have plans for Tehran and Damascus, not to mention Riyadh". [HERE]
When dissident Boris Nemtsov, founder of the "Union of Rightwing Forces" political party in Russia [HERE], was assassinated outside the Kremlin, the main stream media pointed the finger of guilt at Putin before the corpse was even cold. In a celebrative mood over the assassination of Nemtsov, the main stream media says that Putin is acting just like Hitler.
