Kissinger: Putin Not a Hitler

"I don't agree with Putin," he declares, "but why didn't somebody, somewhere along the road, propose a solution that would have addressed both sides' concerns within the context of an independent Ukraine? When Europe said Ukraine has to choose between Europe and Russia in a commercial negotiation, [maybe] saying the opposite, saying let's do it together, might have made great progress."

"It's easy to demonise Putin," he continues. "Of course he's not easy, but one has seen that type of Russian leader before ? and he's not a Hitler. One shouldn't discuss it in terms of one Russian leader. The question is how does one visualise the long-term relationship of Russia to the West at a moment when Asia is transforming itself and Islam is in permanent upheaval?"

These guys have some common business. So it's very naive to expect something else from him.

Hitler never used subterfuge. He had the balls to take what he wanted.

So in that respect, Putin is not like Hitler.

So just because they're in photos together, they're doing "business"?

All it proves is that Kissinger knows Putin and that just adds weight to what he says about the character of Putin.

genocide balls?

Forget about photos. All Putin's business is on the West (in the EU and States). His money there (e.g. Abramovich), his business (e.g. Gunvor) is here. Even both his daughters are there (yes, physically). These facts should tell enough even to a complete idiot. Putin is a hand of the West in Russia and that's not a joke. While these guys are playing drama queens for the public, their money simple work for themselves.

Pretty ballsy...yes. If we can be objective about it.

I wasn't thinking about the genocide part of his legacy, but more of the land grabbing aspect. He wanted Poland, so he took it. He didn't create a proxy war to mask his intentions.

Yeah, Osventsim, Dachau, KZ Mauthausen, Богдановка, Bełżec, Sobibor etc. I see you are so proud of him for his "balls" :disgust
