Stephen Harper, John Baird compare Russia to WW II era Germany (http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/stephen-harper-john-baird-compare-russia-to-ww-ii-era-germany-1.2559643)

Whose Harper trying to be another Obama, Bush? :rolleyes:



Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has repeated his charge that Russia's occupation of Crimea is like Germany's annexation of Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia, just before the Second World War in 1938.

I swear its like both Harper, Obama are reading from the same script. For both leaders to be comparing whats occurring in Crimea to what Germany did to Czechoslovakia in 1938 isn't quite right, they should look more on the mirror and see the new map of Europe and then tell the public whose really an Nazi empire, and thats the EU.

And yet our leaders have the balls to compare Russia as the Nazis :rolleyes:

It's all in the playbook. The index of that playbook must be filled with references to Hitler.

The situation in the Crimea does actually bear some resemblance to the Sudentenland. For once, the Neocons knee jerk invocation of WWII actually falls somewhere near the mark. Of course, it should be no surprise that while they may get the analogy right, they draw the completely wrong conclusion from it. The Munich Agreement failed not because there was anything wrong with the deal on the merits, but rather because it was offered almost 20 years too late. Any German government prior to Hitler would have been more than happy to accept and honor the reasonable deal the West offered. The problem was the West waited until Germany had become so radicalized that they elected an unhinged ideologue who wasn't interested in reasonable offers before finally offering Germany one.

Putin is not Hitler. To contrary, Putin is a cold, calculating, practitioner of realpolitik. If Putin had been offered the Munich Agreement, he would have taken it happily and then sought a similar compromise for the Polish Corridor and that would have been the end of it. Contrary to the Neocons idiotic analysis, the similarities between the Crimea and the Sudetenland are precisely why we don't need to worry about what Putin is doing.
