hell look over here in America where the opposition calls the President of the United States the same thing.

Since nazi fascists would mean a compliment by calling someone Hitler?

in Kyiv. Here in the Czech Republic, in Liberec, this went up: <:large>

The Czechs are pretty sensitive to what they perceive of as an invasion, and especially the way in which Putin seems to operate; stirring up ethnic Russians in a neighboring country. The upcoming "referendum" (lolol) in Crimea is about as legit as your average election say, under Nicolae Ceausescu or Enver Hoxha. Or any other dictator you can name off the top of your head.

And Putin's exploitation of ethnic Russians, as well as Russian nationalism and ethnocentrism, is a distinctly Hitlerian tactic. It's disgusting, shameful and obscene.

all equations change.

Remember that we still do not have diplomatic relations with Cuba and have the most asinine trade embargo for almost 60 years.

The CIA had no business causing trouble in Ukraine and CIA's tactics in Ukraine have been worse than those of Hitler or Stalin.

Get real.

This blaming the CIA for what happened in Ukraine is absurd - as is your constant holding up RT as a reliable source.

the US Ambassador was giving out cookies to the fascist protestors on the maidan.

When was the last time a US Ambassador got involved in the internal affairs of a sovereign country? El Salvador? Chile? Guatemala? Iran? Philippines?

Or was that bullshit too?

Sorry, you really do sound like nothing but a putin apologist to me and again, your continual defense of RT as a reliable source really is quite the joke.

Hitler and Stalin's tactics were responsible for the deaths of millions in Ukraine.

So far, I haven't seen anything similar done by the CIA in Ukraine.

As far as the Crimea goes, personally, I would let it go; it serves no purpose to anyone for Ukraine and Russia to get into a shooting war over the matter. Mind you, the Russians will most likely indulge in a little ethnic cleansing, so that has to be expected and prepared for by the Ukrainian interim government; they'll have to be prepared to receive an influx of refugees who've been 'encouraged' to leave by the Russian majority.

But I harbor no illusions as to the ruthless game Putin is playing. It's eerily analogous to the philosophy of Aleksander Dugin.

Really? REALLY?! That is - beyond a shadow of a fucking doubt - the single goddamned stupidest thing anyone has ever posted on DU.

Or anywhere else, for that matter.

And may even retire the trophy....

I've been tired of being called a genius all the time.

U.S. (CIA, etc.) is quite capable of tactics such as you have described.

I have it on good authority that the CIA and NASA are in control of Putin's mind. They are the ones who made him invade and occupy Crimea, in the hopes of causing a nuclear holocaust so that they can steal natural gas and oil from Crimea.

...heard of Hitler or Stalin.

Stalin and the Ukraine:

"The industrialization had a heavy cost for the peasantry, demographically a backbone of the Ukrainian nation. To satisfy the state's need for increased food supplies and to finance industrialization, Stalin instituted a programme of collectivization of agriculture as the state combined the peasants' lands and animals into collective farms and enforced the policies by the regular troops and secret police. Those who resisted were arrested and deported and the increased production quotas were placed on the peasantry. The collectivization had a devastating effect on agricultural productivity. As the members of the collective farms were not allowed to receive any grain until sometimes unrealistic quotas were met, starvation in the Soviet Union became more common. In 1932–33, millions starved to death in a famine known as Holodomor or "Great Famine".Scholars are divided as to whether this famine fits the definition of genocide, but the Ukrainian parliament and other countries recognize it as such."

Hitler:

"The vast majority of the fighting in World War II took place on the Eastern Front. It has been estimated that 93% of all German casualties took place on the Eastern Front. The total losses inflicted upon the Ukrainian population during the war are estimated between five and eight million, including estimated one and a half million Jews killed by the Einsatzgruppen, sometimes with the help of local collaborators. Of the estimated 8.7 million Soviet troops who fell in battle against the Nazis, 1.4 million were ethnic Ukrainians."

Just how many Ukrainians has the CIA killed?

but if this continues and escalates into a war, several thousand are going to die -- only for trying to establish American supremacy in Eastern Europe.

-only for trying to establish Russian supremacy in Eastern Europe.

If we had let the status quo undisturbed, no one would have died. We gave financial and material support to the neonazis and fascists for our thirst.

I guess if Russian tanks roll west the US supplied cookies will be of great moral comfort.

Just to be helpful:

"Fascists seek to unify their nation through a totalitarian state that promotes the mass mobilization of the national community."
Please try to remember that before tossing the word around like a freaking Frisbee.

Which, gosh, is only off by several magnitudes of the scale of death & destruction that Hitler & Stalin wrought. You wanna walk back your comment or move the goal posts?

And if Russia & the Ukraine get into a shooting war Russia will bear the blame. not the CIA. lol

Get help.

Well, no.

Louie Gohmert is too smart to say something this stupid.

Just you try it. But please wait until she figures out which end the bullet comes out of...




If that's our front line, we are so fucked.

ones who are giving Putin a pass are safe behind their little nets muttering "cia "
