Hillary Clinton was at a fundraiser last night and had some choice words for Premiere Putin. Appears, she doesn't care for his action and likens him to Hitler. I don't necessarily disagree with her, but I'd have to say that analogy may not be the best ... seeing how the Germans and the Russian's don't love each other.
Which brings me to another point, I don't see how the negotiations between Merkel and Putin will go well. The media keeps portraying a strong partnership between the Germans and the Russians. I suppose no on asked the Germans or the Russians about their partnership because history doesn't seem to agree with that relationship. And from personal reflection (when I lived over there), they don't like each other.
Anywhoo, some of Hillary's comments from Politico:
"Both Saltzgaver and a second fundraiser attendee, who requested anonymity, described Clinton’s parallel between the actions of Putin and Adolf Hitler, who resettled tens of thousands of ethnic Germans in Eastern and Central Europe to Nazi Germany.
“She compared issuing Russian passports to Ukrainians with ties to Russia with early actions by Nazi Germany before Hitler began invading neighboring countries,” Saltzgaver added. “She said, however, that while that makes people nervous, there is no indication that Putin is as irrational as the instigator of World War II.”
“She talked about how what Putin is doing now is similar to what Hitler did, essentially providing these ethnic Russians in the Crimea region access back to Russia,” a second attendee told BuzzFeed. “And that it was destabilizing.”
