"Putin" must be the russian word for "balls"

“The Western allies didn’t abound with any special humanity,” the Russian leader said. “It’s incomprehensible to me to this day why Dresden was destroyed. There was no military reason for it.”

Well golly, there must've been lots of military reasons for the Soviet Union starving West Berlin civilians after the war. I guess the laughing Herr schoerder must've forgotten all about that when Putin then goes on the say this:

In an interview to appear in Bild’s Friday newspaper, Putin said that his and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s war experiences made Russians and Germans more appreciative of life, freedom and the importance of good relations with their neighbors.

Yeah, I guess that machine gun and barbed wire wall that used to grace Herr Schroeders capital city was just an urban renewal project. People were murdered there Herr Schroeder, German People. Your People. By the KGB, Herr Schroeder! Theres a KGB guy standing right next to you, His name is Vladimir, and he's got "misty eyes" for the good old days when he could just snatch people off the streets at will and have the tortured. Remember how fun it was to have SS-20 ballistic missles aimed at your freaking capital? Wasnt that just a hoot? Well pay attention "Gerhard", because that festering goon standing next to you was part of the apparatus that forced marched half of your current voters into slavery. Yeah, he's your pal. Laugh away you sickening fat bastard...

Oh, and how about that oh so loving Soviet policy of enforced rape on the German female populace? Remember that? Well here's a big smack with the "cluebat" for you Herr Schroeder, don't talk to elderly German women about how nice the Soviet Union was when it "came to town", you won't like their response. And how 'bout the Red Army standing aside while the Warsaw Ghetto uprising occured? yeah, lots of good military sense in that Mr. Putin, sure...

Oh, and heres my favorite line from this "pantload":

"The Soviet Union or the Red Army can’t be blamed for that,” Putin said in what a Bild editor said was one of the longest interviews Germany’s top-selling daily has ever published. “It wasn’t the Soviet Union that started the war.”

Oh really? Gosh, now what two countries in Europe in pre-world war II signed a non-agression treaty with each other? Was it Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union? Yes it was kids, yes it was. They were allies, they supported each other. You there, in the UK and France, while your grandads and grandmums were being bombed in Dunkirk and London, the Soviets were allies at that time with the Nazis! makes you feel all warm and crinkly for the good ole Soviets now doesnt it.

Now, of course we all know that Germany gets credit for starting World War II because it invaded Poland in September 1939, but do you know who else invaded Poland in September 1939? Thats right kids, the Soviet Union. There was only one army in Europe big enough to stop Hitler and the nazis and that was the Soviet Red Army.

Only they didn't stop Hitler, they helped him. The Poles werent defeated because they were on horseback against the tanks of the Nazis, they were defeated because they were attacked from two fronts simultaneously, By Nazis and Soviets. The Soviet Union could've stopped World War II cold had it chose to be a force for civilization or it could have been neutral, but no, they actually took steps to help Hitler destroy the rest of "the decadent west". It wasnt until Hitler, in what has to be the the "cherry on the top" of all of his supposedly "genius" ideas decided to attack and subjugate the Soviet Union that they became enemies, that, dear friends was a couple of years down the road from the official start of WWII.

Mr. Putin, You jackass, you and your bloodthirsty KGB bastards subjugated the continent after your policy of scorched earth in east germany and poland rendered the civilian population to that less than slave status.

I'll talk to Germans about Dresden because I think they have a legitimate gripe, but I'll be damned if a nostalgic soviet dictator is going to lecture me and my country or the English on atrocities.

What balls this guy has. This guy makes me sick to my stomach.

I think that I'd chat with Brits that lived in Coventry in November of 1940 before listening to German gripes about Dresden...Outside of that, I'd say that you're hitting the subject dead-on and that's not just because I've posted similar thoughts at my blog. The Russian Government's manipulation of Victory Day celebrations to advance their own nationalist position and attempt to diminish the west is beginning to make me nauseous.

I saw a documentary somewhere once that tried to show that Hitler had Parkinson's disease. They used that to explain why he attacked Russia when and how he did. And why he made so many bone-head decisions toward the end.

I think they did a pretty good job of showing he probably did have it.
