Putin
May Not Be Who You think He is, In Fact He May be the Reincarnation of Hitler!
Al Ritter
They both came from beginnings fairly similar. Hitler
was a Corporal in the German Army at the end of WWI. He was angry about the
Treaty of Versailles that ended the war because it stripped Germany of all the
power they once wielded.
Putin was an up and coming politician that had served
under the KGB before being promoted by Boris Yeltsin. Things were going well
for this young politician until Mikhail Gorbachev came onto the picture during
the Reagan Era. Putin’s heroes were Staling and Lenin, in fact his Grandfather
was their cook!
The once powerful country had suffered a horrible loss
during the war not only in power but in the respect of people. Adolph Hitler
intended to restore that respect any way he could. Other than writing Mein Kampf
while imprisoned for his part in an attempted coup, Hitler’s rise to power
could have been the training manual for Putin’s rise.
Putin suffered a political setback during the fall of
the USSR, but he was every bit as angry about the dissolving power of one of
the top two most powerful and feared countries in the world. Handing the number
1 spot back to the USA infuriated him.
He believed in “Natural Borders,” a term that few
understood outside his realm of personal pride, and so he took what he felt was
rightfully his and the first invasion was Czechoslovakia to free his Germanic
speaking people.
He believed that people that spoke his language were basically
the only reason that he needed to invade and annex another country, regardless
of what they actually believed in and so in 2014 he invaded Crimea, against
lame demands from the Obama Administration (remember the line in the sand?)
Working on the idea of nationalism and pride, he
promised his people that they would once again rise to be the most powerful
nation in the world. In March 1938 Hitler “Annexed” Austria. He actually rationalized
this invasion saying that he believed that Austria was always part of Germany.
Sea ports meant a great deal to him, and he would
physically take them as power plays to control massive areas of water through
his Navy, and Crimea was no exception, Putin grabbed that country an attempt to
seal a future invasion to annex all of the Ukraine. The Ukraine invasion was
planned long ago.
In the back of his mind he knew that he was wrong and
working against many treaties, some in fact were ones he even agreed to, but he
pushed forward regardless he obtained overall ruling power of Germany and no
country would challenge him or his need to “annex” countries. 11 Countries he
invaded. Norway, Sweden, Demark, and the Netherlands were all invasions to gain
more access to the Atlantic.
The Treaty he signed meant nothing as he continued to
build his war machine above and beyond what he agreed to weekly increasing his
military might. The question is what country would finally have the power to
stop him, nobody had so far. France and the UK certainly lacked the courage to
step up and say no you won’t invade another country! Hitler had slowly
increased the might of his military without so much as a whimper from the
powers to be that had written the Treaty of Versailles.
He was finally on a roll to rekindle the power and
might of one of the most feared powers, he would claim that he wasn’t even
thinking about invading while all the time sending huge numbers of troops to
the border. Then he claimed it was only to rescue his endangered Russian
speaking fellow countrymen from the Nazified groups also in the area. But that was
never his intension to free a small additional portion because he attacked from
the North, South, and East all at once, he wanted it all!
Absolute Power corrupts but Hitler and Putin are proof
of that, this isn’t to say that other countries aren’t corrupt, they are. Is
Ukraine corrupt? Of course! Is Russia corrupt? Absolutely! Is America
corrupt?........I think that goes without saying. Corruption will never be
fixed before I pass away, and I accept that. Corruption I am convinced will
never be defeated, but it shouldn’t keep us from trying to fix things!
Should it be the USA’s job to build democracies around
the world and overthrow dictators? That is a question above my pay grade and I’d
prefer to keep that thought to myself. Should we help little countries from
being swallowed up by larger ones? Absolutely! The formation of NATO in 1949
was created by AXIS powers because they knew after WWII what the USSR’s
intentions were. Why do you think that one of Putin’s main demands is that no
more countries join NATO?
In 2020 Putin has subverted the Russian Constitution
by way of Executive Order to allow him to be President without any term limits,
and the corrupt voting system there is far more advanced than ours in the USA,
so removing him from office may prove insurmountable for another 15 or more
years.
One thing is for certain, both of these vicious
dictators had the same thirst for power, both were upset at the past mistakes
by their countries (at least in their mind.) Both were serial liars and often bragged about it. Both wanted to fulfill their
destiny to return their countries to the power that a previous person in power
had relinquished decades ago. If someone hadn’t stepped up to the plate in the
40’s we would all be speaking German now. The question is, what country will
finally take an active role in the support of Ukraine?
