It incorporates far-right elements. It has been waging a war against its own citizens in the east of the country, killing many of them. Moreover, Putin's ambitions are not remotely comparable to Hitler's. He is aware of his country's weaknesses, such as its declining population, but sees himself as the protector of ethnic Russians everywhere. I would say that comparisons with the Sudeten crisis are, to put it mildly, deeply misleading and likely to lead us astray, perhaps disastrously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
