Hillary Clinton has described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “the
new Hitler” …yet a few days ago Germany reported their plan to send
their best tanks to the border between Lithuania and Russia to augment
the armies of other NATO countries now abutting Russia, since the US had
long ago reneged on its promise NOT to move NATO forces to the
boundary. Given that Hitler’s Germany attacked Russia (not the other way
around) and that Russian casualties in World War II were the highest of
any other country (over 20 million!!!), doesn’t it seem that Hillary
and the US “mainstream media” are inviting WW III …presumably on the
false supposition that Russia is weak? When I was in grade school the
“Cold War” was on, and the media constantly told us to crawl under of
desks if a Russian attack was imminent. However, that was back when
nuclear weapons were in their infancy, so the thought of monster weapons
that could kill us all was not yet possible. So why are Hillary, her
