"We do not have the right to forget the causes of any war, which must be sought in the mistakes and errors of peacetime. Moreover, in our time, these threats are not diminishing [in U.S. foreign policy]. They are only transforming, changing their appearance. In these new threats - as during the time of the Third Reich - are the same contempt for human life and the same claims of exceptionality and diktat in the world." - Vladimir Putin
Former President of the Russian Federation - PM Vladimir Putin
By linking America's foreign policy to the Third Reich, president Putin sounds more like his ideological friends president Ahmadinejad, president Chavez, and president Asad, who blindly hate the United States.

Excerpts: Putin's address
Mr Putin said that "nations are witnessing an almost "uncontained" hyper use of force in international relations". "One state, the United States, has overstepped its national borders in every way." "This is very dangerous. Nobody feels secure anymore because nobody can hide behind international law." "This is nourishing an arms race with the desire of countries to get nuclear weapons."
Mr. Putin being a former student of the School of KGB had learned very well one of the most cunning tricks of ideological struggle: how to put your ideological opponent on defensive by using half-trues. Thus your ideological opponent gets busy with explanations that all your accusations are groundless and unsubstantiated. As a result, it makes your ideological opponent look much less convincing while presenting pure facts. Among those facts are the following: Mr. Putin is the best friend of all mortal enemies of the United States - North Korea, Venezuela, and such states as Iran and Syria sponsoring Terrorism.
Mr. Putin officially supplies all these enemies of the United States with nuclear technology, missiles,and conventional arms. Mr. Putin overtly endorses terrorists of Hamas, and never recognized Hamas and Hesballah as terrorist organizations.
