Hello Michiel,
[..]
DP>> But yes, the Netherlands did very badly in WWII, especially in
DP>> comparison to Belgium, for example:
MvdV> And now you are doing it again. I asked "why did you not vote Putin out when
MvdV> you still could" and all you come up with are diversions, fake arguments
MvdV> and subject chenges.
In all fairness to Dmitry, it should be kept in mind that Putin
gained power through legal means, same as Hitler. Once in office,
Hitler did exactly what he had promised to the German people.
He was Germany's savior, as well as the savior for all Germanic
peoples. In that sense, Putin is no different than Hitler.
And you know what? Germans loved him. Over 90% of the German
population were members of the Nazi Party (National Socialists).
They loved Hitler, and what he promised to give (or return) to
them. After all, it was their Germany.
Does that make the German people "evil"? I think not.
How can you blame Russians who thought Putin would give them
what they wanted? Yeltsin named Putin as Prime Minister, and
then quit as president. Then Putin was elected president,
through legal means. A new constitution was written ... Putin
got rid of lesser parties (made them inconsequential), and
had his own party firmly in place to ensure his own place.
Does that make the Russian people "evil"? I think not.
If Russia is to change, it will do so in the same way it always
has - through revolution. That is the way the Russian bear does
things. When in a skiffle with one of her cubs, she does so
underneath a rug. This is what is happening today with Ukraine.
At some point, smaller bears challenge papa bear and only one
bear emerges. The only question remaining is where will papa bear
go if there is no place else for him to go? We know what happened
to the Czar and his family ...
MvdV> It reminds me of the one who's name shall not be mentioned.
Let me guess! Let me guess!
MvdV> Regarding the answer to my question, all that I can deduct from your
MvdV> postings is that you were not intersted in politics...
Politics is the art of interpersonal relationships.
That is how Hitler gained power, through legal means.
That is how Putin gained power, through legal means.
Not by making threats, but by giving people what they
want or most desire.
And what does the politician want in return? Not much.
Just a little love, and affection. And you know what that
means -
Once you give something, you cannot take it away.
For Life,
Lee
