Heh. The Chairman of the Czech Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee, Karel Schwarzenberg, basically just straight-up said that Putin is acting like Adolf Hitler.

According to the chairman of the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee Karel Schwarzenberg (TOP 09) ” …a clear attempt at expansion of power of the Russian Federation, its connection with the Crimea and its important naval base in Sevastopol to Russia .” The arguments of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who deployed troops in Ukraine claiming the need to protect local Russian citizens, are the same arguments Adolf Hitler used during the occupation of a foreign country . Schwarzenberg said, “Hitler always said that we must protect the local Germans. It’s very clear that this is not about the protection of Russian citizens, who are not being attacked and are perfectly safe” .

I can’t say I disagree with Mr. Schwarzenberg. Not one damned bit. He is a very well-known parliamentarian and was previously Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Edit….meant to say “disagree with Mr. Schwarzenberg.”
