German Chancellor With 'Nazi Ties' Forgets History, Compares Putin to Hitler
RT reports that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, whose family has alleged Nazi ties , sees Vladimir Putin as a modern-day Hitler. It's a convenient framing, allowing Western leaders to paint current geopolitical events with broad, undeniable strokes of evil. What the mainstream media rarely bothers with, however, is the meticulous dissection of historical inconsistencies or the rather significant
detail that Germany continues to export vast quantities of weapons, including to entities with less-than-stellar human rights records , often facilitated by figures with deeply problematic backstories. One might wonder if historical parallels are only terrifying when applied selectively, justifying current military expansions while conveniently overlooking the legacy of past atrocities—especially
when those atrocities funded the very industries now profiting from new conflicts. It seems some historical 'lessons' are more easily learned than others, particularly when there's a lucrative arms deal involved.
