Putin 2022 and Hitler 1944-1945

In 1944-1945 Hitler launched some 12,000 V-1 and 3,500 V-2 rockets, bombarding London, SE England and  Antwerp,  but  these new weapons were not accurate and could not hit precise targets -  they became weapons of mass terror, aimed at civilians, and while 12,000 were murdered  in England,  still they were not crushed.  


But their use was a sign  of Hitler's increasing desperation - and  failure 


Just like Putin in 2022  bombarding cities in Ukraine with rockets and  drones.

He can no more crush the people of FREE  Ukraine  in 2022 than Hitler could in 1944-45 in bombarding London.

Ольга Чубарева - Рiдна мати моя

клiп Ольги Чубаревої "Згадай,Україно"

UKRAINE, Putin and his Irish voice, *socialist and feminist* Dublin MEP Clare Daly

Ms Daly wants the 43 M people of Ukraine left totally defenceless in the face of Putin's aggression  - by 190,000 armed invaders whose conduct - in Nazi-style massacres as in BUCHA, NW of the National Capital KYIV,  are clearly not random but systematic - exactly like  that of Hitler's 3,000 EINSATZ-GRUPPEN 81 years before

 

Daly proclaims  [ as ideology & dogma, but not based on evidence ]  that  Diplomacy is the only answer - well it was tried - Hitler in 1938 signed a piece of paper with Chamberlaine at MUNICH -  we know how that ended. 


But it was also tried with Putin in recent months  - he assured us he would not invade.


And he had also signed the Dec 5, 1994 BUDAPEST MEMO whereby Ukraine gave u all its Nuclear Weapons and in turn he undertook to respect its freedom and sovereignty and terrirotial integrity. But he THRICE  violated that  solemn written international commitment  - in Feb 2014 in invading Crimea [10,100 Square Miles ] and  then in April invading the  Donbas region in SE Ukraine [  invading 3,234 Square Miles of Luhansk Province, and 3,437  Square Miles of Donetsk Province to its South   - about 1/3rd of each ]  and now invading both North, East & South  Ukraine from Thursday Feb 2022 - as well as launching Missile attacks all over the country. 


So how does *Diplomacy*  stop that ? 

 

Or does Daly even want to stop this SERIAL Russian IMPERIALIST aggression ?


And as a woman and *feminist*, would Daly ever dare tell any woman that she - or any anybody else -   may never use force to prevent her RAPE ?


Rape is very relevant because on Monday Feb 7, 2022, at a joint Press Conference with Pres Macron, Putin talking about  Ukraine - referenced it when be echoed sickening lyrics [ *Sleeping Beauty in a Coffin* ] of a Soviet-era Punk band *Red Mold*


Only the quasi-fascist hard-right fringe  among MEPs [ like German AfD ] plus Daly and Wallace and  their  fringe hard-left [ including  German ex-Reds of *Die Linke*   - who gave us both  the Berlin Wall and the Stasi ] now echo Putin.


Lets recall that if she or Wallace seek re-election  as MEPs
