Prince Charles has sensationally likened Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler.
In a withering verdict on the actions of the Russian president in Ukraine, he told a woman who lost relatives in the Nazi Holocaust: ‘And now Putin is doing just about the same as Hitler.’

Obama has caused great damage to America and Americans.
Putin has not.
And Obama has caused more death, destruction and societal collapse around the world than Putin ever dreamed of.
“Why is it that people are not compared to Stalin?”
Very good point. It’s sadly amusing that these same people who are complaining about Russia’s aggression and Putin’s intentions today, are in many cases the same ones who downplayed Reagan’s victory over the USSR in the Cold War by stating that ‘the Soviets never were that big of a threat’.
But he's made us so loved around the world......
“Who was the face of evil before Hitler?”
Easy answer - Kaiser Wilhelm. It was no accident that Adolf Hitler cultivated a facial appearance that was a caricature of “Kaiser Bill”. And the Kaiser, who at first supported the concept of National Socialism, was soon disillusioned, as the old aristocracy was swept away and replaced by coarse, vulgar men better fitted to be peasants. A nation that had once been the home of poets and musicians, artists and soldiers, had become nothing more than legions marching to hollow victories, a nation of hysterics and hermits, engulfed by a mob and led by a thousand liars and fanatics.
2. Umm...good question. Ummm..He looked a lot like Charlie Chaplin... OMG CHARLIE CHAPLIN was the face of EVIL!!! And I always thought "The Kid" was just a comedy...
Comparing Crimea to Poland, France, Czechoslovakia, etc. etc. is little bit a stretch huh Chucky?
He should have added: "And the West is doing just about the same as Neville Chamberlain."
Simply moronic. If there is anyone in Europe qualifying for Hitler status it is the satists in Belgium like Manuel Barosso.
Or maybe Mao
“Why is it that people are not compared to Stalin?”
Well now, Stalin & his USSR were our “heroic Soviet allies” during WWII and commie-dominated Hollywood played that up to the hilt. The Nazi era’s atrocities were extremely well documented by the Nazis themselves, while nothing was known about the horrors of the Soviet Gulag until Solzhenitsyn & Sakharov.
Stalin is still “good old Uncle Joe” to many. Pete Seeger, anyone?
Because our Commie-influenced educational system doesn’t want to teach people the truth about the former Soviet Union.
Death of Stalin - How Stalin Died
Stalin had suffered a series of minor strokes before 1953 and was generally in declining health. On the night of February 28th he watched a film at the Kremlin, then returned to his dacha, where he met with several prominent subordinates including Beria, head of the NKVD (secret police) and Khrushchev, who would eventually succeed Stalin. They left at 4:00 am, with no suggestion that Stalin was in poor health. Stalin then went to bed, but only after saying the guards could go off duty and that they weren’t to wake him.
Stalin would usually alert his guards before 10:00 am and ask for tea, but no communication came. The guards grew worried, but were forbidden from waking Stalin and could only wait: there was no one in the Dacha who could counter Stalin’s orders. A light came on in the room around 18:30, but still no call. Eventually, plucking up the courage to go in and using the arrived post as an excuse, a guard entered the room at 22:00 and found Stalin lying on the floor in a pool of urine. He was helpless and unable to speak, and his broken watch showed he had fallen at 18:30.
The guards felt they didn’t have the right authority to call for a doctor – indeed many of Stalin’s doctors were the target of a new purge – so instead they called the Minister of State Security. He also felt he didn’t have the right powers and called Beria. Exactly what happened next is still not fully understood, but Beria and other leading Russians delayed acting, possibly because they wanted Stalin to die and not include them in the forthcoming purge, possibly because they were scared of seeming to infringe on Stalin’s powers should he recover. They only called for doctors sometime between 7:00 and 10:00 the next day after first travelling to the Dacha themselves.
The doctors found Stalin partially paralysed, breathing with difficulty and vomiting blood. They feared the worst but were unsure. The best doctors in Russia, those which had been treating Stalin, had recently been arrested as part of the forthcoming purge and were in prison. Representatives of the doctors who were free and had seen Stalin went to the prisons to ask for the old doctors’ opinions, who confirmed the initial, negative, diagnoses. Stalin struggled on for several days, eventually dying at 21:50 on March 5th. His daughter said about the event: “The death agony was terrible. He literally choked to death as we watched.”
In before Prince Charles turns into a tampon.
Has Queen Elizabeth EVER, in over 50 years, said things without thought, things that put the monarchy on one side of an issue? I wonder if the odd but often sane wisdom of the Brits will skip Charles as king.
Charles could then immediately abdicate or retire and turn the crown over to William....but I don't see that happening under normal circumstances.

I’m about half way through William Manchester’s 3 volume biography of Churchill and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history. The parallel’s with Hitler’s use of ethnic protection excuses, plebiscites, piecemeal destruction of polyglot states, and military force to redress recent geopolitical setbacks is jarring.
Putin seems to lack Hitler’s mad and murderous obsession with hated minorities and outlanders, but may have studied his methods.
Today, are we in the west any more ready to commit ourselves to a horrible war to fulfill past commitments to small and vulnerable allies in eastern Europe than the democracies were in the late 1930’s?
Now you did it. You went and broke up the RonPaulian and isolationist replace-fest...love fest for Putin.
Yeah, “good old Uncle Joe” who stayed up late signing death edicts. That a good many on the left thought this guy was a hero tells you everything you need to know about liberal blindness and hypocrisy.
Because US media covers for Uncle Joe.
2. Who was Hitler compared to when he was still alive? ("That Hitler guy, he's just like...") Who was the face of evil before Hitler?
Genghis Khan.
A stampede of elephants.
