Putin urges vigilance against Nazism
He can't be talking about the good old USA, could he???



ORYOL, Russia, March 29 (UPI) -- The world must still guard against attempts to return to Nazism and theories of racial superiority, Russia's president warned Tuesday.

During the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in May 1945, special attention should be paid to attempts to rehabilitate Nazism, Putin said according to an Interfax news agency report.

1. I wouldn't read too much into it, he probably means the NPD in Germany..
For all the tit-for-tat rhetoric that has been coming out of Moscow RE:democratic reforms, it is not in Putin's interest to rhetorically alienate Bush THAT much.

3. There seems to be growing concern about a neonazi movements
in Germany. Putin has a right to be concerned about it.

2. I urge vigilance against Putin and Bush both.
the situation between our 2 countries is precarious. These are 2 similar men in certain respects. They have common and conflicting interests at play in that part of the world. I worry.

They can choose to stay on rhetoric that is mutually "feel good" all they want but the differences are there on more pressing matters that the media ignores like Iran, former republics, oil, regional security as well as influence in the that region and in former eastern euro blocs. Policies differ greatly. Russia's interests and sense of security are threatened at every turn and I see little happening so far to change this progression. I'm dead serious.

Russians, for good and bad reasons, are very mistrustful of America and too a lesser extent the EU. I pray some postive developments come out of the EU-Russia summit in May.

“Bush - Nazi Dealings Continued Until 1951”

- Federal Documents
By John Buchanan and Stacey Michael
from The New Hampshire Gazette Vol. 248, No. 3, November 7, 2003

After the seizures in late 1942 of five U.S. enterprises he managed on behalf of Nazi industrialist Fritz Thyssen, Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President George W. Bush, failed to divest himself of more than a dozen "enemy national" relationships that continued until as late as 1951, newly-discovered U.S. government documents reveal.

Furthermore, the records show that Bush and his colleagues routinely attempted to conceal their activities from government investigators.

Bush's partners in the secret web of Thyssen-controlled ventures included former New York Governor W. Averell Harriman and his younger brother, E. Roland Harriman. Their quarter-century of Nazi financial transactions, from 1924-1951, were conducted by the New York private banking firm, Brown Brothers Harriman.




I wonder if such relationships really ended in 1951 . . . :freak:
