This is how Hitler started out. Brainwash the masses to hate one group. Use that talking point to gain political power. Once you've got the people backing you up you can do anything you fucking want. This is how it all starts.

Oh my god. That's sickening... I just hope that more progressive influences can counteract this over time, but it looks like this is the direction Russia is going in, for now.
As for whether he's going to go "full-Hitler", I think that's a big conclusion to jump to. Plenty of other government leaders do bigoted shit and don't go on to become the next Hitler.

You can just tell Americans and Brits are crazy for another world war with a "bad guy", after they got tired of killing poor 3rd world people. I say go for it, let off some steam, then maybe you'll finally get tired of playing world police.

I'm more worried Obama's going to go "full Roosevelt" and get thousands of Americans killed over a European border dispute.
Russia's infringent of civil rights is tragic, but Russia's never exactly been famous for liberal democracy.

I'm more worried syntax might be serious about his visits to China to see his good friend matt.
