Big Bear Hypocrisy
Russian President Putin has reached a new record low for brazen hypocrisy. In a meeting today with Czech leaders, the Russian vozhd said Moscow bears moral responsibility for the 1968 Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia that destroyed his famous Prague Spring movement.
Moral responsibility? How about another Nuremburg? How about restitution?
The Russian fraud was merely lusting for the opportunity to ease anger over Russian bloodletting and boost relations with the former captive nations of Central Europe.
"We share all the assessments that were made at the beginning of the 1990s. I must tell you very frankly that while there is not and cannot be legal responsibility here, there is of course a moral responsibility - and it cannot be otherwise," Putin said at a news conference with Czech President Vaclav Klaus.
How dare Putin pick and choose which nations he would extend a limited apology for past Russian crimes against nations and humanity?
Putin should lead the Russian nation in a pilgrimage to the holiest place on earth and beg God for forgiveness for millennia of killings, invasions, destructions, and subjugations. Take the UN list of member-states and point a finger anywhere and you will be hard pressed to find a country that has not suffered at the hands of Russians.
Cyberspace is too limited to write about all of the instances. Just as the Nazis, so to must the Russians beat their breasts and repeatedly say “mea culpa.”
But that won’t be enough. Afterwards, in the words of William Wallace, which he told his nation’s British subjugators: “Here are Scotland's terms. Lower your flags, and march straight back to England, stopping at every home to beg forgiveness for 100 years of theft, rape, and murder. Do that and your men shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will die today. (The Brits laugh.) I'm not finished. Before we let you leave, your commander must cross that field, present himself before this army, put his head between his legs, and kiss his own arse.”
