Rising Hegemon
David Cameron has told European leaders that the west risks making similar mistakes in appeasing Vladimir Putin over Ukraine as Britain and France did with Adolf Hitler in the run-up to the second world war.And David Cameron officially becomes the one millionth political leader since 1938 to make this analogy...and I think Putin becomes approximately the 10,000th political leader compared to history's greatest asshole.
They each should get something in celebration, maybe a case of Budvar or some other quality Czech product.
Can we not get better and more educated bad analogies from history from our political leaders? What's wrong with comparing Putin from land-grabbing war lords of the past? A Napoleon, Tamerlane, Genghis Khan or Pompey?
Have some imagination in your accusations people.

It'll stop a few years after they quit putting "-gate" at the end of every single scandal.
You're right-- completely unimaginitive idiots.
I for one, would welcome more comparisons to the Corsican Monster!
