"Envar har rätt till åsiktsfrihet och yttrandefrihet. Denna rätt innefattar frihet för envar att utan ingripanden hysa åsikter och frihet att söka, mottaga och sprida upplysningar och tankar genom varje slags uttrycksmedel och utan hänsyn till gränser." – FN:s deklaration om de mänskliga rättigheterna, artikel 19
”We may have been fighting the wrong enemy (Germany) all along. But while we’re here (on the Soviet border), we should go after the bastards now, ’cause we’re gonna have to fight ’em eventually.”
”We have destroyed what could have been a good race of people and
we are about to replace them with mongolian savages and all of Europe
with communism”
“ They are a scurvy race and simply savages. We could beat hell out of them. The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinaman or a Japanese, and from what I have seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them, except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. In addition to his other Asiatic characteristics, the Russian has no regard for human life and is an all-out son of bitch, barbarian, and chronic drunk.”
“The Russians are mongols. They are Slavs and a lot of them used to be ruled by ancient Byzantium. From Genghis Kahn to Stalin. they have not changed. They never will and we will never learn, at least , not until it is too late.”
Pattons ord stämde under Svenska stormaktstiden, under Napoleonkrigen, under Krimkriget, under första och andra världskrigen, och de stämmer än idag. Tragiskt att ett folk som ryssarna aldrig blir bättre.
Det var Truman som både hindrade Patton och sedan MacArthur att slå till mot kommunisterna.

Kanske speglar en del av Putins misslyckanden.
