Recall that Putin served in East Germany’s Stasi during the Cold War. Shoulder-to-shoulder with former Nazis, doing Nazi things. The guy is such relic that his his only response to opposition to his fascist failed state is to accuse them of fascism? That’s straight up projection.

Is this a joke or do you actually believe this? Any modicum of research would’ve shown you East Germany was the only part of Germany where former nazi’s actually faced punishment rather than promotions.

So the where did the East Germans recruit their completely de-Nazi’d secret police? Pretty much everyone left in Germany at the end of WWII was in the party. The Soviets managed to create the foremost modern police state in East Germany from a blank slate? That’s pretty hard to believe. It’s entirely plausible and consistent that the SS that got caught behind the Iron Curtain cut a deal and suddenly became fervent communists.

The fact you claim East Germany started out as a “police state” tells me you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Undoing decades of Western liberal bias and propaganda is pretty difficult, but if you’re actually interested in history, there’s plenty of literature available.

Riiiiight. How do you explain all those bullet holes on the eastern part of the Berlin Wall? We’re a little far removed from then for you to cling to Soviet propaganda. There’s way too much testimony and the Stasi’s own files were released in the 90s. Are you going to tell me Saddam Hussein didn’t model his secret police on that brutal inhuman efficiency? Next, you’ll tell me Saddam was just misunderstood? What are you on?

Lmao, where does Saddam fit in to this? As I said before, you should probably study slightly more about the subjects in which you pretend to be an expert – the Berlin wall wasn’t even built until 11-12 years into the GDR’s existence. And I’ll leave it up to you to try and figure out why it was.
