    Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Wednesday compared the US with French dictator Napoleon Bonaparte and German Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, saying it has united the West in its quest to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia.

    “Just like Napoleon in 1812, Hitler in 1941, the US today has united almost all Western countries to once again try to destroy Russia, inflict a ‘strategic defeat’ on it and eliminate it as an independent player in the international arena,” Lavrov said while addressing a gathering of Russian compatriots living abroad in Moscow.

    The minister said the level of anti-Russian actions in the Western countries goes beyond all measure, and affects the Russian diaspora.

    Lavrov criticized the West for abandoning traditional values and moral principles and propagating “tolerance brought to the point of absurdity.”

    “The religious symbols are being banned. In the EU they turn a blind eye on sacrilege of Muslim shrines, actions to destroy, without exaggeration, the Orthodox religion.

    “In neighboring Ukraine, Nazis and anti-Semites are glorified at the official level, they are leading the case to ban the canonical Orthodox Church, to deepen the church schism,” he stressed.

    The diplomat warned that such a course “causes irreparable damage to the moral health of people, deprives them of their civilizational roots, leads to mutual alienation, depersonalization, self-destruction of society,” and contributes to the growth of radicalism, aggressive nationalism, neo-Nazism, xenophobia and intolerance.

    Attempts of the Western elites to impose their values, which are “alien” to other nations, lead to destruction, the minister emphasized, citing as an example the Middle East and North Africa.

    Lavrov said he has no doubts that the current problems will be overcome, including with the help of compatriots, who remain the bearers of traditions, passing them on to children and grandchildren, contributing to the formation of an objective, unbiased image of the country.

    “Russia as a civilizational state will continue to defend the moral principles of international life, promote the principles of honesty, truth, goodness and justice in interstate communication,” he said.

  2. Wonder why that is….Maybe mirrors are sold out from russia.

  3. Did the U.S. want to destroy russia/Soviet Union during ww2 ? Or when they sent billions in aid ??

  4. Hitler would have destroyed the Soviets in WWII if it wasn’t for the Arctic Convoys and the aid they were carrying from The West.
    This was in spite of the Soviets initialy supporting Hitler invading Poland and simultaneously, invading and occupying the Baltic States.

  5. Coping idiot that tries to defend the murder of thousands of civilians and frankly hundred thousand ex-civilian soldiers that try to defend their homes against the Russians.

  6. Well Russia needs to be destroyed.. the Cancer called Kremlin has spread too much.

  7. Had to reach back in time to Napoleon. Guess claiming people are hitler is not scary anymore. Especially, when you are committing genocide. Stalin is more fitting for Russians.

  8. The guy forgot that it was stalin and hitler who pioneered WW2.

  9. Patton is routinely vindicated on wanting to roll through Moscow after Hitler’s downfall.

    Would have saved a century of Russian/Soviet bullshit.

  10. Russia would be speaking German if it weren’t for US aid and British intelligence.

  11. He’s not wrong at the heart of it. The West gave Russia a chance for 30 years, but is done with their crap. The only reason we would want Russia to hold itself together is because of nukes.

  12. Has he been eating the green bits on his cheese again ?

  13. Russia defeated itself. It’s proving that it is entirely irrelevant in the world economy.

  14. Russia absolutely should be destroyed, they have nothing positive to offer the world

  15. Nobody wants to destroy Russia but you should behave yourself

  16. Why study history when you can make up your own whenever it suits you!

  17. The beauty is that Russia really is destroying itself and it’s fucking great to see.

  18. The US never sided with Hitler… Can Russia (Soviet Union) say the same?

  19. Big words coming from Hitler’s old allies, lmao

  20. Russia was allied with Napoleon and pretended to be best buddies with Hitler before both of them attacked. So, based on experience, shouldn’t they be afraid of a leader who says he’s their best friend?

  21. Well in all honesty, the world would probably have been better, if Napoleon had succeeded in destroying Russia.

  22. Ah yes, not allowing others to invade countries is basically being hitler.

  23. Lol. No one — and I mean *no one* — has done more to bring the modern world together than Lavrov’s boss in the Kremlin.

    Long-standing NATOskeptic nations have suddenly thrown themselves into NATO’s arms. Global rivals have put aside their differences and united in an unprecedented regime of sanctions. Nations reluctant to face the reality of Russian infiltration have become resolute and started to clean house.

    Everyone was happy to let Russia fuck off on their own, until they invaded Ukraine. No one made them do that — in fact everyone tried to get them to stop. And no one is making them sustain the invasion. They are free to stop punching themselves in the face at any time.

  24. Russia is opposite land, where everything they say is the direct opposite of reality.
