"We have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction."
~ US State Department, 1948

Comment: Even Russians aren't immune to Godwin's law! President Trump is merely the latest leader that has been compared to Hitler. Others include: George W. Bush, Saddam Hussein, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, Angela Merkel, Hillary Clinton ("Hitlery") and Barack Obama. But at least in Shamanov's case, he's making a connection that has some historical validity. Remember, while the Russians won WWII, it was at the cost of some of the greatest losses of the war, tens of millions dead. For the past 20+ years, the U.S. has expanded its influence in Europe, bringing NATO to Russia's doorstep, breaking promises, and for all intents and purposes acting as if it wishes war and the destruction of Russia - just like Nazi Germany. So the Russians are understandably defensive, especially after the recent US pullout from the INF treaty.
And as Shamanov observes, by allying themselves with the Americans, allowing American troops and weaponry on their soil (aimed at Russia), the Europeans are putting themselves on the frontline of any potential war with Russia, seemingly willingly. Perhaps they think they are protecting themselves from some mythical 'Russian aggression', but if that's the case, they are delusional and only making the situation worse - to their own disadvantage.
