UK Defence Secretary Compares Russia To Nazi Germany

Russia has been compared to Nazi Germany again, this time by the British defence secretary Gavin Williamson.

Accusing Russia of using Nazi tactics in their alleged attack on Sergei Skripal, Willamson who last week told the Kremlin to “go away and shut up”, said thousands of fake online accounts were being used to “distort the narrative” surrounding the recent nerve agent attack in Salisbury,

His comments follow those by Boris Johnson who compared the upcoming World Cup to the 1936 Nazi Germany hosted-Olympics.

RT reports: Williamson has ignored the possibility that portions of the British public are skeptical of the UK government’s declarations of Moscow’s “culpability” over Skripal. “What actually happens is it completely distorts the narrative of what people think about things,” Williamson told the Times.

“We have to make sure that that narrative is countered. It is effectively the Lord Haw-Haws of the modern era.”

Since the poisoning of the father and daughter in Wiltshire, Russia has been hit with a raft of sanctions. Twenty-three diplomats were expelled from London and 14 other countries have now followed suit. Russian private jets are being scrutinized and subjected to extra searches, the Government said, while the World Cup will not be attended by the British Royal family.

This is the second time since the incident a Nazi comparison has been made. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson suggested the Russian president will “glory” in this summer’s World Cup as Adolf Hitler did during the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.

Johnson told a committee of MPs it was “an emetic prospect” to think of Putin “glorying in this sporting event.”

“I think the comparison with 1936 is certainly right,” Johnson said.

The comments were branded “unacceptable and totally irresponsible” by the Russian ambassador to the UK, Alexander Yakovenko.

Williamson has said Russia poses a great danger to national security and that Russian bots are the ‘Lord Haw-Haw’ of the modern era.

Lord Haw-Haw was the alias of William Joyce, an American-born fascist who moved to Germany before the outbreak of war. Joyce became infamous for his production of pro-Nazi English language radio propaganda during the conflict. He was hanged for treason after the war’s end.
