All Orsini’s comments on Hitler and Poland
The reasons with which Hitler invaded Poland are not substantially different from those publicly exposed by Putin. Cazzola's analysis
I have no intention of arousing the '' fatal wrath '' of the professors who have come to the fore following the trail of blood caused by the Russian aggression of Ukraine. Nor that of the many serial liars – proud of their dishonor – who falsify history and news; not even that of the zombies of (dis) information, of the singers of the (in) cultures that we believed buried, and who, instead, are resurrected by mistaking a proto-fascist dictator as the heir of the Little Father, now committed to giving back to many "bad guys masters ”the myth of the USSR. And therefore I will be careful not to compare Vladimir Putin (indomitable ghostbuster of the ghosts of Nazism) to Adolf Hitler, even if – for some reason difficult to understand – the rising star of the very weak thought, Alessandro Orsini, has certified that the Fuhrer, when invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, had no plans at all to unleash the Second World War. On the contrary, he was shocked by the reaction of France and England, forced to intervene due to the perverse domination of the alliances, now carefully to be avoided, with the enlargement of NATO, because they would increase the number of States that Putin could attack, implementing the preventive defense against Russian security risks, of which the Tsar is the sole custodian.
Good. I venture, however, to argue that – mutatis mutandis – the reasons with which Hitler invaded Poland are not substantially different from those, equally arbitrary, publicly exposed by Putin (but compared to the Fuhrer, the Tsar proved to be a bungler) for to attack Ukraine.
The text of the order to attack Poland is taken from the Corriere della Sera of 2 September 1939. And, as we read, it placed the responsibility for the attack on the Poles. Putin, decades later, used similar arguments to attack and destroy Ukraine.
'' The nationalists who took power unleashed a persecution, a real campaign of terror against those who opposed their unconstitutional actions. Politicians, journalists and public activists were harassed and publicly humiliated. A wave of violence has engulfed Ukrainian cities, including a string of high-profile and unpunished killings. '' (from the February 22 speech)
'' Russia was potentially under aggression, it was necessary to take a single decision that could not absolutely be inevitable, that of defending our country ''. (from the speech of May 9).
Hitler, in 1939, had "a snack companion" named Josif Stalin, the absolute master of the USSR, with whom he had signed a non-aggression pact. Together they shared Poland. Stalin waited about two weeks before attacking Warsaw from the East. The motives for the offensive did not differ much from those contained in the Fuhrer's Appeal. Let's see, for documentation purposes, how the newspapers of the time reported and justified the Soviet intervention.
Obviously, then, being a substantial ally of Nazi Germany, the USSR had become, for the fascist regime, a friendly nation to praise the exploits. Many things should be told about that period in which the Ribbentrop-Molotov non-aggression pact was in force, including the role played by the French Communists in sabotaging the Armée's resistance to the German invasion of 1940.
However, the reasons given by Stalin were very hasty. Since Poland no longer existed, the treaties stipulated with the USSR had lapsed. Then appeared the usual need to defend the abused Russians in Poland as well as the Germans. But – between us – if someone were to argue today that, once the USSR has disappeared, the commitments that the West has taken on towards it no longer exist, what would a revived and perky Michele Santoro think?
