While the Halloween season is still a recent memory, it is appropriate to
recall the only other statement involving Hitler that was posted in the source for
the nonagression pact recounted below, a week and a day before Halloween.
> A personal non-aggression pact is sealed with the ghost of Hitler and acted on with:
>
> "Trump is not Hitler, of course. Hitler, unlike Trump, served with honor
> in the military and had some appreciation of the arts."
The very next sentence, concluding all talk of Hitler, was totally even handed:
"But they have enough in common to be scary."
As almost all Americans at or past the age of 3 know, Halloween is a time for sundry people to be scary.
In fact, it is often a compliment for someone's costume to be called scary.
The only reason I didn't quote it in the OP is that it doesn't add anything special one way or the other
to the preceding two sentences.
But now, in a final Halloween-style fling, I let the ghost of Hitler do the rest of the talking:
"I'm not sure what `in common' refers to where that Zionist puppet is concerned. Perhaps it is
the way he bore down on the hereditary absolute monarch of North Korea where all his
predecessors behaved like wimps towards him; perhaps it is his repudiation of the nuclear arms agreement
made with those implacable foes of Zionism who run Iran.
"My guess, though, is that the best example the author has in mind is the way he got around to warning
the Taliban of dire consequences if even one American was killed. And for at least a year, until he was defeated
by the bumbler under whom the record was broken, none were.
"Even this falls well short, though, of how scary I was during the Spanish Civil War. I gave Franco
enormous amounts of military aid, both in materiel and troops, and encouraged Mussolini
to contribute even more. Stalin was afraid to give the Republican side more than about 1%
of the number of troops Mussolini and I had there at any one time, for fear of precipitating a war
between us.
"I wish I could have been half so scary when I pressured Franco in 1940 and later to attack
Gibraltar and help me and Mussolini seal off the Mediterranean on the Atlantic end.
When it became obvious that he would continue to defy us, I fumed, telling Mussolini how the ingrate
`owes us everything' and yet he refuses to do us this modest favor."
