A day after comparing Vladimir Putin with Adolf Hitler, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has again slammed Russian President for his stand against Ukraine.
Hillary called Putin a tough but thin-skinned leader who is wasting his country’s potential.
Accusing Putin of “threatening instability and even the peace of Europe”, Hillary Clinton said in her speech at the University of California that, “All parties should avoid steps that could be misinterpreted or lead to miscalculation at this delicate time.”
Earlier Hillary Clinton slammed Putin for his claim that he was protecting ethnic Russians by moving troops into Crimea.
“Now if this sounds familiar, it’s what Hitler did back in the ’30s,” Clinton said adding,
“Hitler kept saying, ‘They’re not being treated right. I must go and protect my people.’ And that’s what’s gotten everybody so nervous.”
“I just want everybody to have a little historic perspective. I am not making a comparison, certainly. But I am recommending that we perhaps can learn from this tactic that has been used before,” she explained.
