The Goebbels of the Kremlin

Well done Angie, Goebbels and Hitler would be proud of you and your fascinating work on this movie.

Joseph Goebbels, Hitler s propaganda minister, famously gloated after the Nazis legal Machtergreifung (seizure of power) It will always remain one of the best jokes of democracy that it provided its mortal enemies with the means through which it was annihilated.

Apart from the immorality of such public behavior (imagine a German chancellor paying his respects at Goebbels' grave!), the fact that both China and the US have veto power at the UN suggests that it is stupid even from the standpoint of Realpolitik .
