Oh well… for what it’s worth… some quotes… which gives an inkling into their mindsets.

Adolf H….
The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.

The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.

The American president increasingly used his influence to create conflicts, intensify existing conflicts, and, above all, to keep conflicts from being resolved peacefully. For years this man looked for a dispute anywhere in the world, but preferably in Europe, that he could use to create political entanglements with American economic obligations to one of the contending sides, which would then steadily involve America in the conflict and thus divert attention from his own confused domestic economic policies.

Vladimir P….
To forgive the terrorists is up to God. But to send them to him is up to me.

I am the wealthiest man…not just in Europe, but in the whole world. I collect emotions.

People are always teaching us democracy, but the people who teach us democracy don’t want to learn it themselves.
