'False claims' against US career diplomat

Former US ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch was recalled from her post in May. She was removed from Kiev earlier than due by the state department.

Ms Yaovanovitch, a career diplomat, told lawmakers her removal was based on 'unfounded and false claims by people with clearly questionable motives'.

It is always considered a taboo subject to compare current politicians to Adolf Hitler.

But the comparison here is striking.

As soon as Hitler bacame German chancellor he began to remove career diplomats from their ambassadorial roles if he suspected they were in the slightest way not in sync with his ideas/plans.

The foreign ministry would quickly set in motion a series of lies and disinformation about German diplomats who they felt were not fully supporting the Nazi regime.

Hitler would call them traitors, non-patrtiots, and always in a mocking fashion.

Similar style to a current politician?
