Two quotes that to me sum up Putin's "peacekeeping"

“We must lend our neighbors a helping hand! We must lend them two helping hands, and help ourselves to our neighbors!"
- Moe Hailstone in the Three Stooges firm "You Nazty Spy" (1940)


"Peace! We want peace!"
- Moe Hailstone , Curly Gallstone , Larry Pebble in "You Nazty Spy"

"Yes. A piece of this and a piece of that country."
- Vance Rippemup in "You Nazty Spy"


"You Nazty Spy" was the first American comedy film to be released, satirizing Adolph Hitler and Nazi Germany.

January 1935: "No country can feel the need for peace more profoundly than Germany."

May 1935: "Our love of peace is perhaps greater than that of the other nations."

January 1936: "There is not a single German who desires war."

March 1936: "My aim is Peace, Peace founded on an equality of rights amongst the peoples."

September 1936: "The German people has no other wish than to live in peace and friendship."

June 1937: "The German in his whole character is not only peaceable and peace-loving."

...

January 1939: "[W]e have always only one wish, that in the coming year, too, we may succeed in contributing to the general pacification of the world."

April 1939: "... the Czech people will have more freedom than the down-trodden peoples of the virtuous nations! I have thus, I believe, done a great service to the cause of peace."

etc. etc.
