But they are just a bunch of losers that never amounted to much and have nothing to offer for the future of the planet. If they didn't have nukes they would have been wiped of the face of the earth a long time ago.

Wtf

No current German politician could rally people behind themselves by striving to rebuild the 3rd Reich.

Isn't that kind of happening? On the fringes perhaps but it's there, just like those in the UK (ok, England) who hark back to the glorious days of Empire.

On the fringes of the fringes, of course. There will always be some sad individuals harking back to imaginary past glories. But I see no evidence of any desire among the German people to see a return to the Third Reich except amongst a very small number of extremists. Whereas Putin's desire to see Russia return to a Cold War Stalinist way of life appears to have substantial but not universal support.
