Is Putin the Russian Hitler ?

[Tender Branson]

Yes. Of course. History repeats itself in slightly different versions.

Like Hitler, Putin is a megalomaniac power-hungry autocrat and despot who has an inferiority complex. Hitler took part in WW1 and experienced the downfall of the Austro-Hungarian empire and its partition as well as Germany shedding areas to France etc. (Elsass).

Putin suffered the downfall of the Soviet Union, which led to a bad grievance for the 2 men and a massive depression among its people, turning them autocratic.

They blame others for their stagnation and failures and because falling birth rates and outmigration the easiest way is to „create more living space for our people !“.

lmao! Sorry, there's just no comparison. Hitler a brilliant orator. Putin? Not so much. Hitler had brilliant generals and scientists. Putin? Not so much.

Hitler had a recipe to kill all the unwanted. Putin? No such thing.

If you said Xi was like Hitler. Well, maybe, but thankfully for all of its faults. The US military keeps China in check, so much so, that the Chinese are moving at a crawl their ambition to take over Taiwan.

No. He is Putin.
Putin is a strongman. Strongmen are common. One think they all have in common, they never benefit anyone but themselves.

Trumpists should come to this realization before it is too late and "too late" is not very far down the road anymore.

Holocaust minimization is Holocaust denial.

The OP literally doesn't make sense.

Putin's a tyrannical thug, not a totalitarian fascist. He leads a country infected with oligarchy, corruption, and banditry.

A broken clock is still right twice a day. Just because Hitler reunited Germany with Austria doesn't mean everyone else who tries to reunite their country has the same bigotry in mind.

Russia doesn't need more lebensraum either. It has tons of it. The problem is the country's corruption prevents its people from getting things done.

Unfortunately, you can't eliminate corruption in a world obsessed with moral emotivism, relativism, and pragmatism. Those are the keys to playing favorites and telling anyone who expects their self-respect to be upheld that they're naive.

No.

I am not denying the Holocaust in any form.

I

A) live next to a former concentration camp and B) have visited several in school.

One can only compare Hitler to Putin through minimization. Minimization is inherent to your argument.

No, you can compare the personalities of the two (which I did) and exclude the Holocaust as a time-specific event of 80 years ago. Their personalities are similar and it shows what a megalomaniac dictator like Putin might still be able to do these days despite historical pretext. That’s why I said history often repeats itself, just differently.

No, you can't. You can't compare Hitler to anyone. I know it's a terrible burden upon you but Holocaust denial is wrong.

If you try real hard, I bet you could make your argument regarding Putin without Hitler. Give it a whirl.

Then why attempt to equate Putin with Hitler?

Why not equate Putin with Xi or Assad?

Has Putin rounded millions of people into concentration camps and executed them because he didn't like their ethnicity or religious beliefs?

We're skipping that part. I see, by likes, you get it. You know we shouldn't be skipping that part. It's the most important part. Really, it's the only part that matters. The rest is largely common bs: "Hitler wore pants."

You really think studying Hitler is a good idea? Productive time? I mean we all kinda know, don't we?

But you think a closer look at Hitler is a good idea. Huh. Seems odd.

They are nothing even close to each other.

Hitler was a mentally ill con man with a gift for public speaking. Compared to other world leaders of the time he was a buffoon who somehow managed to convince just enough Germans to follow him. His greatest attribute was that he understood theatrics and how to reach peoples emotions through grandiose speeches and propaganda.

Putin is nothing like this. He is extremely intelligent, educated, and calculating. He is also cold, ruthless, tough as nails, and someone that we had better come to grips with the fact, is often one step ahead of us.
