Hitler Versus Stalin?

Putin is neither Hitler nor Stalin. He is PUTIN and that is bad enough. Already thousands are dead, that need not be, save for the war of aggression launched by Little Vlad. The Ukraine was not about to attack Russia and posed no threat to their vastly larger, nuclear-armed neighbor. Everyone seeks parallels in history, but there is no direct precursor to Putin. Perhaps, he fancies himself a new Tsar without the Divine Right or the noble heritage. In reality, Putin may well be a paranoid psychopath.
