Why are people comparing him to Hitler when we have a perfectly good Stalin?
Shaodyn
If you make it illegal to do something, then you knew people were going to do it.

Russia: “No Hitler talk, the leader will feel bad”. Florida: “No racism talk, we have those feelings too!”
ComcastLover
I feel like people often forget the good things Hitler did. He killed Hitler for example!
quarkdoll
the article talks about comparisons of the actions during the Soviet Union - nothing about comparing Putin and Hitler
ThinkThisOut
Same reason Xi freaked about Winnie the Pooh I suppose

Putin’s Law outlaws Godwin’s Law

It's technically an equation, not a comparation.
morphis
it's just missing one thing.... "LIKE AND SHARE IF YOU AGREE!"
EaNasirIsABastard
There is no similarity between them. One invaded from the East and one from the West. Opposite directions.

Strategic brilliance! When they attack at dawn the sun won't be in their eyes! /S

WWII started because Stalin cut a deal with Hitler, and then supported Nazi Germany against the West. They were just as responsible.
Miller16of16
Stalin cut a deal w/Hitler after trying for years to make an alliance with France and England against Germany's impending expansion.
OstinPower2020
Russia=Nazi since 1939
letsloveeachother
By the way, there's a separate law in Russia that makes illegal to say what you just said

Can we skip to the end and have him shoot himself in a bunker?
jrntn
it's probably gonna be with a golf ball on a golf course but I'll take anything at this point
Corpsehorser
He's apparently in a bunker already, so one step taken
cabalin
Fuck Russia today. Fuck Russia tomorrow. By God, fuck Russia forever.

Rrrrgrr
That's stupid Hitler, was younger.
BubbleF0X
On a serious note, they are very dissimilar other than being totalitarian rulers.

Hitler was the only reason we prevailed in WW2 his bad decisions contributed to his downfall.Hopefully Putin fucks up too.
Miller16of16
It had nothing to do with the Red Army killing 4 out of 5 Nazis and their E European auxiliaries. Revisionism run amok.
BigSwede7403
Ok, compare him to Stalin then that cooperated with Hitler at the start, then attacked Finland under false pretenses and got absolutely 1/-
BigSwede7403
mauled (like a certain ongoing war) and then murdered millions in political purges. 2/X

That's not what the article says at all.
IllegalAlienFromOuterSpace
I feel conflicted. On the one hand Hitler had an effective military force. On the other hand Hitler.
DukeofKMS
Always with the Hitler comparison. It almost always belittles the things my ancestors did.
wormsinmahspice
It's like people know so little of the monsters in history, they're left with only him for comparison when there are more apt comparisons
DukeofKMS
It’s just that addiction to superlatives. It limits communication and expression.
sadurdaynight
(1980's) "nuclear deterrent" = nukes prevented wars (2020's) "nuclear deterrent" = nukes prevent you from stopping him causing war
jrntn
Oh, no. No. NATO's nuclear arsenal is why he hasn't also invaded Poland, which 86% of Russians currently support
LongoloidFartExplosion
Why don't people ever liken people to Stalin?
Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwv
Because they know nothing about history except Hitler big bad. Nvm the other dictators who caused far more death in the same generation.
simplemanmakingmywayintheuniverse
Kinda unfair to compare, at least hitler accomplished his goals in the beginning.
Gestalt7
The Crimea would like a word
edyluk10
Well, no. Hitler fucktup things gradually and Putin from the beginning but both of them are fuking insane.
Zixtank
At least Hitler was competent. Well, before his brain turned to mush from drug misuse that is.
flapperfemmefatale
And Hitler killed Hitler.
thefar
At least Hitler killed Hitler.
DadddyWarlord
fucking ooof!
ArtSparkle
God this is dark
GCRust
This is glossing over Hitler's great accomplishment. Ending the life of that deranged, genocidal madman Hitler!
eronth
Sure, but Putin still has a chance to take out that homicidal leader in Russia.
Tsurusennin
"At least Hitler loved Germany, or something!"
IamNotAshamed
He absolutely didn't. He turned it into a hellhole.
makeGamesHappen
They are quoting "Morty" from "Rick And Morty".
PigsWeGetWhatPigsDeserve
Putiin is a dick, but the comparison goes limp. Before WW2 Hitler restored the German economy. Putin has steered the Russion economy into
jsdigman6
So...what you're saying is that the orange shitstain was right Hitler did some good things get the fuck out of here with that. https://i.img
PigsWeGetWhatPigsDeserve
the mud.
PicassoCT
Hitler started a industrial sized snowball system of loans, making the war inevitable..
PicassoCT
Which made the appeasement so ridiculous. Anyone looking at the rare economics of the "miracle" saw that france or poland would get it
Kingsdotter
Yes, but they closed their eyes and hoped it would go away. Just like we have closed our eyes to Putin.
PigsWeGetWhatPigsDeserve
Is Ukraine not being supported financially, with weapons and ammunition and intelligence? Is Russia not being sanctioned and boycotted?
Kingsdotter
Now, yes. But we have had years to do something about it. Putins soldiers have razed cities to the ground before. Your question is a good
soepie7
So he's worse than Hitler?
PigsWeGetWhatPigsDeserve
That’s not what I stated. I stated that the two don’t compare. Putin is his own brand of asshole. He’s a worse politician than Hitler, as
PigsWeGetWhatPigsDeserve
bad a strategist, but overall, I think Hitler is worse because of WW2 and the holocaust.
Gray365
Well, the Russians do have some history with Hitler, and yeah, Putin is an asshole, but comparing him to Hitler is just for the stupid.
Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwv
Yeah, i have to agree with you. As bad as Putin is, he has yet to bring genocide. The comparison ignores just how evil Hitler was.
Gray365
Ppl just don't get you can be really bad, and still not be the worse
sirpsys
If you're looking for anything but reactionary sheep ejaculating uneducated slogans/warmongering into eachothers mouths; wrong forum
Gray365
Ohhh, but they're so much fun! If you really want some good fun, mention obama wasn't perfect, or that trump did something right
sirpsys
Lmao yep. To be clear I'm one of those SEP socialists but yep. All pretty sad
Gray365
Yes, Hitler was way way worse, but the fact putin isn't as bad as one of the worst assholes ever doesn't make what he does okay
Gray365
Putin compared to currently active assholes shows how bad he really is
