RE: Путін і його "дзеркальні" погрози: чи справді ядерний терор на порозі?

"I believe that putin is worse than Hitler."

It's a known argument "at least Hitler cared about Germany or something".

"Because this bastard is an absolutely unprincipled sociopath. He doesn’t care what will happen to Russia and to the zombies he has been preparing for this for 30 years (the Russian people)."

Putin seems to see Russian people as mindless drones whose only life objective is to serve as stepladders for himself. That's why the Russians who are waking up are sabotaging their own war effort from home or joining one of the Russian legions fighting for Ukraine. They know that a Russian defeat is bad for them but a Russian victory over Ukraine would be worse for Russia.

"He doesn’t care how many of his criminal soldiers die."

He actually wants them to die before the end of their contract so they won't go back to Russia as violent criminals free from jail. The ones already returning to civil life in Russia are raping, robbing and murdering people in overwhelming disproportions when compared to general population.

"This evil is growing and spreading."

I tweeted this several times during the 2023 Sahel Crisis as Russia was openly manipulating those countries to create a strip of Russia-align dictatorships there. Later in 2024 and in the current year several crisis started by either Putin's direct hand or the general feeling that the powerful western democracies won't do anything to protect international order like they did in the 1990s with the Gulf War. For this reason smaller nations are not counting anymore with the Western world protecting their status-quo and began to militarize as they are scared of their more authoritarian and imperialistic neighbors.

Just look at the most border-stable continent of the last century: South America(where I live). Maduro is preparing to invade Guiana to steal almost 70% of their territory because such territory is rich in oil and Guiana is a peaceful nation with less than 3000 active soldiers. I blame more Western inaction than Putin's action for the destabilization of my own continent.

History seems to be repeating itself as this reminds me a lot of the several crisis in the 1930s where the Western democracies did nothing because they wanted to prevent another war. The more they delayed the bloodier and messier said war got.

When Japanese military took over Manchuria in 1932 disobeying orders of the civil government(a Japanese constitutional loophole didn't subordinate the military to their civil government, allowing them to do whatever they wanted).

The World did nothing.

Then Italy invaded Ethiopia committing horrendous atrocities. The King of Ethiopia showed evidence of those atrocities against African civilians and pleaded the League of Nations to do something but was laughed at by the press.

The World sent Thoughts and Prayers.

In 1937 an incident in Beijing gave the Japanese Kwantung army an excuse for their total war against China.

The World did a little sending a few supplies to China.

In 1938 came the Sudetenland Crisis, when Hitler accused Czechs of oppressing the German minorities that lived in Sudetenland and threatened to invade. This time the World mobilized a Peace Conference in set/1938 where it was agreed that the Czechs should give to Germany those territories with ethnic-Germans living there. Sounds familiar?

The war was avoided by Czech surrender and everlasting Peace was made with Germany.

Then less than a year later, Hitler did the same thing with Poland, accusing the Poles of oppressing the German minorities living in Danzig. Sounds familiar too? This is the one Putin was taking about when he blamed the Poles for starting World War 2.

This time the Western World did something and declared war on Hitler, but in paper only(aka. "Phoney War"). They still kept watching Hitler devastating Poland without making any move beyond the weak Saar Offensive. When Hitler was done with Poland and had the East secured, he then went after Scandinavia, Benelux and France, that finally began to take the War seriously. But it was too late for limited operations and it took millions of lives to contain Hitler's expansionism.
