Putin is no friend of the American people. A fact that will become painfully apparent soon.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76328479 Well, duh. [ link to www.youtube.com (secure)] But, he is an amazing leader, so was Stalin and Hitler although history was much nicer to Stalin because of rewritten history and incredibly effective propaganda.
What you don't know can't harm you.
Until it does...
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76328479 You've lost me - and more than a half of Russians at the very least - by saying that Stalin and Hitler are comparable. Just saying. Not going into details, there two main reasons: 1. Whatever is claimed about Stalin planning to start a war, at the end of the day it was started by Hitler - effectively leading German people to the sorry state they ended in at the end of it. Not to mention almost a decade of prior propaganda. And here is the second major difference: 2. You may like or not Soviet ideology, but it has never contained any racial and ethnic prejudices. And there were no ethnic purges under Stalin's reign. Yeah, there were political ones - but those were present in other countries including France for example. You may discuss differences in methodology of those purges, but it was more due to current political situations in the countries than due to some "inherent blood thirst" as some claim. There were ethnic deportations - yeah again - but - yet again - the same happened in US with Japanese.
