You're describing Hitler. Not Putin. The situations are very different.
There is no hatred of a people in Putin (just fear of Nato).
There is some superiority complex sure. But in Putins case it's the superiority complex of "Ukraine is actually Russia", which is enormously different from the hate of the nazis.
- meiraleal 5y agoHistory doesn't repeat itself perfectly. For Putin to say that Ukraine doesn't exist and ukrainians are actually Russians is as bad or worse than Hitler standing. Putin denies the right of an ethnicity to exist.
- Ramarin 5y agoThat's not true. Putin has repeatedly said that the main purpose of the military operation is military facilities on Ukrainian territory, but not people. If you don't believe me, watch the interviews, ask the Russians how they feel about the brotherly people. One in 20 people in Russia is a Ukrainian. No one belittles them on a national basis.
- meiraleal 5y agoWhat a liar says doesn't matter, his acts counts more. But even lying, he said that Ukraine is Russia just a few days ago.
- dandanua 5y ago> There is no hatred of a people in Putin (just fear of Nato). Clearly, you didn't watch Russian inner propaganda. And you don't know people in general. Hate is the main source of energy that fuels authoritarians in their crack on people who don't comply. Putin is just quite good in restraining emotions within himself, in public appearances. Still, there are videos of him when you can see the hate.
