  This article shows that slowly but surely we are progressing in the right direction in terms of historical comparisons. The Hitler comparisons are starting to slow down. 5 more years and we might hear names of leaders outside of the 20th century.

  My suggestion would be Genghis Khan or Cortez the Killer.

  Not correct. Already in the very beginning Putin demonstrated his genocidal intent by declaring that Ukrainian nation does not exist. Mussolini didn't set the goal to destroy Ethiopian nation(s). Does it make Putin Hitler? I don't know, I see him more like some neo-Hitler/Stalin hybrid with touch of mysticism as flavor - he is a new thing. If you want to get a more systematic argumentation then I'll refer you to prof. Timothy Snyder https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-war-in-ukraine-and-the-question https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-war-in-ukraine-and-the-que... I'll recommend author to reconsider this opinion.
