Is Putin a War Criminal.

Putin is a criminal, and yes, I believe he has illegally invaded Ukraine.

People wont like to hear this but IMO as an invading army Russia has been pretty well behaved. They could have done so much worse.

Sorry, but invading army’s aren’t well behaved, they are killing innocent people. This invasion was illegal.

He has a long history of poisoning his adversaries, no matter what soil they exist on. He's a criminal for sure, but not sure if he's any worse than Dubyah when it comes to occupying oil rich nations. Whom Putin references every time he's criticized for his aggression.

Putin who probably lost his mind, tRump who never had a mind and treasonous and seditious Repukes can join in the atrocity of being criminals against humanity who are incapable of supporting or co-existing in a civilized society on Earth because they are all insane at selling their entire souls to the devil for dirty money and dirty pleasures.

That sounds like some garble that was written for heels up Harris.

Well, I was about to 'thank' you for the excellent question until I read the ridiculous article included in the OP.

Is invading Ukraine like Hitler starting WW2 (in Europe)?
What an amazingly, ridiculous comparison.

Hitler wrote his plans in Mein Kampf for all the world to see.
He wanted to conquer Poland and the Soviet Union for German 'living space'.
His invasion was for no other reason than pure, empire building built on 'Nordic' superiority.
Also, Hitler knew that to attack Poland would guarantee war with France and Great Britain as they had a mutual defense treaty with Poland.
Plus, knowing how the Nazi's treated Jews even as early as 1939 AND knowing that here was a large, Jewish population in Poland? Certainly the world could expect that millions of these Jewish Poles would be treated horribly - at best.

Putin - assuming he means what he says - is trying to stop a war in the Donbass that has killed thousands of people on both sides since 2014. And - I assume - the only way he believes that can be done is to remove the current leaders of Ukraine.
And there has been no external involvement - militarily - in the conflict thus far. Nor does it appear there will be.

Now I do not agree at all with Putin attacking/invading Ukraine proper (outside of the Donbass region).
But comparing that to Hitler declaring war on Poland is sheer nonsense.

Only the future knows how this will play out!
It could be square one in Apocalypse Now,or it could end with Ukraine being under Russian occupation.

Or it could end with Russia leaving as soon as it gets what it claims it wants...Kiev to leave the Donbass region alone.
That's my bet.

And it will not end in a major war since:
a) Ukraine is not a member of NATO.
b) Biden has no intention of directly intervening - and the US voters want it to stay that way.
c) the UN will never intervene since Russia and China have veto power.

Nope...this is as big as it will almost certainly get.

Like the un-American tRump, a criminal against humanity as Putin has disgraced Russia's image in the world too.
 
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is standing tall in Kyiv.

Our weak, spineless, senile old man, slow Joe, went to Delaware for the weekend.
