LOL. Last week Trump was Hitler to you folks. Now it's Putin. Its like you have a weird, erotic fixation on being beaten up by Nazis. Your ignorance of history and geo-politics is limitless. To compare Russia today to Germany's rise as an industrial and military force in the 1930s is pure fantasy. I'd explain all the reasons why, but it'd be like trying to teach a groundhog to fly an airplwasn't.
Their reason has been ground to powder by years and years of fearing new boogeyman around every corner and on every conservative breath. Always an external threat so that they won't consider any possibility that they are being lied to and ripped off by their handlers every day.
