@ttsdt Regarding Putin and Hitler: It really needs to be taken into context. As much as Putin doesn't like the comparison, moving into Crimea does have parallels with Hitler moving into the Sudetenland (and then on into the rest of Czechoslovakia). Not quite the same tactics, but certainly the same justification.
There are other comparisons that could be made, but when all is tallied up, Putin is no Hitler. He's smarter than Hitler, saner, and most importantly of all, he doesn't have any genocidal ambitions that I've heard about.
