Putin is a phony, a liar, a former atheist communist and a high-ranking member of the human rights-violating KGB. The KGB, if you don't recall, was the Gestapo of the USSR.
Perhaps you really believe Putin found God. Maybe you think the Baltic Nations, the Ukrainians, the Poles, and the Georgians, don't know what they're talking about when they fear him and his idiotic desire to restore the USSR's empire. But I don't think they're wrong.
If Putin had no biography, the way he's reinvented himself might make sense. As it is, he's like Mussolini who was once a Socialist and later a founder of Fascism. He's like Milosevic who was once a Communist heir to Tito and then a Ultra-nationalist Serb.
Now you're putting words into my mouth and it happens to be in the same comment where you also paraphrase Hitler's "best biographer.
How do you expect me to put any credibility in your assessment of what you say a "Hitler biographer" has to say about Hitler and your assessment of Putin when you can't even honestly quote me.
I don't even recall mentioning God in this thread let alone imply that Putin found Him.
No, I stick to what I said before. Hitler was a madman.
Madmen are not necessarily stupid, is a common assessment when most historians spoke of Hitler. You can be really intelligent and be a looney-tune.
Hitler was a looney-tune.
