He’s like Hitler in that he’s killing people for who they are not because they are a military enemy, killing civilians men, women, and children, and using illegal weapons of mass destruction.
In what way is he not like Hitler?
First of all, a guy below listed ways in which he is “not like Hitler”. I’ll list a few more: Assad sees them as a “military enemy” much like we saw the Iraqi army. Assad killed civilians and we killed civilians....whether it was done with bombs, fuel-air explosives, incendiaries, or bullets is irrelevant.
Assad is not interested in world (or even regional) conquest. He is also not interested in lebensraum for the “Master Race”. He will also NEVER have the technological advantage over his local enemies that Germany had. He is the leader (barely) of a wartorn hellhole....that’s all.
“In what way is he not like Hitler?”
Sorry, but Hitler wasn’t fighting a civil war instigated and funded by foreign interest.
