Quote:Your use of tyrant is extremely subjective. There is a difference between being authoritarian, and being a tyrannical ruler. In my opinion, tyrannical rulers are Stalin, Mao, Hitler, or Kim Jong. Authoritarian rulers like Putin are more along the lines of FDR or Pinochet.

You've let Alex Jones skew your view of Putin.


Putin is a foreign aggressor and domestic oppressor. I'd consider the use of interment camps pretty tyrannical so even if you want to compare Putin and FDR the result is the same. An authoritarian is an authoritarian, statism is always the enemy and Putin is amoung the worse.


Let's pray trump is just bluffing about his admiration of Putin's leadership.
