There's a massive difference in magnitude between Putin and Hitler, but point taken

Is there? It’s not like we’re in any position to find out until the armies roll into Russia to find the destruction camps. Or the war settles down and Ukraine can do a full inventory and find tens of thousands of people missing or dead.
If Russia has really been cremating remains in Mariupol, people may remain missing forever.

There is basically no difference between the two people. Hello from Kyiv.

Right now it's only scale and I agree completely with you. Putin no doubt would be doing same atrocities on the same scale if given the chance.

Is there? Denying people's right to exist, war on bullshit excuses ( they aren't a real country), brutal methods up to and including genocide ( like kidnapping and resettling children). They're not that far off.

Don't get me wrong, Putin is a horrible horrible person. But there's a big difference between starting a war that resulted in 80+ million deaths (including the orchestration of ~10 million civilian deaths in camps) and Putin. Russia is committing war crimes and should be held accountable, but it's disingenuous to conflate Putin and the (arguably) worst person in human history

If we were to take his nuclear threats to Ukraine seriously, he has all the potential to be one.

You're comparing Putin as of April 22nd, 2022 to Hitler at the end of his life. We have no idea what Putin's next steps are.

The quote said "Hitler" and not "Hitler when he invaded Poland but before he killed 10+ million innocent civilians"
