On Joe Biden's, "Vlad must go." comment. At the end of WW II we didn't let Hitler stay in power.

I'm sure it was a comment for the Russian people and the military but he spoke the truth. Vlad Putin is
a butcher who has killed @ least 50,000 people in Ukraine and he has been in an undeclared war on the
United States and other western democracies for years (some of the same people worked in both Brexit
and helping the Trump Campaign).

Anybody who caused this woman's hurt needs to die. Besides he has been running Russia as an organized
crime operation and stealing the Russian people's money and resources for years.

We are not at war with Russia. We have diplomatic relations with Russia.

And before the end of the war in Europe, Hitler was already dead. Details aside, Putin would certainly benefit from a Nuremburg style trial and a short drop from a tall platform. The only problem is getting him to the place of trial. The perfect solution would be for the Russian people to deal with their own "Hitler."

Germany was losing the war but he was still its leader until he did himself in.

You damn right Hitler wasn't even being considered to remain in power. Unconditional surrender was the only outcome. FDR directed the war effort down to small details far, far more than we ever knew. But Churchill wrote the book, and FDR's personal political story was never told. Now with contemporary diaries and public records, the story is told. Truly among the best books I've ever read.
