Putin strikes me as another coming of Josef Stalin. In this information age, he may not be able to get away with the killing on such a grand scale as Stalin did, but they both seem to be cut from the same cloth.

Stalin deliberately killed innocents to instill debilitating fear into the populace. On Putin’s watch, several innocents were killed when the security forces raided the Moscow theater to “save” patrons from the Chechen terrorists (though that may have been “passive” indifference – if you will). In Beslan, the details surrounding the school/hostage crisis not only seem “curious” but downright are pointing to govt complicity in a set up.

The list of horrific acts pointing to the state are too long to list here. However, Putin seems to be very bad news to me and we may soon have to start regarding him as an outright enemy and scrap the parameters of our current reltionship with him.
