unlike other stuff said on DU by me and others that is not hyperbole, it's just fact. I'm wondering if DonnyPutin will go that far? Time will tell. He certainly seems to be of that mind frame, "If we have nuclear weapons why can't we use them?"

The mob largely leaves "civilians" alone. Putin is bombing the shit out of innocent civilians in Aleppo.

Other than that, no difference I can see.

Oh, and nukes.

I would argue that their moral compasses were clearer than Trump's and Putin's.
