On Putin and Stalin

In a previous post, I argued that Putin resembled Hitler more than Stalin. That statement would undoubtedly have enraged Vlad the Impaler, who openly admires Stalin and calls his Ukrainian adversaries “Nazis.” But how do Putin and Stalin stack up? Consider the following:

Putin vs. Stalin

Ideology: Fascist / Communist

Killed: Thousands / Millions

Unlikely Ally: Xi / Hitler

Lenin Tie: Grandfather was chef / Successor in terror

Invaded Neighbor: Ukraine / Finland

And the winner is . . . Stalin. How’s that Russian Empire reunion effort working for you, Impaler breath?
