I'm a progressive who opposes Putin for the same reason the Left opposed Hitler.

So the answer is "BECAUSE HITLER?"  What specifically has gotten you in such a murderous lather? Rolleyes

Wanting to put pressure on Russia because of their support for Far-Right movements in the West and their increasingly clear connections with the Trump Administration is a "murderous lather"? It's you Alt-Righters who are being ridiculous for saying that anyone pushing a hard line on Russia for the BS they are pulling "wants WW3". If an open, hot war happens it will be RUSSIA'S fault, not ours.

Donald Trump started appeasing Vladimir Putin before Putin even asked.  Donald Trump is a con artist, and it is only a matter of time before Putin sours on him. That's how things go with liars and cheats.

We Americans should be aligning with political leaders who share our democratic heritage. But a President who holds such a heritage in contempt finds a good buddy in Putin. To be sure, Putin is not Hitler. Nobody could ever be that bad again. But there is far worse possible for America than evolution, a 'lack' of (fundamentalist) school prayer, abortion, and same-sex rights -- the sort of regime that could abolish those in return for making an America in which 95% of the people suffer for 2% of the American people.

I want to live again in the sort of America in which I do not see death as simply the end of all my problems. I want to live for something other than an Afterlife or reincarnation.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
