Putin/Trump What is the Difference?


Is there a difference between Putin/Trump?

I'm not talking between dementia and non dementia. 

I'm talking about their war mongering.

Putin starts a war in Ukraine under the pretense it really should be under Russia control.

Trump has said similar things about Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal. And although he is not the first American president to forcibly change a South American leader, he is the latest. 

Trump is busy sending aircraft off the coast of Iran. The U.S. has messed with Iranian politics (er oil) since the overthrow of its government long ago. Never mind withdrawing from a treaty that held the seeds of progress. 

Treaty Shmeaty! 

Who cares?

Frankly, I don't see much difference between the two men in their warmongering. Putin's slowness to expand his balliwick to other balliwicks is playing the long game. Trump might be trying to do too much too fast. 

Merriman Webster defines evil as "morally reprehensive, sinful, wicked."  Sending mostly innocent people to their deaths under horrendous attacks can fall into that category for whatever power and wealth they might gain can be described as evil. 

Russia and the United States are run by evil men, one of which is demented.

Does anyone win? Yup. Not people. Not the planet.  Arms manufacturers.
