In the Russo-Ukrainian war, US propaganda has exploited a time tested syllogistic sophistry. First you identify the nation at war with the individual who leads the nation. It is not Russia’s war on Ukraine, it is Putin’s war on Ukraine. Then you identify the individual with Hitler. At various times, Hilary Clinton, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio and Zbigniew Brzezinski have all compared Putin to Hitler, as have James Clapper, Kevin McCarthy, Polish President Andrzej Duda, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and others. What powerfully follows psychologically, is that, since the war is a war against “a second Hitler,” any method used to stop him is morally and militarily justified.

Ms Cat, so true. AND with some serious strings attached.

Here’s a side note for you.
In the full article it stated that, “Putin is no Gandhi. Russia’s pounding assault on Ukraine has disqualified him as a nominee for a Nobel Peace Prize.”
Funny how Barrack Obomber’s burning to death of thousands of women and children by drone WAS given the Nobel Peace Prize.
Seem to make one question just how meaningful the Nobel Peace Prize actually is in our amoral world.
Doesn’t it?
Just sayin’!

The Nobel Peace Prize has been made meaningless. I’ve noticed that it usually goes to US government puppets, anymore. Thanks for the comment!
