Why does Western establishment and its media lackeys hate Russia and Putin so much? And how much will the West risk in an effort to depose 'Modern Hitler'

It's time we stop the charade and get to the bottom of this. Is Putin really a modern Hitler trying to take over Europe and potentially the world? If not, what is the real reason he is so hated?

Some very prominent conservatives still make their living using unfounded scare tactics to spread Russophobic hate with a fervor that has nearly surpassed that seen during the Cold War, a period when it was very much deserved. Vladimir Putin in their eyes is no different than Breznev or Stalin, and maybe worse. He’s a naked communist wanting to “restore the old Soviet Empire” and take over the world. In short, Putin is a “modern Hitler” who must be stopped at all costs. This is rubbish and I’ll explain why.

If that were true, why do all the international communists in America, Canada and Western Europe hate Putin so much and want to see him replaced? Shouldn’t they see him as an ally, someone to be emulated?
