      Perhaps you forgot Mr. Genocides (plural) in Beijing. It goes to show that we should be careful with hyperboles. This isn‘t a contest after all.

        Title is for the “most serious war criminal of our time”. There’s no hyperbole here. It literally is a genocide measuring contest.

          But that‘s the problem. Just because that lunatic of a leader frames it like one doesn‘t mean we have to participate in it.

            Or…you can rightfully point out that he should apply the same standard to Netanyahu, since the death toll in Gaza is several times higher than it is in Ukraine. After all, by his own words, there should be “zero tolerance” when dealing with war criminals.

            If that is how he chooses to frame it…then make sure the frame encompasses all the available data.

      Comes easily at the second place. But it’s only one nation, while Putin is killing several nations at the same time.

        Why easily? E.g. the Iraq war was also without UN mandate and depending on analysis could have more civilian casualities.

      Putin, in terms of a single person (don’t forget Israel has had multiple dictators PMs), IS the biggest war criminal alive.
