Putin As Vlad the Impaler Reincarnate

The latter classified as a voivode (prince) of Wallachia (part of modern Romania). Surrounded by enemies that included the Hungarians, the Ottomans, his younger brother, and Walachian nobility, Vlad employed extremely cruel gruesome measures to inspire fear in those who opposed him. He earned his nickname by impaling his enemies on stakes. No argument Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin equals and invariably will outrank Vlad the Impaler the second son of Vlad Dracul who became ruler of Wallachia in 1436. Impossible mission to comprehend propensity exhibiting characteristics linkedin as impish, hellish, ghoulish... fiend whereby pathological pretensions besotted (punch drunk with delight) to incinerate, eradicate, annihilate, essentially to deplorably, heinously, loathingly... interblend all manner of atrocious, deleterious, insidious, opprobrious, vicious... lend ding his own vainglorious trademark to offend *****sapiens who strive toward repairing ruptures versus to rend usurpation of life, liberty and continuity of civilization to upend. Worst nightmare scenario unfolding before our collective eyes Ukraine suffers blitzkrieg Russian soldiers devastatingly carpet bomb major metropolitan areas civilian population suffers major loss of innocent lives linkedin with accompanied psychological fallout, especially affecting babies, children and youth. All commands issued by autocratic monster probably housed within secure bunker, meanwhile countless thousands or millions of battle fatigued people hunker among ruins gingerly negotiating their way thru rubble analogous to spelunker. Though yours truly removed (think physically), where chaos and pandemonium run amuck and terror unruly, overt rampant upheaval plagues long established generations of Slavic peoples, this commonplace American vicariously experiences grief when tragedy viewed online and/or television heart wrenching images also evoke anger being linkedin to most abominable, horrible, reprehensible, creatures that roamed the terrestrial firma since time immemorial. Major war crimes against humanity necessitate urgent punishment, if in fact such a global entity exists to condemn and convict the uncontestable tyrant, yet never in the annals of twenty first century geopolitical webbed zeitgeist did self anointed totalitarian sovereign access nuclear weapons to obliterate great swaths of fellow Earthlings.
