you forgot mr. genocide down in zion…
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.
A genocide is a worse thing than “just” killing several hundred thousand civilians. And of course, just alone the destruction of Mariupol gets at least close to 10 000 killed civilians, possibly more.
Lets keep to real figures please. Ukrainian sources estimated shortly after that around 25,000 people were killed and a later independent investigation found likely evidence for around 10,000 killed.
Now the number of zeroes is correct. Thanks!
Putin, in terms of a single person (don’t forget Israel has had multiple
dictatorsPMs), IS the biggest war criminal alive.Only because USA presidents only last 8 years in power at most
@ICastFist …. we all hope. Wasn’t there also a term limit in Russia at some point?
No idea, I’d have to look that up. All I know is that Putin getting elected in the first place, back in 2000, was questionable, to say the least.
Idk, I would probably say that Netanjahu is even worse.
Funny how using the superlative form (“most”) he’s sending us into a tailspin about who is “the most serious war criminal”. As if that ordering really matters. War criminals being bad is like pedophiles being bad. Sure some are “worse” than others, but all of them are fucking creeps that need to be brought to heel.
Putin, Netanyahu, Trump, past US presidents (yea even that one), Blair, etc. All fuckfaces that every reasonable person should be denouncing.
of our time, i’d definitely put Netanyahu up there
Netanyahu seems to have be the closest to the violence. Not the most prolific. He has probably killed over half a million, directly and indirectly ,over his long career .
But while others have killed more ; they are more removed from it, more intermediaries, less day to day involvement with the actual victims .
The Israeli self reported civilian to combatant death ratio is over 80%…
Russia is not even close to this.
Israel has murdered more children than all other killings in the same time period. Also more bombs dropped on Gaza than on Tokyo in WWII.
Sudan has some estimates of half a million children starved to death in that period. Putins war in Ukraine is also extremely deadly. Add to that the civil wars in Myanmar and Syria.
OP quotes these numbers:
Since the [Russian] invasion began, 14,054 civilians, including 730 children, have been killed, while more than 36,000 have been injured,
That’s a Sudan rounding error. Why does the difference in attention not worry people?
Honestly, there’s more stiff competition for the title lately than for the peace prize.
And he is absolutely right. Putin doesn’t care about honor, dignity and ethics. He is interested in expanding and maintaining his power and is prepared to artificially keep his war alive as long as he has to answer to the Russian and Ukrainian people. Anyone who invites a criminal into their home will soon be a victim of the criminal’s games. Only toughness can stop the insane nationalism of the Russians, deadly toughness.
Putin’s a complete total psychopath for whom human life has no value.
And yet he’s fucking Mother Theresa of Calcuta by comparison with mass baby murderer Netanyahu whose troops actively target children.
You will notice that Merz has “forgotten” about Netanyahu is this “most serious war criminal of our time” scale.
This is all smoke & mirrors: German mainstream politicians loved Putin and they especially loved the money they got paid when they retired from politics for “consuting work” or even board memberships in companies like Gazprom, and it took months and a lot of pressure from everybody else in the West to get Germany to start disconnecting from Russia and reduce the money they sent Putin’s regime for things like gas which was used by the likes of BASF as cheap raw material in their processes to get a competitive advantage over other chemical companies. Also getting them to actually start supporting Ukraine militarily was like trying to pull teeth out - I remember how everybody and their dog had to send tanks to Ukraine before Germany finally got around to sending their old tanks there.
I very much doubt that these statements from Merz are any more than pure image management, especially because his “unwavering support of the Jewish State” (his own words) has showned that for him too, just like for Putin, human life has no value when a person is not from the “right” ethnicity.
by comparison with mass baby murderer Netanyahu whose troops actively target children.
Here I’d like to point out that Putin isn’t really better even in this regard. Among the most important targets for Russian drone attacks are maternity hospitals. Then there have been attacks against children’s hospitals.
With a self reported civilian death ratio at over 80%, Netanyahu wins this award by far.
- Since the [Russian] invasion began, 14,054 civilians, including 730 children, have been killed, while more than 36,000 have been injured, he said, also acknowledging the conflict’s spillover into the Russian Federation where there have been civilian casualties in Belgorod, Kursk and Bryansk.
- Slovenia’s delegate [emphasized] that Moscow’s second-largest air assault of the war on 28 August saw 620 drones and missiles launched mostly at Kyiv, destroying residential buildings and damaging the European Union delegation and British Council premises. These are “not military targets”, but densely populated areas, she stressed.
- Yulia Svyrydenko, Prime Minister of Ukraine, told the Council that the Russian Federation’s 28 August assault [were] killing 25 people — including 4 children — and wounding 63 others. Among the victims was a girl “not yet three years old, born under Russian shelling in October 2022, and killed by Russian shelling in August 2025”, she said.
Tough words for Mr MealyMouth. I wish he would do that more often.
I’m the opposite. I wish he would stfu. Idealy forever.
As much as I’d love to agree with it because it’s damned close to being true, the real winner is Netanyahu, of course
So many to choose from
Thinking the same thing. Its making me depressed.
Wait for China and North Korea, together with India …
Foreign type he is good. No weapon to Isreal and this. Really.
