Remember that time Putin saved a puppy from an idiot? Same vibe. https://youtu.be/ltriFxc-hWw

That reminds me of when he let his dog in to scare Angela Merkel. Who's a national treasure I might add. She's known to be scared of dogs. That makes me think of Putin's own ability to dehumanize. He's using his dog as a show of power lessening it to just a tool. Same with Hitler using his dog, Blondie, for propaganda ads. The sociopath signs are there. Dehumanizing animals is a first step. https://i.tribune.com.pk/media/images/1026866-MerkelPutindog-1452689920/1026866-MerkelPutindog-1452689920.jpg

I would do that. Me: "Oh you don't like cats?" "Why is there a red dot on my chest ?" Me: "No reason..."

You're just playing around though. Mischievous sure, not sociopath though. You're still thinking of your cats feelings. For Putin it's about the power trip. For the record though I'd find that funny cause I love cats. https://youtu.be/gcSnX5aUAPU

Hitler was very charismatic and knew what to say to get people behind him, I'll give him that. Putin? Ehhhh... Not as much.

We have less to go by to interpret what Hitler's intentions were towards animals. We can however see him methed out of his brain at the Olympics. Maybe his love for animals is his only redeeming quality, much like Putin- the guy smoothed the puppy's neck after he got it away, then kissed the top of it's head. Just shows how thin that line is between decent people and monsters. Clip of Hitler https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wU-6TwhWPkc
