> one of the worst crimes committed by humanity in the last 100 years?

As much as I oppose to US military politics, I think that in the past 100 years there have been much worse crimes than US wars in the middle east.

If I think of the worst criminal of the modern era (post WW2) the first name that comes to mind is Vladimir Putin.

For once: he wiped a tenth of the entire Chechen population, it's like if someone ordered the killing of 34 millions of US citizens.

Lucky us the red army is not the red army anymore.

He founded and promoted terrorism in Ukraine, shot down civilian airplanes, bombed refugees camps, used chemical warfare, prohibited by international treaties, on civilians

He also ordered the assassination of a number of journalists

But Snowden is his guest, so he must be a good man...
