Ah well, it's not in the Sermon on the Mount, Vlad, it's in the warning about ravenous wolves - Matt 7:15-20 (KJV)
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
It is you, Vladimir, who fears being 'cut down and thrown into the fire'. Isn't that so, you evil piece of shit?

They both have an obsession with punishing people who disagree with them.
Sounds like they're not so far apart, after all.

Satan welcomes you, Putin you evil madman.

When you approach a city to fight against it, you shall offer it terms of peace. And if it agrees to make peace with you and opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall become your forced labor and serve you. However, if it does not make peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it.
When the Lord your God gives it into your hand, you shall strike all the men in it with the edge of the sword. However, the women, the children, the animals, and everything that is in the city, all of its spoils, you shall take as plunder for yourself; and you shall use the spoils of your enemies which the Lord your God has given you.
Deuteronomy 20:14
I used the NASB translation, to show in plain modern English what is being proposed here.

(13,582 posts)Putin is a lightweight when it comes to this hogwash. The sheer mass of murders, prison tortures, and civil rights abuses of his own people makes this claptrap a meaningless exercise in the old rubber - glue argument. He needs to fall out a window in a tall building. The sooner the better.
