Is Vladimir Putin a Killer?

http://www.theimaginativeconservative.org/2017/02/vladimir-putin-killer-joseph-mussomeli.html

A better question than “Is Putin a killer?” might be: “How is it that so many Senators on both sides of the aisle, and media outlets ranging from liberal to conservative, seem so fixated on goading the Trump Administration into confrontation with Russia?” Many of us disagree with Mr. Bush’s view that Mr. Putin is “trustworthy” and with President Trump’s apparent belief that there is some moral equivalency with the United States. But to keep pressing for a more belligerent, combative stance against Mr. Putin, especially when we have far greater threats such as a rising China and a resilient ISIS to contend against, seems needlessly provocative and reckless. The “Is Putin a Killer?” ploy is already passing away in the newsfeeds, but the underlying intent—to ensure continued confrontation with Russia—will manifest itself over and over again as the Trump Administration tries to restore some balance and perspective to that bilateral relationship.

And unfortunately, it's not hard to find where the US, in that Yemen raid and multiple times under Obama ended up killing civilians.

From what I remember, Bill O'Reilly asked the killer question, Marco Rubio asked the "is a war criminal" question.

You think Obama wasn't a killer?
