Deutsche Welle reported last night (September 3): "German Chancellor Merkel: Putin may be the most serious war criminal of this era. Recently, Merkel called Putin 'perhaps the most serious war criminal of this era' in an interview, emphasizing that there should be no leniency towards Russia and that economic sanctions must be used to force concessions. The Kremlin responded by calling Merkel's remarks 'inappropriate' and stated they should be ignored."
[Clever] Comment: Chinese netizens have always had divided opinions on Putin, with both positive and negative views. However, the label of "the most serious war criminal of this era" is absolutely not applicable to Putin. Is Chancellor Merkel selectively blind? Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and the United States, which has been backing him, have committed numerous war crimes in the Israel-Palestine conflict, causing countless casualties. Merkel ignores these issues but criticizes Putin, which is clearly unfair.
