By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Vladimir Putin's final days cannot come fast enough.  Both are unbridled killers, who have indiscriminately committed heinous crimes against men, women and children.  Their viciousness knows no bounds.  They will be welcomed at the Gates of Hell by Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-tung, Adolf Hitler and other monsters in history.

Putin began his career with the KGB in the DDR (or East Germany) before the Soviet Union's collapse; and he rose to prominence and international attention with Boris Yeltsin.  His brutality has been chronicled here many times[2]; however, even more horrific may be yet to come.  Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich has described what modern warfare may look like.[3]

Gingrich is one of the brightest minds in America; and his predictions are chilling and scary.  Will this scenario outlive the deaths of Putin?  In all likelihood, yes.  The world has passed into the next "generation" of warfare, in which planes, aircraft carriers, tanks and yes troops are arguably obsolete.  Did Putin usher in this new world of warfare?  No, but he may be casualties of it.
