His point is that you are obviously trying to employ false equivalencies here. Quoting some anachronistic point about Castro is old history, while Russia actively engages in assassination practices right now and then gloats about it on state TV.

Your post seems to be trying to normalize this behavior "because someone else does it too".

No its not just limited to Putin, and any history book will tell you this. Since we like quoting wikipedia:
