When the Australian government began beating their citizens in the street for leaving their houses and protesting against severe lockdown rules, I said –somewhat tongue in cheek at the time– to watch Vladimir Putin (Russia) and Xi Jinping (China) trigger U.N. security council sanctions against the Australian government for human rights abuses.
The point I was making earlier was to highlight a danger. If Western governments continued to devolve into totalitarian regimes, global autocratic leaders will take the opportunity to exploit vulnerabilities created by such open undemocratic hostility toward the principles of freedom.
Putin, Xi and the Mullahs in Iran can easily enlarge their global influence if citizens in formerly free democratic nations react to western COVID mandates by rightly and appropriately rebuking their national and regional leadership.
CONSIDER– What population inside a western democracy is going to want to fight Russian or Chinese geopolitical aggression when they view their own national leaders through the same totalitarian prism?
Think about it carefully, because we are at this inflection point.
♦Ex. If China takes military action against Taiwan, and the leaders of France, Germany, the U.K, Australia and the United States want to do something about it, their internal credibility accounts are overdrawn. Western populations writ large will not support those requests, because the citizens no longer view those leaders through the prism of freedom, liberty and democracy. This is the current situation. This is the danger western leaders ignored when they jumped into their totalitarian COVID mindset.
In a clear example of how autocrats can exploit this self-inflicted vulnerability, check out this speech during a plenary session of the 18th annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club in Sochi, by Russian President Vladimir Putin (h/t Rebel News):
Vladimir Putin:“We look in amazement at the processes underway in the countries which have been traditionally looked at as the standard-bearers of progress,” Putin said. “Of course, the social and cultural shocks that are taking place in the United States and Western Europe are none of our business; we are keeping out of this.”
“Some people in the West believe that an aggressive elimination of entire pages from their own history, ‘reverse discrimination’ against the majority in the interests of a minority, and the demand to give up the traditional notions of mother, father, family and even gender, they believe that all of these are the mileposts on the path towards social renewal,” said Putin, elaborating on the cultural decline of the west in the name of social justice.
“Listen, I would like to point out once again that they have a right to do this, we are keeping out of this,” Putin continued. “But we would like to ask them to keep out of our business as well. We have a different viewpoint, at least the overwhelming majority of Russian society — it would be more correct to put it this way – has a different opinion on this matter. We believe that we must rely on our own spiritual values, our historical tradition and the culture of our multiethnic nation.”
“The advocates of so-called ‘social progress’ believe they are introducing humanity to some kind of a new and better consciousness,” he added. “Godspeed, hoist the flags as we say, go right ahead.”
“The only thing that I want to say now is that their prescriptions are not new at all,” Putin continued, and highlighted the similarities between woke progressives to the Soviet revolutionaries who took over Russia.
“It may come as a surprise to some people, but Russia has been there already,” he said. “After the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks, relying on the dogmas of Marx and Engels, also said that they would change existing ways and customs and not just political and economic ones, but the very notion of human morality and the foundations of a healthy society. The destruction of age-old values, religion and relations between people, up to and including the total rejection of family (we had that, too), encouragement to inform on loved ones – all this was proclaimed progress and, by the way, was widely supported around the world back then and was quite fashionable, same as today. By the way, the Bolsheviks were absolutely intolerant of opinions other than theirs.”
“This, I believe, should call to mind some of what we are witnessing now,” he said. “Looking at what is happening in a number of Western countries, we are amazed to see the domestic practices, which we, fortunately, have left, I hope, in the distant past.”
“The fight for equality and against discrimination has turned into aggressive dogmatism bordering on absurdity, when the works of the great authors of the past — such as Shakespeare — are no longer taught at schools or universities, because their ideas are believed to be backward,” he said. “The classics are declared backward and ignorant of the importance of gender or race. In Hollywood, memos are distributed about proper storytelling and how many characters of what colour or gender should be in a movie. This is even worse than the agitprop department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.”
“Countering acts of racism is a necessary and noble cause, but the new ‘cancel culture’ has turned it into ‘reverse discrimination’ that is, reverse racism,” noted Putin, who apt went on to describe the woke obsession with race and gender.
“The obsessive emphasis on race is further dividing people, when the real fighters for civil rights dreamed precisely about erasing differences and refusing to divide people by skin colour,” said Putin in reference to Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech.
“I specifically asked my colleagues to find the following quote from Martin Luther King: ‘I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by their character.’ This is the true value,” he said.
“However, things are turning out differently there,” he added. “By the way, the absolute majority of Russian people do not think that the colour of a person’s skin or their gender is an important matter. Each of us is a human being. This is what matters.”
“In a number of Western countries, the debate over men’s and women’s rights has turned into a perfect phantasmagoria. Look, beware of going where the Bolsheviks once planned to go — not only communalising chickens, but also communalising women. One more step and you will be there,” Putin warned.
“Zealots of these new approaches even go so far as to want to abolish these concepts altogether,” he said. “Anyone who dares mention that men and women actually exist, which is a biological fact, risk being ostracised.”
Putin then remarked upon the transgender activist movement and widespread efforts to erase femininity and womanhood.
“‘Parent number one’ and ‘parent number two,’ ‘birthing parent’ instead of ‘mother,’ and ‘human milk’ replacing ‘breastmilk’ because it might upset the people who are unsure about their own gender. I repeat, this is nothing new; in the 1920s, the so-called Soviet Kulturtraegers also invented some newspeak believing they were creating a new consciousness and changing values that way. And, as I have already said, they made such a mess it still makes one shudder at times,” he said.
“Not to mention some truly monstrous things when children are taught from an early age that a boy can easily become a girl and vice versa,” said Putin, remarking on childhood gender transitions and the embrace of non-binary identities to the exclusion of parents. “That is, the teachers actually impose on them a choice we all supposedly have. They do so while shutting the parents out of the process and forcing the child to make decisions that can upend their entire life. They do not even bother to consult with child psychologists — is a child at this age even capable of making a decision of this kind? Calling a spade a spade, this verges on a crime against humanity, and it is being done in the name and under the banner of progress.”
“Well, if someone likes this, let them do it. I have already mentioned that, in shaping our approaches, we will be guided by a healthy conservatism,” said Putin. “That was a few years ago, when passions on the international arena were not yet running as high as they are now, although, of course, we can say that clouds were gathering even then. Now, when the world is going through a structural disruption, the importance of reasonable conservatism as the foundation for a political course has skyrocketed — precisely because of the multiplying risks and dangers, and the fragility of the reality around us.”
“This conservative approach is not about an ignorant traditionalism, a fear of change or a restraining game, much less about withdrawing into our own shell,” he noted. “It is primarily about reliance on a time-tested tradition, the preservation and growth of the population, a realistic assessment of oneself and others, a precise alignment of priorities, a correlation of necessity and possibility, a prudent formulation of goals, and a fundamental rejection of extremism as a method. And frankly, in the impending period of global reconstruction, which may take quite long, with its final design being uncertain, moderate conservatism is the most reasonable line of conduct, as far as I see it. It will inevitably change at some point, but so far, do no harm — the guiding principle in medicine — seems to be the most rational one. Noli nocere, as they say.” (Kremlin Website)
You likely found yourself nodding in agreement with almost everything stated in that speech, me too. However, in the bigger picture, it is important to recognize who has inflicted this shifting dynamic in global and geopolitical perspectives. Western leadership, writ large, have only themselves to blame.
Traditional Fascism was authoritarian government working hand-in-glove with corporations to achieve totalitarian objectives. It didn’t work because the principles of free people cast aside the authoritarianism. Then along came a new approach to achieve the same objective.
The World Economic Forum was created to use the same fundamental associations of government and corporations; only this time the WEF was organized for multinational corporations to assemble and tell the various governments how to cooperate to achieve control. Fascism is the underlying objective. The WEF just flipped the internal dynamic.
Some have called this corporatism. However, the relationship between government and multinationals is just fascism essentially reversed with the government doing what the corporations tell them to do. Brutally obvious example: Big Pharma telling governments to promote the vaccine, and figure out the control details later….
At 2:00 the video details how Putin has given back lots of land to the Russian Orthodox church that communism took so much land that 3 church/day were being built. Citizenry claiming to be Russian Orthodox went from 30% under communism to 70% under Putin. IIRC I saw a video a few years ago detailing his upbringing in church. I dare say Putin has a stronger faith than our oval occupant. He certainly promotes Christine doctrine far more than our fake Catholic occupant. I always thought a lot of good could come with 45 having an open, ongoing exchange instead of being tethered by the fake Russian hoax. All rather interesting.
Notice how this video, despite the indication of Putin’s faith, etc., still insists on indicating that this faith is somehow a negative, being used to ‘build his power’. What else would you expect from Vice??
Anytime the West wants a booger-man, only one nation among more than 200 need apply …
Top 2 contenders — Chyna & Ruusssiaa.
To clarify, (IMHO) Chyna is rarely the object of derision among the western MSM; their boogey-man is almost always Russia. The previous 5+ years stand as stark evidence of that.
Clear case in point: the “Muh Russia” ongoing false narrative against President Trump & close associates, while China Joe & Hunter Biden not only go entirely unscatted in the MSM, the MSM flat out lies and denies there is any China-related malfeasance on the Biden’s part.
Only the truth-seeking western alternative media rightfully criticizes the CCP (China’s state government). That same alternative media also criticizes Russia’s perfidy and doublespeak but not their entire system.
Too many of the MSM/globalist cabal are unwilling to trash Chyna because they are too far in debt to CCP and too thoroughly bought-off.
The fact that China is not the boogeyman says tht China is the sugar daddy
There you go. ?
I did notice that. More persecution of faith.
Excellent point !
Slightly off topic but I was watching a story on allied bombing of German cities in ww2 a couple nights ago on the woke History Channel and there was a segment on how British citizens treated black soldiers so much better than the US army did. They also had an expert who used to be a man but now was a woman with long hair and makeup.
Scratch another channel off your viewing list.
Well, while rolling my eyes I still learned that Germany spent of over 40% of it’s military budget on defending Allied bombings. In all my readings never heard that figure. Think I will still occasionally watch. But they are on probation…
As the son of a member of the USAAC Strategic Bombing Survey, I can pass along what I was told by the man who was always bluntly honest:”our bombín became brutally accurate in the last 20 months of the European-based war.”
He was stationed in western Germany immediately following VE Day, tasked with assessing aerial photographs of bomb damage. The Allies suffered significant casualties among aircraft and air crews, but they ultimately smashed the Nazis’ munitions and rail transportation industries.
Read the “Patton Papers” or excerpts from it regarding one of our country’s greatest field generals thoughts on Germany, communism, and the Soviet Union once the Germans surrendered. You won’t see that on the Revisionist History Channel.
Here’s a taste:
http://www.renegadetribune.com/general-pattons-warning-on-communism-and-jews/?doing_wp_cron=1635012921.9696400165557861328125#comments
My pals and I callled it the “Hitler Chanel.”
Yep, more demonizing RAYCISS America…, and promoting multicultural ex-UK
That “expert” you’re referring to, is one of the reasons I don’t watch those channels anymore. That and the fact that they have almost abandoned actual history documentaries altogether, in favor of reality shows. I hate it too, because I used to love watching that stuff.
Only watch occasionally. They have a 6(?)part series on ww1 that I stop on occasionally. Quite good.
The production date of the WW II movie on the History Channel would clarify just when those two comments were made or whether they were inserted against a backdrop of dated WW II era film clips.
The Hitler Channel.
Follow the science…
The Russian Army has more chaplains than the US Army.
But the US Army has more Equal Opportunity Specialists- So there!
… Putin’s newly-constructed “military cathedral”.
Compromised Christian doctrine much?
Wow. Stunning. The same Russian dark indomitable soul as in Tarkovsky’s Andre Rublev. This people has suffered greatly over the centuries. And know they now may be entering the End Times. What compromise do you see ? That Jesus looks like Russell Brand?
False one world religion of the end times perhaps?
Compromised Christian doctrine much? Please be specific. Which doctrine?
What was most meaningful to me in the video was @ .59 which shows the interior dome of the Church featuring a dove, which represents the Holy Spirit that descended on Christ in His baptism in the Jordan River by John the Baptist (Mt 3:16). Many USA denominations/Churches hardly recognize the Holy Spirit.
For me, the only question in the building of this Church, or any of the European cathedrals or any USA churches today: Were they built to the glory of God?
God gave His Church (the body of people not just believing in Christ but following Him) His Holy Word, the Bible. Each believer is commanded to read, meditate, study His Word for themselves and the Holy Spirit teaches/reveals His word to us (Jn 16). Some things are only known to God (Deut 29:29). If we know God’s Word, His doctrines are clearly stated in the New Testament by Christ.
So what doctrine was compromised in this video?
Honestly, for the last 2,000 years, man has added and deleted things from God’s Word. John wrote: “ I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book.” Rev 22:18
I believe the current status of the USA Universal Church (which includes all the denominations) is for the most part apostate, but we know the end of the story and there is always a faithful remnant.
His Word says the majority will fall away in the end times.
Show me a denomination, which hasn’t fallen away, compromised Church doctrine. Christ’s letters to the 7 Churches in Revelation are to the Churches of all time.
I really would like to know your answer to my question. I can tell you this. Having sung with my choir in the late 90s in a Russian Orthodox Church in Kiev, I can say that the century-old Roman Catholic European cathedrals have nothing on the ROC cathedrals – lots of glitz, glitter & icons. Were they all built to the glory of God or to some degree to glorify man’s architectural accomplishment? Can’t help but think of the Towel of Babel. History does repeat itself because man’s heart doesn’t transform without God.
Some people like their religion served up plain. some like it presented as a form of high art. Both ways are good; both ways are corruptible. It is said that the only true church is the persecuted church. The Russian Christians have recently emerged from decades of persecution.
Well stated.
I wish there were a short-form answer to your questions. I’d point you to Luther’s 95 Theses as a starting point … then to Paul’s words in Ephesians 6:12-ff. Nowhere does the Holy Bible say, as far as I know, that human military forces are to be glorified. Much of the imagery shown in the video of Putin’s cathedral does just that. The cathedral is, in fact, dedicated to the Soviet military’s defeat of Nazism, not to Christ’s defeat of death, nor to God’s defeat of Satan.
You’ve answered the question and what you say is true. God has anointed battles, such as God’s battle victory via Aaron & Hur holding up Moses’ arms in the battle of Rephidim. But, humans mistakenly think winning a battle always is anointed by God. Not true, but God does use evil for His good purposes (Gen 50:20).
I found the linked article on this cathedral, which is an eye-opener. Prior to your video & this article, I’d never heard of this cathedral.
My conclusion is that this cathedral is a combination of secular and godly concepts, precepts, doctrine, and traditions. This is never a good thing. It lowers God to the level of man. Not good. Exemplifies apostasy. Thanks for this video and comment.
As for Putin, I still believe he’s a Russian Orthodox Christian — although with this added information he might be a “pew warmer”. Only God knows his heart. Our sovereign God can use Putin and this cathedral to His glory and purpose regardless of the military stuff.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/20/orthodox-cathedral-of-the-armed-force-russian-national-identity-military-disneyland
Well said, MC. All good and all evil are of God’s creation. Satan is one of God’s angels. God has a history of hardening hearts of skeptics and nonbelievers … just as He turns other hearts of stone to flesh. Only He knows which destination is correct for each of us. And for that I am thankful, as His glory shines brighter than that of any man or woman.
I don’t see any Pachamammas, dirt altars, snake head auditoriums, or homoerotic art, so it appears more Christian than the Vatican, sadly. It appears Putin understands that we are in End Times, and wants to be on the right side of the Battle as he sees it, while the US military is purging Christianity.
Precisely. We have tranny pastors, CRT promoting generals, and a communist pope. The Russians have Jesus.
On Memorial Day we in the West thank the soldiers who gave their lives so that we would not be enslaved. We say prayers. In that cathedral painting of the Russian soldiers, they are not fascist supermen, they are weary war-shocked men and boys far from home and family. The same as we honor for their sacrifice. I think the cathedral is dedicated to Christ’s sacrifice and victory, AND to the soldiers’ sacrifice and victory.
You are spot on! Maine Coon
Since when did Christ carry a sword?
Think not that I come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34-36
Look it up, Lookup. Google Christ With Sword, at Images. You have an attitude problem toward Russia methinks. At least be reasonable !
In fairness, the great cathedrals of the renaissance were built to the glory of whatever very wealthy family sponsored the project, each trying to outdo the other. The craftsmen had Jesus in mind tho.
Sir, I recommend you read “Mont St. Michel and Chartres” by Henry Adams .
Given every denomination is comprised of sinners, you certainly will find imperfection in every denomination. Best one can do is go with their official positions, or “confessions”, or “statements of faith”. No minister or congregation lives up to them perfectly, but they are there. I mean, I would not be a part of the denomination I am if I didn’t think its official positions were in 100% agreement with Scripture. No doubt, as I said, no minister or parishioner lives up to it perfectly in every thought, word, and deed, for which we need the forgiveness of sins each and every day.
Thanks for posting this. My wife and I are both veterans (USCG and Army) and we both converted into the Orthodox Church years ago. After leaving the woke military we took our family to seminary, and I’m now an Orthodox Priest serving in Ohio. I’m always amazed by how many people don’t know that you don’t have to be Russian or Greek to be Orthodox, and how many people I’ve seen come into our church once they realize that and that American Orthodox Churches exist.
I think Sundance is spot on in his analysis here. I’d point out that we have been sowing discontent in other countries and using this tactic too. My friends I made at Seminary (from all over Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Africa) all bemoaned how much money was poured into groups pushing homosexuality, transgenderism, and secularism by our State Department in their countries since 2010.
I would like to know about the American Orthodox Church. Could you please respond with a link(s). TY
I am certainly not qualified to answer you — just want to say I read that the Western Church emphasize the crucified Christ and the Eastern church emphasizes the risen Christ. I think one could read very deeply into that.
Money. The root of many evils. Jesus had no use for it.
The Bible says that it is the love of money that is the root of all evil. Money by itself is just an inanimate store of value.
A massive number of people are leaving the apostate churches of the west (Roman Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical) and converting to Orthodoxy as the real history of Christianity becomes more widely known.
Is the Pope Catholic? Asked seriously, not cliche, not tongue in cheek. The vast number of traditional Catholics say no. I would wager that Putin’s faith is not less than “Pope Frankie” Indeed likely more sincere.
Bergoglio is an antipope, Benedict’s abdication was not valid, he attempted to resign part of the papacy, and remain pope as “Pope emeritus”. Bergoglio is not even Christian, has denied the divinity of Christ, does not use the title “Vicar of Christ”. His latest outrage is attempting to outlaw the Traditional Latin Mass, more and more understand that the Novus Ordo mass is a watered down, protestantized “rite”, and Vatican 2 was a Trojan horse.
Three years ago I watched the Christmas midnight mass service from the Vatican. I shall not soon forget the way in which Bergoglio carried the figure of the Baby Jesus, from the altar area to the creche outdoors in St. Peter’s Square. This pope’s expression suggested he’d rather be carrying yesterday’s kitchen garbage: Cold, unfeeling, stiff facial expression totally out of place considering what he was doing.
Pope Francis must be the anti-christ.
Traditional Catholics are sounding a lot like Martin Luther these days. Allegiance to the current pontiff is the defining hallmark of Catholicism, and the original reason that organization fell into schism a thousand years ago. Nothing has changed.
Agree. And he does not hate his own country, or the Russian people.
It’s things like this that make our leftist media hate Russia. Remember, the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil and the hatred of Jesus is the root of all leftism.
Funny, earlier today I was thinking the survival of the human race may come down to the Russians.
Makes it easy to see why Putin is always their bad guy,…
I recall reading a piece on the,..intellectual ancestry of Nellie Ohr and her ilk.
Stalin apologists, they are called. They long for the old USSR, and HATE PUTIN, considering him no different than the Czars.
Putin is a former KGB agent. He is a bad guy who has ruled Russia for over 20 years manipulating so-called democratic elections. Putin is no civil libertarian nor is he religious. He is a despot.
I disagree. He was brought up in a church background and God’s word does not return void no matter what cray he/we all do in life along the way. We cannot truly judge his heart, but his actions are indicative of his heart. Yes, he/his country have their ways, but I am only speaking to his apparent faith at this point in his life. The citizenry support him, like him, — unlike our faithless, despot of a fake occupant with 36% (?) current supp;oart and still heading south..
Please don’t think that knowing the Scripture guarantees a pure heart. Satan knows Scripture better than many Christians.
You have assumed that is what I ‘think”. The phrase ‘saving faith’ in my posts today and explaining ‘saving faith’ speaks to God’s Word and my thoughts, beliefs, but you make an excellent and true point bases on Scripture. It’s always good to cite the Scripture as it brings people to God’s Word and not what I ‘think”.
My departed mother told me she prayed for Putin every day because everyone needs Jesus. I think her prayers have now been answered.
His speech is a slash and burn against exactly what is happening in our (lack of) society. Would that we had such a man who doesn’t blaspheme his religion of birth!
His love is not apparent.
Not trying to stir up an argument, but I wanted to expound on my comment. When 45 & Putin were meeting at some global event, I started noting many videos on Putin regarding his faith. This is what I concluded then and now with further information.
Putin was exposed to the Russian Orthodox (Christian) faith growing up. He is videotaped at Church events/holidays. One might equate him to the Christmas/Easter American churchgoers who tend to be the pew warmers following the Church traditions, like the Pharisees.
Christ publicly chastised the Pharisees in Mt 23 and in the Sermon on the Mount: “unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.”
Without saving faith which transforms our hearts via the Holy Spirit, we just follow ritualistic traditions.
So back to Putin.
Does he have saving faith or is it all just for show (think B*den, Piglosi, Kerry – nothing but Pharisees).
I believe Putin does because saving faith is an internal transformation of one’s heart by God though the Holy Spirit and it (should) results in works based on our faith. We want to work o/b/o God and Christ, who saved us. Works don’t save us though.
Putin has openly worked for his saving faith to give back to the Russian Orthodox Church the church land stolen & churches destroyed under communism. (see above video). Putin is preserving the Christian faith via his authority as President (remember the USA president who did that in innumerable ways and the now godless oval occupant slowing implementing persecution of the church?)
Additionally, as one ages and turns to God through saving faith it is not uncommon to publicly profess their faith to God. I have been baptized in the Jordan River. The Russian Orthodox Church’s has an age-old ritual commemorating the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River, or the Epiphany, which the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates on January 19, in the middle of the Russian winter with temperatures around minus 20 Celsius.
Putin chooses to do this publicly professing his faith (videos below).
When an adult chooses public baptism, it is a choice of the heart not a tradition of the mind.
Many disregard Putin’s faith based on his prior actions in the KGB. What does the Bible say on this issue:
* God’s Word says that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and not by our own efforts or works (Ephesians 2:8-9). God’s Word says He does not want any to perish; His word does not come back void; we know people’s faith by their fruit.
Back to the KGB tag people can’t forgive or forget…..
One of the biggest persecutors of Christians in Christ’s day was Paul, yet he was saved by faith in Christ on the road to Damascus.
One of the most hated professions during Christ’s time was the tax collector; yet: “As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ And he rose and followed him” (Matt. 9:9).
If Putin has saving faith he professed to God, then Putin is forgiven and God sees Putin through the righteousness of Christ, who died for Putin, too — regardless of his KGB days.
**1 Sam 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
Only God knoews Putin’s heart, but from what is available in video on-line, I can see Putin’s actions, and who am I to not accept Putin as a Christian if I apply God’s Word to Putin? Otherwise, a believer is saying (contrary to God’s Word) that eternal life is for everyone BUT Putin – just because humans don’t like Putin. Putin’s sins are no different than mine and yours.
I believe Putin is a Christian.
Putin is much loved by Russians. My daughter is fluent in Russian and spends time on their blogs, social media conversing with them.
Look at all these people talking bad on Putin, yet the Russian people love him.
I think people in the US are brainwashed by some apparatus of the Govt’ that leans left….
Ohh, that’s almost the whole Govt’ LMAO.
Correct! Communists lie. Muslims lie. Satan, the father of lies…..lies. The authoritarians and despots and all the iterations there of (communists, fascists, Maoists et al) LIE because they belong to the father of lies.
He is not a despot, we have a despot as Biden.
You sound like a leftist nut.
How about you run for the office?
“manipulating so-called democratic elections”
Uh. Watched the news any time since November of 2020?
Putin is the Western Globalist Establishment’s “bad guy” simply because he is NOT a proponent of a globalist-run One World Government. He is a nationalist and puts Russia first in his policies in roughly the same manner as PDJT pushed America First from his position.
He should never have gotten into any deals with Hillary, even for uranium.
Some of my friends have expressed the same idea.
I’ve heard and read similar from others. Putin is still a cold blooded murderer but so is the regime of Ameristan. The only difference is, Putin is a conservative cold blooded murderer and the Ameristani regime are progressive cold blooded murderers.
I also think Putin actually loves his country.
That is why I think President Trump was able to get along with this man.
I concur. It’s easy to judge the motivation of a man who does what he believes is best for his own country. It’s even easier to judge the motivation of someone who does what is best for themselves. It’s impossible to reconcile with people who sell out their own country for some nutty globalist agenda. They have no set foundation, and cannot be relied on to act in any consistent manner. You might say they are consistently shitty ok fine but witness the speed of punch a nazi to show me your papers. Many more examples. Their goals are consistent but they spin from policy to policy with no shame or accountability.
Our founding fathers who actually had real American Values could have been called the same, had the Brits won the hot war.
Funny thing is Most all the news we see nowadays in MSM is propaganda and lies that comes from the old British Clan.
Look at the UK newspapers, they spew the same leftist BS our MSM does… because the MSM here copies their spin and reposts it here in the US.
Americans make war, not regimes. Look up Vietnam War protests in NYC! My point, how few did that!
Usually, only the most ruthless rise to the top. That is why Putin is still in power and Trump is not, assuming Trump was not a big psy-op all along (just concerned that his walk often did not match his talk). Rulers are generally ruthless, will do anything required to maintain power. Putin seems to be a legit badass, while Trump is a “lover, not a fighter”. Bad as he may be, Putin loves his country, his people, and Christ, and appears to do whatever he has to to protect and keep them, and is willing and able to do it.
About 2 months ago I read on a major worldwide economic blog the somewhat tongue in cheek comment (but not really) that it might be Chyna & Russia that save the world from Klaus-Gates-Soros et al globalism because those countries will not relinquish their sovereignty to one world order under UN rule.
That’s possible.
I’m leaning towards India right now but it’s very fluid.
Yuri Bezmenov is turning over in his grave. The “trained Marxists” are the globalists’ junkyard dogs, and when these useful idiots are no longer needed they will be lined up against a wall and shot.
Judge Putin by the company he keeps, and read Ezekiel 38 and 39.
I couldn’t help but think of Bezmenov while reading Putin’s commentary. As both men were KGB operatives I’m quite sure Putin was well versed in the same TTPs as explained by Bezmenov in his recorded interviews from the 1980s.
I read that during the meltdown of the USSR Putin was just one of the people Yeltsin brought in from provincial posts to help control the chaos. When Yeltsin stepped down he chose Putin to take his place. Putin said at that time his first thought was “Where can I hide my children?”
Without doubt, Putin’s speech surprises us all. I believe Trump and Putin talk and this speech is the result of a real friendship of respect. Beautifully timed as well. The bond between the two men can change the world.
I understand that Putin, like Trump, does not drink alcohol.
How bad are things? So bad Putin is being looked at as a voice of sanity, right here on the CTH.
A man who had the foresight and brutality to rise above his humble KGB intelligence officer beginnings, to become one of the world’s elite. A billionaire made by graft, scheme, and power of the state, which he’s made his own.
I’d humbly suggest, when you hear communist intelligentsia say:
“Listen, I would like to point out once again that they have a right to do this, we are keeping out of this,”
It means: “Our decades of subterfuge are finally paying dividends – it won’t be long now.”
This speech was written for our ears. Many Treepers are confusing Russia’s cultural facade for freedom. Putin is not defending American exceptionalism and the Bill of Rights!
Perhaps there is a reason why Putin enjoys an 85% positive rate amongst his citizens that we are not being told in the west? The entire Russia hoax, so easily misleading the US public, indicates that Russia must be kept as the western bogeyman for political reasons.
“… beware of going where the Bolsheviks once planned to go — not only communalising chickens, but also communalising women. One more step and you will be there,” Putin warned.
“Communalizing women”, huh?
I’m just tryin’ to cypher out whether my dating situation would be enhanced or diminished under that scenario …
Gnomesayin’ ?
Funny
You probably get turns on trigglypuff.
Putin is a nationalist and loves his country. That can be said of the Biden regime.
Putin is just stating what is obvious to everyone not under the spell of the Ministry of Truth. His contempt of Obama was obvious, and he knows who’s behind the regime and his feelings haven’t changed. I have no doubt he would prefer anyone but these frauds and the instabiolity they bring to the world.
Putin is a nationalist….
That can’t be said of the Biden regime [fixed your typo?]
Thank you!
Biden Regime is a Bunch of Nazi’s, every one of them tow the line…. Ask our Ancestors if they were alive, they would say the same. Once these commies started putting people out of work who have families to feed, over a fake Vax shot you know the Truth about them.
Wait. Did you mean to say that the “Biden regime is nationalist and loves this country?” Really?
Hell ya! I just love me some FJB!
Putin knows Obama is a Muslim and a Jihadist.
The concept of America blows Putin’s Russia away. The reality of America is a poor second to a country run by someone who is a patriot.
You make good points, however I think Putin watches the rapid decline of the Western World with worry.
He knows a world dominated by China is not a place he wants himself or his country to live in
Siberia. Some day the Chinese will want some of it if they get too powerful.
…or all of it, if they are their normal greedy, bully, CCP selves.
. . especially because he is Christian and Communist China hates and fears Christianity.
“A billionaire made by graft, scheme, and power of the state…”
Name one modern $Billionaire in the USA that hasn’t risen the same way.
I think some of these people posting here are leftist, or have a leftist vantage point obviously this person 1776 looks the part. Almost Every Billionaire in the US is one from a Political (insider connected to Govt’) levering and Graft fashion. Most notably are the young ones, Zuckerberg, Sandberg, etc. etc. These people who always win no matter what and make money regardless are connected. I honestly believe Zuckerbergs cash isn’t even his, he is just the clean face.
I agreed completely!
A large investment firm can make anyone a winner and a useful tool in the future. They can not only supply capital for the start up, but they can buy legislative protection. They can also act as fronts for the IC.
There’s no doubt in my mind that the IC was/is behind the success of Google and Facebook. Both companies are a perfect fit for digital surveillence, with the targets unknowingly supply the information. It’s why they seem to be so intergrated. Payback to the IC without repercussions.
The dirty face facade.
Trump
Oh, please. One of Trump’s prime abilities is/was to get projects done in NYC. The special tax laws alone (both federal and state) are probably numbered in the dozens. As a mater of fact, his four corporate bankruptcies happened when his “friends” in Congress changed the tax laws and didn’t grandfather his projects, an unusual turn of events. All this being said, Donald Trump is one of the most ethical operators out there and doesn’t cheat, he just takes advantage of the situation, legally.
I was uncomfortable with his use of eminent domain to obtain property. It’s an evil law.
Only we can destroy this nation.
??? Speak for yourself. I have done nothing to destroy the country, yet marxists are at the levers of power and are using it against people like me, just average Americans who work, raise families, pay taxes, etc. I DO now understand why the people I voted for to get rid of a bad president, were always worse and did the opposite of what they promised. It’s just a rigged racket, and has been for decades. People like me just were too naive to believe that the entire US gov’t., military, judiciary, and agencies would ALL sell us out. No wonder they hold us in contempt.
Is there not a great false prophet at The End Times? Did everyone forget that individual?
That would be antipope Bergoglio. The antiChrist should be showing up soon.
The Australian government didn’t beat its citizens in the streets. That occured only in the state of Victoria and only in its capital city of Melbourne. Victoria police and that state’s disgraceful left wing Premier Daniel Andrews were the perpetrators. He has ended the lockdowns and is restoring the state’s freedoms according to the vaccination status of its citizens. He’s a natural authoritarian and would have been at home in the old USSR. Putin is right. Authoritarian leaders like Andrews have trashed the liberal democratic values of the west. And it must be obvious to all and sundry why the US left did its utmost to demonise Trump’s attempt to be friendly with Putin. Putin has been the big bad bogeyman the left used as an instrument of fear to control the masses, just like the Carona virus has been used to instill fear into western populations by left wing ‘leaders’ like Daniel Andrews, New Zealand’s PM Jacinda Ardern and some US Governors. Putin has been on record for years as lamenting the trashing of western values. The west needs to bring him into the fold, instead of kicking him like a dog and driving him into alliances with the likes of China.
“The west needs to bring him into the fold, …”
That’s exactly what the Russians expected at the end of the Cold War. Instead, our degenerate evil ruling class sent over financialist predators from Harvard and Yale to ‘retool’ their economy. Life expectancy for Russian men dropped to 55. Putin tossed out the predators and the worst of the oligarchs. That is why Putin is hated: he defeated nation-wrecking evil globalism and saved his people.
Our country was transformed over the last 50-60 years from a European-heritage republic into a predatory woke globalist empire. I know it is painful to hear, but we are not the good guys anymore. Until the multicultural ruling class of the Globalist American Empire has been dethroned, neither the Russians nor anyone else on this planet with a lick of common sense is going to come into ‘our fold’. The American model is now an example to the world of the path NOT to follow.
Sad but true.
Which is why I know of no one volunteering to be a cog in this evil wheel, and that speaks directly to the point of this article
Exactly. If (when) China moves to take Taiwan, and we are drawn into a conflict, who is going to fight the war? Not me and not my children. Will we have to reinstall the draft? It’s the America loving conservatives who fight, not liberals. No one is going to fight for Biden and the progressive United States.
Josef Stalin had already ordered the murder of tens of millions of his own countrymen long before Yalta.
I don’t think the West was overtly inclined to buddy up to that psychopath.
I was wondering the other day, if Trump was President right now, would these countries like Australia be acting like they are. My gut told me, HELL NO.
Notice all the countries acting like despots are connected to the British Crown….
the same crown that tried to enslave us all in the USA.
I have listened to a number of speeches from Putin, and am always somewhat amazed at them. This is not the first time I have nodded in agreement at Putin’s discussion….and often wonder if the idea of Putin being a ‘monster’ isn’t somehow connected to the continuing and western insistence that Russia must always be the bogeyman.
That being said, with regard to the idea of China vs Taiwan, actual military analysts who are not attached to our military industrial complex, continue to indicate that China is little more than a paper tiger; that their ‘navy’ is virtually a flock of fishing boats; that their hypersonic missile and other weapons actually use 30 year old Russian technology, etc. Their analysis is that a coalition of Japan, Taiwan and perhaps Vietnam, are more than able to defend any Chinese aggression into Taiwan.
Mr. Brown, how curious that your plain spoken and respectful comments elicited a “red flag” notice. Someone doesn’t like you calling China a paper tiger/dragon. That is largely my sentiment. They are the bully on the SE Asia block and huff and puff and threaten to blow everyone’s house down if they don’t get their way. And everyone is AFRAID!
They are untested in war, in the land of logistics, in the land of quality (ever hear of Mr. Cha Baduo?), and coordinated air, land, sea, space, warfare. They talk a good game but have yet to prove it in any kind of major engagement. I bet they are hoping and praying their braggadocio will continue to give them time to right the ship.
The Indians showed us a thing or two about the Little Emperors’ army at LaDakh …
My father, who was Chief Engineer at the old General Dynamics, said of his job vis-a-vie the USSR in the late 60’s:
“Most of what I do is to convince Washington DC that the USSR is a credible threat so they will keep buying weapon systems”.
The same could be said of China today. Another 4 years of Trump would have seen the current regime upon the ash heap of history.
The Chinese government has about as much ability to wage war as the American government but for some reason the American people are unwilling to take back their country and shrug off these non-threatening leaders
Would like to think sleeping giant but I digress
Putin has indeed summed up the West. It has achieved a high degree of technology but has lost God.
China and all of its bluster of weapons, need not fear. It has already unleashed its greatest weapon from a
simple laboratory. The world was put on its knees through this bioterrorism.
There is respect between Vladimir Putin and our President Donald J. Trump.
Isn’t it strange that someone like Putin recognizes and appreciates the talent in our President Trump when many in this country DO NOT. The whole cabal in DC, Executive, Legislative and Judicial are stupid.
You worry about your military being purged, being full of leftist gestapo, and that’s a real concern, but only for a short while. They will be destroyed as a fighting force by the shots. Evil Scientists are real.
And what about the “gorilla”, India?
In the 80’s Israeli Air Force F15 Es were roughly 100 to 0 in fighting Syria’s Air Force which used the USSRs latest MIGs. Perhaps you are right. Hoping for the best while preparing for the worst is not a bad thing.
Israelis win because they have a reason to survive. 100 to none is because they work at it and their opponents not so much. Tough to fight for a dictator that would kill you and your family just as quick as your enemy.
Technology advantage had a lot to do with it. From sidewinders to use of AWACS. The point I was trying to make was that China might indeed be a paper tiger. But you can’t count on that.
From a manufacturing standpoint and its shear size, China is a threat, don’t question that.
Stalin;
Quantity has a quality all it’s own
“You likely found yourself nodding in agreement with almost everything stated in that speech, me too.”
Here we go again. Another “Domestic Terrorist” classification.
So far I meet all the qualifications.
Putin may also been helpful in repairing some of barack hussein’s damage in the ME…
How dare you disrespect the Kenyan?!
The Kenyan doesn’t respect us.
The moment that Muslim said I didn’t build my business was the day he was dead to me.
Obama still says you didn’t build that.
I thought communists were still a major power within Russian politics. Yet here Putin uses them as the evil comparison that the west is copying.
I am fascinated by that dynamic. He could have easily used fascism. But maybe fascism is an evil that must be eradicated in the Russian mindset and he couldn’t argue his hands off approach.
But how far can he go in remembering past communist crimes and not make enemies of a large constituency? I am missing something. A change in power of communists, or a change in viewpoint acceptable to communists in power.
Has this stuff been fair game for a long time? Like Stalin’s crimes? Or is a change happening as Putin consolidates power?
I am thinking that he recognizes that he too was one of the millions upon millions of Soviet victims…imagine living through their collapse and tasting at least some measure of freedom and then seeing the USA being dragged down by the same leftist treachery and wondering why are they doing this? I believe that our modern leftists in fact ARE the remnants of Soviet expansionism….or at the least are using their tactics.
You are correct that today’s leftist ideologies are remnants of Soviet attempts at subverting the west. You can Google
KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov’s warning to America back in 1984. Communist ideas (Marxism) presented as progressive academic thinking subverted university faculties and spread out from there. Communism died, but it’s remnant ideas have not.
Bezmenov could be required reading for every single citizen not just of USA but the entire world…chilling doesn’t even begin to convey the importance of his message.
Rush Limbaugh stated in his first book the displaced communists of Europe gravitated to the Green environmentalist movement, and from there moved back into government. It’s pretty obvious when you see their agenda.
A “communist” US is a threat to its citizens and the world. Nuclear armed with advanced intel and miltary capabilities increasingly used against the US citizenry, Putin realizes he might be in an existential fight with Xiden’s ex-CCCP handlers.
It occurs to me that once again we have been tricked by the intelligence Community branch of Big Government.
Ever hear of a “wolf in sheep’s clothing?” duh!
Why is everyone so enamored with Putin? You are not rerunning Scrubb’s “I looked into his eyes …” thing, are you? I wouldn’t trust the man as far as I could do Judo throw on him!
But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe a leopard, after a lifetime, can change his spots.
Who’s talking about trust? His agenda and interests will always be to the benefit of Russia.
Putin is stating the obvious to those who refuse to look. The Biden regime, like the Obama regime, is a destabalizing influence in the world that is not in the interests of western culture. The Great Trainwreck is going to have an effect on Russia as well.
The communists are the primary opposition party to Putin’s United Russia Party. It is noteworthy that they occupy that role and not the liberals. This is because ‘liberals’ sided with globalism (international corporate crony capitalism) whose transnational predators trashed Russia to the point that mean life expectancy for men dropped to 55 and and were on the verge of dismembering their country. Outside of St. Petersburg and Moscow, liberalism is discredited.
Consider that there are different strains of communism. Nationalist communism is a highly suboptimal way to organize a country (ex China, Vietnam) but at least they defend their people’s existence. International communism (ex Trotsky) with its creed of permanent war and expansion simply opens the door to foreign predation. When the mass murdering started in earnest in Russia a century ago, senior communist leadership was mostly NOT ethnic Russian.
Putin can criticize communist atrocities in the past without making implacable enemies of modern Russian communists because they are RUSSIAN. Political and historical discussions in Russian (and everywhere else) take place in a cultural context where there is a shared baseline understanding, therefore much can be and is left unsaid. This leaves outsiders baffled if they have no knowledge of the cultural context.
“Some have called this corporatism. However, the relationship between government and multinationals is just fascism essentially reversed with the government doing what the corporations tell them to do.”
So let’s call this by its real name: agency capture.
The regulated become the regulators. They write the laws by which they are governed. Corporatism was a product; agency capture is a process.
Each year, corporations gain increasing control of the fedgov’s enforcement mechanisms. Ultimately, they will declare that, “What is good for business is what is good for America and Americans.”
We are in the midst of a culture revolution. When arch-conservative Calvin Coolidge argued that “The business of government is business,” he unwittingly set us on the path toward this dystopia.
Republicans are powerless to thwart this because they are the ones who rolled the stone downhill.
1980..the Reagan years…Lee Iacocca as culture star….corrupted in large part by the US Chamber of Commerce…and Chinese cash gained from the export of our industries and manufacturing jobs…(I was twenty years old in 1980)….
“Some have called this corporatism. However, the relationship between government and multinationals is just fascism essentially reversed with the government doing what the corporations tell them to do. ”
Welcome to “The Matarese Circle,” as described by Robert Ludlum in 1979. As stated in his prescient novel;
“…international companies are not in business to lose money or forfeit profits. The ‘new society’ will function within a competitive, non-violent, structure. Governments can no longer guarantee that; they’re on a nuclear collision course everywhere. But the Chrysler Corporation does not make war on Volkswagen; no planes fill the skies to wipe out factories and whole towns centered around one or the other company. The new world will be committed to the marketplace, to the developing of resources and technology that insure the productive survival of mankind. There is no other way.” However, before this permanent era of tranquility, there must be a period of violence, because governments do not relinquish control very easily. Only by creating chaos, then providing alternatives to people whose backs are against the wall, can legitimate control be established. With each act of terrorism, globalists grow closer to their goal.”
…longtime Ludlum fan here…was in US Navy back then.
If Vlad had said these words as an American President our media would have excoriated him.
When PDJT was still a candidate for the R nomination I posted here that I believed Putin would have been a better president than oblahblah….and I still believe that…witness current events.
This is absolutely one of the most remarkable statements I have ever read and I hope that the Bolsheviks who are currently running our Country are reading it.
I remember as a child being terrified of “the Russians.” We were taught back then that they were going to drop a nuclear bomb on us and take away our freedom.
Today I would rather take my chances with Putin than the Bidenistas.
…absolutely….
…but it really isn’t biden…he is just a sock puppet….it’s his administration who are the true enemy….I would like to see more focus on the ones doing the actual damage than the installed idiot…
America’s Democrats are striving to be the first corporatists/fascists in world history who were not nationalists.
Even internationalists find it useful to be nationalists, too, when required.
“Lower your expectations” can only possibly work as a call to sacrifice for the good of your country – nationalism. And that’s not what they’re saying
Lower your expectations now plays as an admission of weakness and incompetence. Your President can do nothing to help you. Your President can do nothing to fix the economy. Hardly a campaign slogan.
Ominously, in world history, people will only sacrifice willingly for their country in time of war. The Democrats badly need a war in Taiwan with China. A long war that reaches no definite conclusion. The military/industrial complex got that in Korea and Viet Nam and Iraq. The intended fuzzy end to Afghanistan was just another thing Biden botched.
China will play along if we promise not to bomb the homeland (Viet Nam got that deal, why not them?). Taiwan will finally be handed over to China when the next Republican administration takes over. The Uniparty/War Party can do this stuff in their sleep.
This, along with the sharp rebuke by CCP reps of Biden’s State Dept heads early on in the administration, reminds me of the good cop/bad cop routine we’re all familiar with from scripted television dramas. The good co always gains control by appearing to be on the side of the unwitting perp. CCP, Putin, and others are the good cops, while the traditionally free societies are the bad guys, which makes us the suckers. Let’s us not be fooled any longer.
Kissinger, Brzezenski et al thought they could use China as a buffer against the Soviets, look where that got us….the leftists and the Paul Ryans tripped DJT at every step to keep him away from Vlad after welcoming corruption especially hundreds of millions of $ worth of it…he could have, possibly, been a pretty good allY but was instead forced into the arms of….communists
Pushing Russia in CCP arms, could easily be all according to CCP’s billlions of USD subversion plans.
Cheaper than building x000 nukes and fighting Russia again.
It comes to nothing unless their is a push back quickly…… It starts with the midterms….. get out and vote and make sure these people are all lose their status and power…….
It may of course….be too late anyway!
I fear only those with the “passport” will be allowed to vote.
In Democrat held states that is a big possibility. However, I know that will not be the case in Republican held state governments. In AL Ivey is up for re-election, and already stated there will be no vaccine passports in our state.
T he left is engaging in the systematic destruction of our society at every sector. They’re funded by our enemies, foreign and domestic. Their despicable goal is for the American people to lose faith in our Republic and the system of government where it’s power is derived from We The People. They want it replaced by totalitarian rule and Globalism. That’s why there’s this big push to equate Patriotism/Nationalism with Racism/Supremacy.
“White Nationalism” is a made up term designed to taint the idea of Nationalism by adding a racial narrative using the adjective “white” as if it is somehow the same as white supremacy, which all rational and reasonable Americans reject. It’s Nationalism vs Globalism! That’s it. Plain and simple. They don’t want us to coalesce and unite as AMERICANS, because when we are United in our efforts, America cannot be defeated. Our enemies know this which is why there is such an enormous effort to find new ways to divide us and create hatred and divisions using the corrupted media and tribal partisan politics.
However, in a recent international address, Putin also very candidly pointed out that “wokeness” was nothing new: that it was exactly what Russia herself had been through in 1911-12.
He basically said that western nations could do as they want … or, they could learn how the story ends.
“History books” really do contain blood-soaked prophecy. Endlessly repeated. ?
“CONSIDER– What population inside a western democracy is going to want to fight Russian or Chinese geopolitical aggression when they view their own national leaders through the same totalitarian prism?
”
Winner, winner, chicken-dinner.
Step back a bit and consider the statements of John Paul II who wrote, paraphrasing, “We are in the battle between the Church and the Anti-Church”.
To my mind, Putin’s Russia is part of Christendom, the cabal in D.C. and Australia and Europe is anti-Christendom.
This is, ultimately a religious war.
Everybody must choose who they will serve; to Whom (or whom) they are loyal.
Would love the hear the reaction of former Warsaw Pact Nations to all this. They would be able to make the call — is this propaganda or genuine
Hes certainly saying all the right things. Putin has been thuggish at times, but he isnt going insane.
And as for being authoritarian, its not as if hes trampling on 500 years of Russian liberalism. Whos been a kinder gentler ruler .. Josef Stalin, Ivan the Terrible, the Khans of the Golden Horde?
In point of fact, I can only point to two Вождый (Bosses) who were more democratic. There was Boris Yeltsin who was manipulated by the oligarchs to the great detriment of the Russian people; and Gorbachev who was deposed
The very fact that what Putin says sounds good to us, shows how far we’ve fallen. I don’t know the man – only God does. But, we need to get our shxt together, pardon my French, or there’s going to be a world war and we’re the losers.
I loathe the people who have contributed to our downfall – culturally, spiritually, and politically.
Wow. Schooled on communism by the former head of the KGB.
Gorbachev wanted to continue communism in a reformed way; Yeltsin — and his chosen successor Putin — said No.
If Russia and China are going to fight over the carcass of the United States, I’ll side with Russia.
What I observe from the “leaders” in DC is the destruction of Western Civilization. The great works, mentioned by Putin have been undermined, our scholarly, moral founders are being desecrated and memorials to them are being torn down. All things good and high, of high moral character have been spit on and destroyed by the jackals of no character, no respect, no education.
I hate the anarchists; BLM, Antifa, FBI, CIA, the media, the DC crowd part and parcel. I hate them all and find them ignorant and contemptible.
The Bible says it is good to hate evil and to strive to stay away from it.
Putin makes a valid point.
I lost faith in American government when the obviously fraudulently elected Biden was installed as president.
When the Biden Nazi Regime started putting moms and dads out of work (who have families to feed) over a clot shot, you know who the real enemy is.
That’s when I took my American flag down and stored it away. If we ever get out of this mess created by the Biden Administration (SPIT!), I’ll fly it again. However, I doubt I will live long enough to see that.
Wonder what Putin has to say about Xi Jinping’s newly-announced efforts to rewrite the glorious history of the CCP for the occasion of its 100th anniversary. Mr. Putin, it is not just “some people in the west” who are adopting the tactics of your own Joseph Stalin. It is also that fellow-traveling communist nation to your south.
Using the principle that a nation has no friends, but only has interests, then Russia is far closer to the USA than the little morons that pull the levers in the Citystate of Washington, DC.
There is no need to foolishly believe all that Putin says, but constantly twisting the tail of the Russian Bear is counterproductive.
An alliance with Russia on trade, would counter the disgusting balance of trade with China.
But first, a house cleaning in Washington. Along with busting up all the communication Monopolies.
Whoa!! BOOM! Hurray Vlad!
You really have to admire the Russian Communists, those MFers really know how to stick to a plan!
A few years ago I typed the following.
“Secret courts, secret warrants, secret investigations, secret budgets, secret rulings, secret rules, secret laws, secret regulations, and secret decisions.
What could go wrong?
It is a damn shame we didn’t have all this “secrecy” during the Cold War, we might have actually won!”
We did. And look what it wrought.
Did we?
I have often wondered when Trump was President if he was trying to unite with Russia in a manner that would destroy and remove the terrorists from the world. Respecting each other’s country and way of life was the first step. Of course that is 180 degrees out from the multinational traditional theory that we must have war, we profit from war, and we are not about to loose control of this money making process.
Think about this. America has always demanded and forced their way of life around the world on countless sovereign nations. WHY?
The UN facilitated some of the conflicts. Mutual defense treaties, others.
My wife is Russian and I’ve thought much about this. We’ve both bridged the Soviet and post-Soviet periods, but from different sides of the Pacific. Putin is an autocrat–like most people who are allowed to be. But he is very aware of the greatness of Western civilization and is intent on preserving and cultivating it. Overall Russia is in good hands and, absent the rampant persecution of the rest of the world, would be phenomenally prosperous. They are a natural ally to the Americans who care about what is good and sustainable in the world.
I think Pres. Trump was ready to bring this natural alliance to official status. But then hmm, the Dem hoax became all about Russia, Russia and Trump thought he had to completely scuttle the potential relationship by closing embassies and expelling diplomats. This just drove Russia back into free-agent status and now we should be very worried that they have aligned with China’s intentions and work against many of ours in the process.
Having spent some time there, I have little doubt that Russia right now is superior to the place that the Democrats want to take us. But I’m concerned how they’re mostly playing the globalists’ game regarding the pandemic now, and lament that with Trump being forced to spurn them, they’ve adopted different strategies.
It too could just be propaganda.
However, I found myself agreeing more with him than 90% of my current government.
I agree more with Putin’s perspective than not only our governments – federal as well as many state and local governments – than I do with 40-60% of the American populace.
re: Taiwan
Weakness is provocative and boot-licking lackeys don’t come any weaker than Biden.
However, China learned a lesson in 2020; instead of attacking outright, they found they could purchase a country’s Bio-Medical, Corporate and Political Classes and take over without firing a shot.
If, of course, Taiwan’s Elites are just as greedy, amoral, treasonous and gutless as ours.
What’s interesting to me is that Democrats, deep state, leftists have made Russia as our biggest threat next to the existential threat of climate change of course/s. But the ChiComs want to actually go to war with America to defeat us militarily! They want a conventional war for several reasons one being the excess population of men due to China’s one child policy and abortion. The other reasons are they want to repopulate America with their exploding population and the need for our farmland to feed themselves. The ChiComs want our land but not us! The C19 bio attack was one way to weaken America perhaps kill more of us to make their goal of repopulation easier? Yet Putin is the bogeyman who has no such plans for America but “Russian collusion” is the “real” threat to our elections/democracy while the ChiComs actually committed a cyber attack during our 2020 election! The Orthodox church is growing in Russia while the ChiComs have forced out all Christian missionaries and purged Christian churches. So who is America’s “existential threat”? The ChiComs without a doubt. I think like others here that had President Trump not been forced out of office by a coup he would have had the ChiComs in serious trouble. I hope and pray the freedom fighters of Hong Kong will some day become the leaders of a new free China! With God all things are possible!
ANOTHER example where, just in my VERY humble opinion- smaller working up form there starts better.
No national marches (yet). No planned ‘demonstrations’ in D.C.
It needs to start in our communities. Our LOCAL state reps and senators and school boards and judges and Sheriffs need to be outed for good- and BAD. We need to stop letting the internet ‘likes’ tell us what is good. IMO screw what FB and Twitter think. I LOVE DOnald for trying to use Twitter to avoid the media- it worked… for a small bit. But, when they turned against him, it ALSO exposed the tyranny in that format, too.
We can still change this. Start local. Small. It DOES get big from there. The founders used to argue in FIERY debates- but, they would work it out, together. Some states and towns were different than others. And they signed an agreement to make that O. K. !! We need to get back to the REAL constitution and Bill of Rights.
With 3 ideas: term limits. Voter ID’s. Local law enforcement (on the border, too). Again, just a thought from one man.
To you.
The Obama regime would get its enemies one way, or another…. even if they had to inject a leftist judge or sheriff at the local level. (oh they did all over the place, lol.)
Who will be the Ten? The Ten rulers who will give their authority to the Beast? Could Putin be one of them? Who will be the other nine? The Beast who will be the final Antichrist figure who will try to set up its kingdom on earth, just as it has been trying to for the last six millennia . . .
“The Ten Horns that you saw are Ten Kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings with the Beast for one hour. These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the Beast.” (Apokalypsis 17.12-13)
“The Beast and the Ten Horns you saw will hate the Harlot. They will make her desolate and stripped bare; eat her flesh and burn her with fire.” (Apokalypsis 17.16)
. . . but before that Beast will reveal itself the Deep State Harlot (who everyone hates now) has to ‘fall away’ from its position of riding atop the Beast. A position of the ‘middlemen’ who enjoy their wealth and power from.
“Don’t let anyone deceive you about this in any way. It will not come until first a ‘falling away’ [Greek: apostasia – falling away from] and then shall be revealed the man of lawlessness, the son of destruction. He opposes every so-called god or anything that is worshiped and places himself above them, sitting in God’s temple and claiming to be God.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)
“The Apokalypsis from Messiah Yeshua, which God gave him to show his servants things which must shortly come to pass. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John.” (Apokalypsis 1.1)
“Little children, it is the last hour, and as you heard that Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour. They went out from us, but they didn’t belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us. But you, anointed are set apart from them, and know the truth.” (1 John 2.18-20)
“Now you know what holds him back so that he can be revealed when his time comes. For the hidden power of lawlessness is already at work. However, the one who holds him back will do so until he is taken out of the way. Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy by the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The arrival of the lawless one will be by Satan’s working with all kinds of miracles and signs and false wonders, and with every kind of evil deception directed against those who are perishing, because they found no place in their hearts for the truth so as to be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.” (2 Thessalonians 2.6-12)
The current Pope could be one of those rulers.
I have thought for some time that the seven heads refer to seven false popes starting with John XXIII, with Francis being the sixth.
When Vladimir Putin is saying things that almost tempt you to say “this guy should be running for President the United States,” it really drives home just how f-d up things have gotten at the hands of Progressives in the West (and their Globalist / CCP masters behind the scenes).
P.S. After posting it occurred to me that I should also have said that Putin – being ex-KGB – should not be trusted under any circumstances. BUT, knowing what we know now, this is equally true of anyone that is ex-CIA or ex-FBI.
You sound like an idiot.
You sound like someone who still believes the “mainstream media.”
How would that be? I don’t watch or read the MSM you Dolt.
That’s enough of that.
A voice of reason, The Gipper Lives.
Judging by Mr. Wright’s responses to myself and others, I suspect a troll … or someone who really really got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning.
Actually I’m not a troll, so your suspicions are wrong. Simple fact is you talk about not trusting Putin because of who he was in the past, yet you then said the same about our untrustworthy Govt’. The only thing you know of Putin is what our Lying Leftist Govt’ feeds you, which means you can’t trust what they say about him. As a matter of fact most Russian people are really nice and have good Family Values that America used to have, before Obama and others brainwashed half of our population. The family unit in this country is almost a fantasy nowadays. In Russia it is still a solid thing, so one of the Leaders is better than the other obviously. Trump himself was fixing our country, but he had so many brainwashed nuts who hated him simply because Obama said to, there is no fixing that. These people are truly insane, similar to the folks driving around with Biden stickers on their vehicles, even though he is ruining our economy and future wellbeing. Like yeah Biden doubled the price of gas, doubled the price of vehicles practically, made steel and lumber go up 400%, food is going up 30-40% and beyond, thinking lets just have a “Big Biden Sticker on my vehicle being the dumb ass I am.”
<ahem> Point of order. I cited Putin’s emeritus status with the KGB. I did not impugn the average Russian.
Putin’s remarks – whatever his actual opinions or intentions – did accurately characterize the subversion underway in the West by Cultural Marxist strategy. Obama as a “community organizer” was (and remains) part of that machine.
I have no doubt that Putin is delighting in observing the engineering decline of the U.S. — for all I know while he was in the KGB he might have helped (note the Yuri Bezmenov interviews in the 1980’s that told us about such efforts).
Today the CCP is the bigger threat – it has coopted many U.S. officials, academics and media figures. They are in the CCP’s service – some knowingly, some as useful idiots.
China is a bigger threat by magnitude of 10X.
Russia would be more of an ally than a threat had the Democrats stopped playing
their F*cking games with the world. Like I posted in other posts, the Democrats are in Bed with the Queen and her Banking Clan. Putin doesn’t bow to them, which is why they make him appear as a foe. He is a foe to them, but so are the rest of us. They are trying to impoverish the american working class, while enriching their donors. We are in the way… just like Trump says. The Democrats are not good for our Society, neither are most of their voters.
Everything you think you know about Putin is fed to you by the same dumbA$$es you just said shouldn’t be trusted, LOL. What we know is Biden/Obama Faction of Commies are tearing our country apart on Multiple approaches Daily, not monthly, or weekly. He is doing just like Obama did…, putting his boot on the American people’s neck and draining our Pockets of our hard earned money. He is inflicting all kinds of damage on the morale and ability of people to work and provide for their families in a meaningful fashion. I know the enemy most American’s have to deal with and it isn’t Putin.

Destroying Western credibility and fracturing Western Society is a feature, not a bug. It is the goal.
Biden destroyed western credibility when he stole the WH, everyone knows that worthless piece of SH!t didn’t win.
He had to steal it to save Obama’s A$$.
This is the reason to absorb and control the education system in Western Nations. The slide to the “desired” state of socialism (fairness for all) is taught in our schools and conflates fairness in economics with being a system of government. The lack of understanding of the difference between economic systems and form of government required to implement is the result. A large majority of US Citizens DO NOT comprehend that the level of totalitarian governing power required is directly related to the socioeconomic system to be implemented.
Interesting MaineCoon includes the video of describing Putin’s use of the Orthodox Church to help implement control. Western Governments are doing the very same thing via exploiting the “charitable exhortations” of the religions within their societies.
Note that even the Koran has allot of text dedicated to charity and if one reads the early activities of Islam, one will even find soup kitchens, free schools etc. etc. offered by the Mosques. I saw physical evidence of this while visiting the large mosques in Istanbul.
Vladimir Putin for President of the United States!
It is amazing that we have degenerated to the point that this is even thinkable.
Western leaders financed by the same (((moneylender))), just as the Bolsheviks were when they hijacked Russia (most of them weren’t Russian. According to Solzhenitsyn, in the early 1920s, of the top 525 posts in the post-Revolution government, 495 were Jews from the lower east side of Manhattan.
Being jewish myself, I know of many of the NY Jews who are hard core leftist, most of them are connected to those same families. Oftentimes they change their last names to hide the facts. Similar to married corrupt people in the Govt’, notice they always have 2 different last names, even though they are married?
Fantastic article, Sundance!!
?? China is already running the country via their purchased puppets. They have ordered the dismantling of our military, are being given our technology and secrets, and bases handed over to them, while nationalistic, patriotic Americans are being persecuted and marginalized, fed constant gaslighting, false flags, engineered crises and crime to distract from the open border Pedo Joe regime invitation to take over the country and kill/attack Americans for them. I imagine Putin is concerned about China, more than taking over the China-USSA.
That Defense Sec. Obama ass licker cannot be trusted. I find it amusing he flies into Ukraine thinking he has some pull over there. The Ukrainians don’t like Obama types, not to mention the fact that the dolt is weeding out our own Good Military members who protect our own country. They know he is a Political Hack/Liar… who is aligning with the leftist Nazi’s.
What you have to understand is that they are being allowed to fracture society in an attempt to weaken the standing American hegemony. Russia and China benefit only because nature abhors a vacuum. A diminished America, having lost much of its cultural and economic power across the globe, leave an opening for other foreign powers.
The long-term plan is to introduce a global body in the mold of the UN whose powers supersedes any one country. That means America and the other Western powers have to take a step back. It may not happen next year or even this decade, but have no doubt the planners behind this revolution are plotting America’s demise as world power.
Why do you think the Leftists managing the country are so hell-bent on destroying the Constitution? A constitutional America could not abide in their coming world order without posing a serious threat.
A Global Body similar to the Crown in Britain. This is not a new idea, nor is it a new Family running the show.
You read that speech by Putin and you start to realize why Trump got along with him. You can imagine what the two of them talked about behind closed doors. The one thing Putin loves is his Country, and the Russians are some of the most reliable fighters in the world. He will do whatever it takes to keep his Country and his people strong.
Fascinating, if you told 10 yr old me that I would one day think what once was USSR would be a place I’d consider a better place to live out my days than the US…
With IG, Facebook,. etc. you can now see how Russians really live. Most of them are living pretty decent lives, without the BS Wokeism we have in the USA. Wokeism is ruining everything like a Cancer, with Wokeism your job isn’t safe, your relationships aren’t safe, neither is the Country itself obviously with Political Hacks weeding out our Troops. Remember when Clinton/Kerry was in office and they were always stirring shit up in Russia, they do the same here. It’s because their bosses the Rothschilds demanded that, chaos enriches the money changers.
Thank you Sundance – this contributes much to explaining the big picture. I call it NeoFascism.
Thanks to Sundance for posting this powerful video and Putin’s informative speech at Valdai. However, before we drink too much of Putin’s kool-aid, recognize the existential crises that Russia faces. The biggest one is population decline: over the 12-months from Oct 2020-Sept 2021, the Russian population declined by virtually 1 million, attributed to net deaths from COVID and other reasons versus births (not taking account of outbound migration). So whatever actions Putin is taking to reinforce Orthodox religion certainly isn’t resulting in more births. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/13/russias-population-undergoes-largest-ever-peacetime-decline
You are posting from a UK leftist newspaper? I’m not sure I buy those population counts.
Putin is the best leader in the world NOW and has been for TWO decades.
Putin was able to succeed where President Trump is still battling to do so – now from out of office.
Putin destroyed the Russian Oligarchy by swift action once he became President – even though he was a virtual unknown on becoming President and had no powerbase.
Putin’s ability to do this is incredible – just witness how hard it was to replicate this for President Trump.
If you doubt Putin’s popularity in Russia – consider this – during Putin’s time in office the average income of a Russian citizen has increased over 1000%. They are more than 10 times richer per head than they were when he came to office.
Do you think people who have experienced a more than 1,000% increase in their wealth would trust the Leader who brought this to them?
I think they would.
Trumps mistake was not realizing how big the leftist Swamp is….
it is practically the entire Govt’ apparatus top … all the way down to most of the School boards
( which is apparent because Covid shined a light on them), even some local govt’s hide their marxist leftist views until they are seated in power. Most of these swampers are just there for the paychecks, others at the top are there to steer our money into their pockets via govt contracts and donors. They will do whatever it takes to keep their gravy train rolling, while the rest of us are taxed into poverty.
I’ve wondered if China itself is a pawn of the WEF types. My father always said that bankers run the world.
