Below is the transcript of the speech given by Vladimir Putin at the military parade on Red Square in Moscow to mark the 70th anniversary of Russia's victory in the 1941–1945 "Great Patriotic War."

* * *

Via the Kremlin:

Fellow citizens of Russia,

Dear veterans,

Distinguished guests,

Comrade soldiers and seamen, sergeants and sergeant majors, midshipmen and warrant officers,

Comrade officers, generals and admirals,

I congratulate you all on the 70th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War!

Today, when we mark this sacred anniversary, we once again appreciate the enormous scale of Victory over Nazism. We are proud that it was our fathers and grandfathers who succeeded in prevailing over, smashing and destroying that dark force.

Hitler's reckless adventure became a tough lesson for the entire world community. At that time, in the 1930s, the enlightened Europe failed to see the deadly threat in the Nazi ideology.

Today, seventy years later, the history calls again to our wisdom and vigilance. We must not forget that the ideas of racial supremacy and exclusiveness had provoked the bloodiest war ever. The war affected almost 80 percent of the world population. Many European nations were enslaved and occupied.

The Soviet Union bore the brunt of the enemy's attacks. The elite Nazi forces were brought to bear on it. All their military power was concentrated against it. And all major decisive battles of World War II, in terms of military power and equipment involved, had been waged there.

And it is no surprise that it was the Red Army that, by taking Berlin in a crushing attack, hit the final blow to Hitler's Germany finishing the war.

Our entire multi-ethnic nation rose to fight for our Motherland’s freedom. Everyone bore the severe burden of the war. Together, our people made an immortal exploit to save the country. They predetermined the outcome of World War II. They liberated European nations from the Nazis.

Veterans of the Great Patriotic War, wherever they live today, should know that here, in Russia, we highly value their fortitude, courage and dedication to frontline brotherhood.

Dear friends,

The Great Victory will always remain a heroic pinnacle in the history of our country. But we also pay tribute to our allies in the anti-Hitler coalition.

We are grateful to the peoples of Great Britain, France and the United States of America for their contribution to the Victory. We are thankful to the anti-fascists of various countries who selflessly fought the enemy as guerrillas and members of the underground resistance, including in Germany itself.

We remember the historical meeting on the Elbe, and the trust and unity that became our common legacy and an example of unification of peoples – for the sake of peace and stability.

It is precisely these values that became the foundation of the post-war world order. The United Nations came into existence. And the system of the modern international law has emerged.

These institutions have proved in practice their effectiveness in resolving disputes and conflicts.

However, in the last decades, the basic principles of international cooperation have come to be increasingly ignored. These are the principles that have been hard won by mankind as a result of the ordeal of the war.

We saw attempts to establish a unipolar world. We see the strong-arm block thinking gaining momentum. All that undermines sustainable global development.

The creation of a system of equal security for all states should become our common task. Such system should be an adequate match to modern threats, and it should rest on a regional and global non-block basis. Only then will we be able to ensure peace and tranquillity on the planet.

Dear friends,

We welcome today all our foreign guests while expressing a particular gratitude to the representatives of the countries that fought against Nazism and Japanese militarism.

Besides the Russian servicemen, parade units of ten other states will march through the Red Square as well. These include soldiers from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Their forefathers fought shoulder to shoulder both at the front and in the rear.

These also include servicemen from China, which, just like the Soviet Union, lost many millions of people in this war. China was also the main front in the fight against militarism in Asia.

Indian soldiers fought courageously against the Nazis as well.

Serbian troops also offered strong and relentless resistance to the fascists.

Throughout the war our country received strong support from Mongolia.

These parade ranks include grandsons and great-grandsons of the war generation. The Victory Day is our common holiday. The Great Patriotic War was in fact the battle for the future of the entire humanity.

Our fathers and grandfathers lived through unbearable sufferings, hardships and losses. They worked till exhaustion, at the limit of human capacity. They fought even unto death. They proved the example of honour and true patriotism.

We pay tribute to all those who fought to the bitter for every street, every house and every frontier of our Motherland. We bow to those who perished in severe battles near Moscow and Stalingrad, at the Kursk Bulge and on the Dnieper.

We bow to those who died from famine and cold in the unconquered Leningrad, to those who were tortured to death in concentration camps, in captivity and under occupation.

We bow in loving memory of sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, grandfathers, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, comrades-in-arms, relatives and friends – all those who never came back from war, all those who are no longer with us.

A minute of silence is announced.

Minute of silence.

Dear veterans,

You are the main heroes of the Great Victory Day. Your feat predestined peace and decent life for many generations. It made it possible for them to create and move forward fearlessly.

And today your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren live up to the highest standards that you set. They work for the sake of their country's present and future. They serve their Fatherland with devotion. They respond to complex challenges of the time with honour. They guarantee the successful development, might and prosperity of our Motherland, our Russia!

Long live the victorious people!

Happy holiday!

Congratulations on the Victory Day!

Obama: Illegals ‘Are Americans Just Like Our Kids, Except They Don’t Have the Right Documents’

I guess that can also apply to any other illegal who has sneaked in across the border ... or flown in under the radar ... or the millions of illegals who have overstayed their visa and INS just looks the other way -- Russians, Africans, Asians, and so on.

 

According to Barry, they just need, "the right documents."

Western propaganda about this speech makes me puke.  Putin's speech is almost entirely about the historic contributiions to the defet of Nazi Germany, and includes praise of the West in addition to mentioning all the USSR's ethnic groups, China, India etc.  Only two short paragraphs mention the violations of international law and attempts to establish a unipolar world, and no country is mentioned by name.  A following paragraph simply describes the effor to counter this lawlessness.

 

Yet even the Guardian has a propaganda-filled article about this.

It's simply not necessary.

Since they already own every country anyway it's more like a modest corporate re-organization of the planet when you think about it...

in fairness, the Bolsheviks were very likely aiming to betray the pact with Germany and attack and occupy much of europe.

remember - france and britain couldnt countenance Germany invading poland so they declared war...

but did not declare war on Bolshevik {lets pull this band aid off quickly - largely Jewish-run} Russia FOR DOING THE SAME THING 10 DAYS LATER.

They were also not worried about the Bolsheviks occupying ALL of Poland and about 6 or 8 other countries by direct occupation after the war.

Which should tell you that the standard narrative about why Britain and the UK declared war on Germany is a little problematic.

The Hungarians, especially, were unhappy with the communist takeover. I'd point out that the leadership was disproportionately Jewish there also - but apparently one is not allowed to say so, so I won't.

"It has been nearly thirty years since the people of Hungary rose up against the vicious Communist regime that had been imposed on them by Stalin. During the Second World War, thousands of Hungarians fought and died fighting the Russians on the Eastern Front. "Liberation" from the "Fascists"* took place in typical Soviet style: over 600,000 Hungarian males were deported as slave laborers to the USSR while, as Irving points out, "for many of Hungary's beautiful and lissom girls the first useful Russian phrase was one that anguished parents taught them: 'I've got syphilis and TB.' Workers grimly joked that their country had now known three disasters -- their defeat by the Tartars, their conquest by the Turks, and their liberation by the Russians." [*The Soviets invariably refer to "Facists" or "Hitlerites" -- never to "National Socialists"; these national socialists have some real problems with that term.]

As we know, at Yalta in 1945 that champion of universal brotherhood and democracy, Joseph Stalin,affirmed with his fellow champions Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill "the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live." Elections did take place in Hungary in November of that year, with the local Communists and Social Democrats obtaining only seventeen per cent of the votes. (The people of Hungary had not forgotten the short-lived Communist regime led by Bela Kun ["Cohen"] that had drenched the country in blood before being overthrown by popular forces in 1919.) Failure at the polls in 1945 did not faze the Reds, who set aboutto undermine the Hungarian Republic. After all, as the author reminds his readers, "the whole Communist advance is based on conspiracy and intrigue, and Party members relish and revel in it." By the end of 1947, the Communists, backed by Stalin's Red Army, aborted the fledgling Republic.

To run his Hungarian satrapy, Stalin picked one Matyas Rakosi (born "Roth"), described by Irving as an "ugly Jewish dwarf"who had "the tact of a Kosher butcher." Irving, not one to fear an awkward truth, discovered that the Communist regime and its terror machinery was viewed by the Hungarian people -- and, it turns out, the U.S. State Department -- as being almost entirely in the hands of Jews. A "Jewish Quartet" ruled the country: Rakosi, Ernest Gero (born "Ernst Singer"), Michael Farkas ("Wolf") the defense minister, and Joseph Revai, minister of propaganda. The AVH, dreaded Hungarian equivalent of the NKVD, was headed by a creature who went under the name of Gabor Peter, but had been born as "Benjamin Auschpitz." Peter (sic) staffed the AVH with fellow Jews. Irving points out that "The regime's high Jewish profile caused deep resentment." He cites the work of an American sociologist, Jay Schulman, who interviewed many Hungarian refugees after the events of 1956 and found that "the Communist leaders were perceived as Jews by almost 100 percent of the people we have seen."

Is it true that Obama didn't go to the National Mall yesterday for the commerative flyover?  I saw Ambassador Rice gave a speech.

Just looking at margolis' bio one can tell he is an ultra left mouthpiece...Huffington Post......NY Times.

Memo to Mr. Margolis:

If the US/Brits hadn't been punishing the German troops in North Africa, Hitler wouldn't have sent Rommel in, and taken away a lot of Guderian's tanks just when they were needed most against the Russians.

Douglas MacArthur was driven out of the Phillipines in no small measure because FDR diverted a lot of supplies from the Phillipiens to Vladavostok.

The Soviets entered a neutrality pact with Japan in 1941 which allowed them to remove forces from their eastern flank and successfully defend Moscow.  Later when victory was assured, the Soviets declared war on Japan.  So where were the Russian helping the Us defeat Japan when we really could have used it.  Pearl Harbor was attacked after the pact was struck.

Russia was trying to grab half of Poland and entered into an alliance with Hitler in early 1939 to accomplish that end.

Stalin stopped his offensive against the Germans on the banks of the Vistula river outside of Warsaw just as the residents of Warsaw rose up in rebellion.  Stalin let the poles do his dirty work for him.  Poland was much wealer afterwards and easier to subdue.

Stalin massacred in the Katalin Forest, a very large contigent of the Polish officer corps which had fled to Russia in order to continue the fight. 

US/Brits sent all sorts of supplies to Russia through the Artic to Archangel.  On one of those convoy runs, more than 80% of the ships were sunk.

Stalin purged more than half of the legacy officer corps in the '30s.  if he had left his military alone, hitler never would have thought of invading.

The loss rates of the Allied bomber forces was on the order of 50%.  How many Russian bombers were rading Berlin, Hungarian oil fields/refineries, ball bearing factories, etc?

Yes, the Russians lost many more lives that the Aliies, but they were stoooooopid in their use of assets.  The Soviets never would have won the war w/o the Allies.

I do get so tired of the relentless America bashing.

> If the US/Brits hadn't been punishing the German troops in North Africa, Hitler wouldn't have sent Rommel in, and taken away a lot of Guderian's tanks just when they were needed most against the Russians.

Rommel totally had 2 divisions and a few battalions in North Africa.

Guderian commanded 2nd Panzer Army that as of September 30, 1941 had 15 divisions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2nd_Panzer_Army

But Guderian's troops were but a part of von Bock's Army Group Centre that as of October 1941 (before battle of Moscow) apart from Guderian's 15 divisions included von Weichs' 2nd Army - 8 divisions, von Kluge's 4th Army - 11 divisions, Hoepner's Panzer Group 4 - 11 divisions, Strauss' 9th Army - 15 divisions, Hoth's Panzer Group 3 - 8 divisions.

And in addition to Army Group Centre there were Army Group North and Army Group South. Here are the total numbers: http://www.axishistory.com/axis-nations/134-campaigns-a-operations/campa...

As of October 1941 the number of German divisions on the Eastern front: 149, the number of German divisions in Africa: 2. These numbers kind of put the skirmishes with Rommel in Africa into perspective.

> So where were the Russian helping the Us defeat Japan when we really could have used it.

Russians fought Japan in 1939: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_Khalkhin_Gol

Where were the US and UK then?

> Russia was trying to grab half of Poland and entered into an alliance with Hitler in early 1939 to accomplish that end.

Poland was a part of Russian Empire until 1918. Upon the Bolshevist revolution and civil war Poland grabbed as much Ukrainian and Byelorussian lands as they could. When Germany invaded Czechoslovakia, Poland took an opportunity to annex a small part of Czechoslovakia too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaolzie

USSR strongly opposed these events, but Poland, France, Britain just nodded to Hitler signing Munich agreements. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement

With all major powers turning a blind eye on Hitler, while USSR was fighting Japan on Khalkhin Gol in 1939, the USSR and Germany agreement allowed to postpone the war to better prepare for it and also it allowed to bring back Ukrainian and Byelorussian lands from Poland.

> The loss rates of the Allied bomber forces was on the order of 50%. How many Russian bombers were rading Berlin, Hungarian oil fields/refineries, ball bearing factories, etc?

Yup, carpet bombing, bombing of civilians as in Dresden and Hiroshima, "bombing back into the stone age" are distinctive features of the US and UK way of war.

So what are Poland's natural borders?  In the 18/19th century, the Polish military had the upper hand and used to invade Russian all the time.  I think perhaps the Danes did as well.  One of those Romanov's - Alexander the Great? - put a stop to it.  The Muslims/Turks used to invade Crimea all the time.  I can't quite recall what th Crimean War was about.  I think that Russia got a little too assertive about owning Crimea.  The point being that those borders have been rearranged for centuries.

I noticed that you didn't refute Stalin letting the Warsawians and Germans destroy each other while the Red Army sang campsongs on the banks of the Vistula.  Stalin slaughtered the Poland officer corps in order to better defeat the Germans.  They must have been consuming too many rations.

Thanks for enlightening me about the relative number of troops in Russia vice North Africa.  I read a book by German Gen Manfred van Melathin some time ago.  He asserted that the movedment of assets from Russia into North Africa was a game changer.

THere is quite a bit of speculation that Stalin leaned very hard on Churchill to bomb Dresden.  It would have been unlike Churchill to give in to that sort of pressure.  Dresden was a borderline war crime.  Hiroshima no doubt saved ten of thousdands of of both Japanese and American lives.  Go read about Coventry and the Zepplin raids on London during WWI.

Should we talk about who bled more stopping the Germans in WWI?  Russia coped out and let the Allies do the dirty work.

What a nonsense. Poland in 19th century was a part of Russian Empire. How could they possibly had an upper hand while being completely owned?

For a few years Napoleon restored Poland, but it hardly was independent, it was made by Napoleon subordinate to the Kingdom of Saxonia. As soon as Russia defeated Napoleon, this puppet state was taken back to Russian Empire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Warsaw

Going back to the 18th century, Russia consistently defeated Poland and ultimately took over their lands. When indeed Poland had an upper hand, it was in 16/17th century. You are off by 2 hundred years. But in 16th century it was not exactly Russia as we know it now. It was rather the Moscowite kingdom. The list of Russian-Polish wars: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Russian_War

Natural borders of Poland is hard to define based on their 16/17th century borders. It was an expansionist multi-ethnical empire on its own. It was trying to expand until ultimately clashed with Russian Empire, and the Russian Empire prevailed. After this defeat Poland was reduced to its ethnical borders.

Crimea was invaded by turks during the times of Mongolian conquest. It was theirs since then. They have been invading Russian lands from there from time to time, until turks were defeated during the rule of Catherine the Great. So Crimea was annexed to become another part of Russian Empire. This happened in 1783.

As for Poland in 1944. the Soviet Army conducted this offensive operation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Bagration

The operation resulted in the almost complete destruction of an entire German army group, with the loss of Army Group Centre's Fourth Army, Third Panzer Army, Ninth Army.

But Soviet Army also suffered big casualties during this operation: 200'000~ killed and missing, 590,848 wounded and sick.

Is this what you call singing campsongs? The soviet troops were exhausted and could not continue the offensive, they needed reinforcements, resupplies, and such. This is war. Warsaw uprising was instilled by British empty promises and Polish government in London exile, who were again hostile to Soviets and simply didn't like the idea that it would be Soviets troops who liberate Warsaw from Nazis. So they tried to do this on their own. Stalin was open from the get go that the Soviet troops were not ready for further advances at that point. And when Russia-hostile Britain-supported elements failed once again to show any credible resistance to Nazis, of course, this is once again Russia's fault.

When Soviet troops became ready, they started another offensive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vistula%E2%80%93Oder_Offensive

Total Soviet casualties in Poland amounted to some 500 thousand deaths. This is about the same figure as total US casualties in WW2. So that's really funny to see in work absolutely Orwellian accusations of Soviet Army not helping Warsaw uprising. Why then the US waited until 1944 to go to Europe, until the bulk of German war machine was annihilated by Soviets?

Before WW2 Poland and USSR were hostile nations having border disputes. There was covert activity by each side to help their cause. Very unlike Britain and France who were supposed to be friends of Poland. What these friends did to help Poland? Nothing apart from supporting their anti-russian stance. Perhaps Soviets unjustly punished those of the Poles whom they found to be their enemies. This is a controversial story. There are some accounts that Katyn massacre was actually done by Nazis.

On the other hand not all of Poles were treated like that. Soviets formed Polish troops from those Poles who found to be friendly with Soviets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_1st_Tadeusz_Ko%C5%9Bciuszko_Infantr... ?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_People%27s_Army

Regarding your reading, Germans considered Russians subhuman race before going to war. How they could possibly acknowledge a defeat in a face-to-face war? Of course it has to be something else. Even as ridiculous as 2 divisions in Africa having any impact on the performance of 149 divisions on Eastern front. But I have to admit that this Goebbelsian-Orwellian absurd works quite well with uneducated and gullible western audience.

Also funny how it works in the case of Hiroshima. How come killing of thousands of Japanese civilians saved Japanese lives? Somehow Soviets troops defeated Japanese troops in 1939 in Khalkhin Gol without resorting to such kind of tactics. And in 1945 Soviet troops defeated Japanese in Manchuria without such tactics as well. http://historyfollower.com/operation-august-storm-soviet-union-invades-m...

The horrors Russia delt with after the war and before the war were exactly why Hitler rose up and attacked them. He wasnt against Russians, he was against communists and bolsheviks who were even more racist and brutal than hitler could ever imagine to be.

 

The "Allies" (zionists) were and are the bad guys to this day. Yes.."we" won and now we have the IMF, the EU and Goldman-Sachs along with other central banks running the world (the zionist global death cult)

 

The 'Axis" were the good guys. They weren't the hardened racists the west makes them out to be, they just didn't want other alien races/peoples in their country and were against usury and corrupt economic policys that degraded nations.

I dont know what to think. The Nazi's statism, racialism, racism, and love of eugenics makes them evil fucks for whom mass murder would not be a moral issue.  the pogroms and persecutions of regular people just running shops , etc was disgusting and beyond doubt.

 

But jail for doubting 6 million  dead Jews... the intellectual terrorism, the unceasing reminders of unique and blameless Jewish suffering - telling me it is not permitted to doubt anything about some orthodoxy or other will cause me to wonder why the truth should so fear inquiry.

 

I dont know. I do know it is used to collaterally justify Israeli warcrimes, and used to prevent discussion of disproportionate Jewish power *transnationally*.  power that is ethnocentric and  controlling, and unjust.

 

The jews had written the books of the torah before Christ. And they seem clearly to advise ethnocentric chauvanism, xenophobia and ethical duplicity.  it is likely that "anti jewism" was initially and often a reaction to Judaic, racialist and xenophobic behavior in 'alien' communities, and a vicious cycle was begun.

HELLSTORM
The Biggest Cover-Up In History

Winston Churchill told Lord Robert Boothby:

Germany’s most unforgivable crime before the Second World War was her attempt to extricate her economic power from the world’s trading system and to create her own exchange mechanism which would deny world finance its opportunity to profit.

If you calmly look at the statistics you will see that Germany suffered fewer civilian deaths than several of the countries it attacked.

The documentary shows a one-sided anti-Allies view. All war is horrible and atrocities happened on both sides.

At times German troops took no prisoners and at times Allied troops took no prisoners as they would have slowed down attacks and used up resources.

Germany had bombers and bombed cities, Allies had bombers and bombed cities.

Scythians were Iranian, basically.  and dna testing shows that matrilineally, ashk. Are mostly preindoeuropean - as are the Basque, Celts, and English.  There was clearly some Khazar conversions, but also male Jews from the levant.

 

Curiously, the Gaels also get some "jewish" diseases like Tay Sachs. Stands to reason its a shared pre Indo link.

 

The Bible contains zero record of the builders of Newgrange and Stonehendge, which predate it by millenia.  it is also replete with errors and fabrications.

 

When you stop worshipping the bible as sacred and know it as Hebrew/Egyptian/Assyrian/akkadian mythos... you can begin to see a wider and deeper world.

So then Mr Putin where was the International cooperation when you unilaterally seized territory from the sovereign state of Georgia?  Where was the international cooperation when Russian agents provocateurs fomented rebellion in eastern Ukraine?  Where is the international cooperation as you use ethnic Russian populations to foment instability in the Baltic states?  

Do you really expect the world to believe your bullshit that Russia "voluntarily gave up it territory" after the collapse of the Soviet Union? Sorry you fascist pig but it was called "The march of the sovereigns" for good reasons.  It became a "unipolar" world primarily because Russians suck at governance. They fucked up imperialism twice now.  Do you think that "the third time's the crarm"?

Well maybe you do but the rest of the world knowns better.  You've got your oil but that's about it.  To bad you can't eat it or make vodka out of it.  Nearly five times the population of Italy but barely the GDP of Italy.

Like I said you suck at governance. Maybe if Russia included an apology to the world for starting WWII in cooperation with Hitler and enslaving Eastern Europe for nearly half a century to go along with your celebrations of the end of that very war might give you whoning some street cred. Did Russia ever give Finland back the territory it stole from them? How about apologizing to the Baltic's to their enslavement of over fifty years. Who in Russia was ever held accountable for the millions who died in the gulags? Certainly not communism or your KGB brothers.

In short the only credibility Russia has ever had on the world stage has been as a global bully.  Revanchism in post WWI Germany was ungly and came to no good end.  It's just as ugly in post Soviet Russia.  Grow up Pootykin, grow up.

The american coup was cool though, right? 

 

Pretty sure the cause of rebellion was the threats made by Jewish oligarchs and ukie nazis. D.C. was fine with kiev killing its own people and enabling the planned imf riot, but I guess the Rusukies took exception.

 

I dont blame them.

Fuck peace and tranquility. Hopefully Putin doesn't actually believe in that shit....

There are 2 ways for mankind (and for individuals) to die. In passion, or in weakness. Our desire for peace and tranquility is mankind's weakness. Let us hope that he never reaches his goal.

Hasn't Putin read Dostoevsky lately?

"May it not be that he loves chaos and destruction (there can be no disputing that he does sometimes love it) because he is instinctively afraid of attaining his object and completing the edifice he is constructing? Who knows, perhaps he only loves that edifice from a distance, and is by no means in love with it at close quarters; perhaps he only loves building it and does not want to live in it, but will leave it, when completed, for the use of LES ANIMAUX DOMESTIQUES--such as the ants, the sheep, and so on. Now the ants have quite a different taste. They have a marvellous edifice of that pattern which endures for ever--the ant-heap."

Peace and tranquility is the hope for all who want to turn mankind into a domestic animal. We'd surely live happily ever after, but it wouldn't be much of a life! And how much beauty in the world would be lost, and how prematurely mankind would have peaked and finished its evolutionary course. The method towards our peaceful death: to wage war against war.

 "Putin" is said to be a threat to the world because he has sent his armies to invade, bomb, and occupy many countries; conducts kidnapping, torture, and assassination world-wide; maintains the world's biggest gulag; and says that is good because Russia is the "exceptional" nation that must have full-spectrum dominance over every other nation in order to protect its own national interests.

[... "Putin" ?]

You can never ever be certain about anyone's motives, but reading Putin's speech - and many other speeches and interviews he has given - I find it virtually impossible to believe that he has an evil intent of recreating the Soviet Union as some propagandists in Washington, Westminster, Europe and the Western MSM would have us believe. He wouldn't be advocating a multi-polar world if he secretly wanted a unipolar world with himself at the helm.

Nazism was a great evil. Nazism was the fascist ideology. Putin with his nationalistic polices and bulling neighboring countries is fascist himself.
The war in Ukraine is not just a matter of Crimea and Donetsk. Ukraine abandoned its atomic weapons for guarantee that its borders will not be violated. This guarantee has been broken. The precedence has been made and today, no country which has or is working on atomic weapons, will ever give them up for any warranty. This means that the danger of nuclear war, danger to the existence of this planet, has increased many times. And therein lays the unforgivable crime of Russian policy.

Russia - One day you will reap what you have sawn. May God have mercy upon you people.

"May God have mercy upon you people."

Dear Mr 4weeks and 5days: "May God have mercy upon your understanding of geo-politics."

Methinks that if you were Putin in Russia and saw the West engineering a fascist coup in Ukraine followed by NATO trying to install itself in the Ukraine on your borders, you may take a different view of matters.

Why do you think yourself to be a specialist in geo-politics, because you are longer than me on this blog? What a joke.
NATO cannot install itself wherever they want but Russia can? NATO did not invade or attempt to invade Russia. Russia first invaded Chechnya, Georgia and now Ukraine. Ukraine’s choice was to be part of the democratic western culture. They did not want to be part of traitorous, degenerate and alcoholic east. Can anyone blame them?
Lenin, Stalin, Putin - all of them communist/fascist dictators and murderous criminals. All of them driven by false ideologies. Russia’s history is full of crime against their own people. Millions were killed in revolutions and various expurgations. Probably millions more will be killed, as long as Russia allows itself to be governed by dictators and megalomaniacs.

Crimes against your own people are worse than crimes against others?

I don't think so.  

Because the US never dropped napalm on Baltimore or Ferguson, can we alleviate the more serious charges against them?

When Russia invaded Chechenia, those countries shared a border. Can you explain why the US invaded Vietnam (6000 miles away) and Iraq (7000 miles away)?

Ukraine’s choice was to be part of the democratic western culture. 

250,000 neo-nazis in Maidan Square you are calling "UKRAINE'S CHOICE"?

If being a specialist in geo-politics is what you really and truly want, sancho0, you prolly should familiarize yourself with both sides of each of the stories you opine on.

I am not proclaiming myself a specialist in geo-politics, I simply put forward my opinion on certain issues.
Yes, I believe that crimes against you own people are the worse kind. Especially if as a result of these crimes millions are losing their lives. That’s what occurred during communism era in Russia. They destroyed all intelligentsia during the revolution and only low live alcoholic scum was left behind.
I see that you believe that it is OK to attack other country if you share the border and it is bad to attack countries which are far away. Very strange logic.
Yes, Ukraine has got neo-Nazis, so does Russia or any other country. Nobody is invading and partitioning Russia or any other country because of this.

So your opinion is that American Nazis are the best, American invasions are the best, American lies are the best...

and American napalm is the best.

 

Have a nice rest of your life.

Do not conflate Soviet USSR with Russian Federation

Soviet was never a Russian construct

From 1917 thru Stalin was never Russians in control

The Revolutionary Leaders were not Russians, nor were most of the lead henchmen

You either know nothing about or chose to ignore these truths

Russians suffered more than any

read Solzhenitsyn. He told they hated Russians and Christians

Even Krushchev and Breznev were Ukraine nationals

and Gorby half Ukrainian

I didn't say I was a specialist in geo-politics. I suggested that if you put yourself in Putin's position, you might see things differently.

Do you think that when the agreements to end the Cold War were signed, that if the US had told the Russians that they were going to quit a ABM Treaty and march Patriot missiles up to the footing of Russia's borders (and eventually into Georgia and Ukraine), that the Cold War would be over today?

Of course not.

The West deceived Russia during the negotiations to end the Cold War.  Gorbachev himself has said so.

But it doesn't please you you believe him.  You prefer to believe the Lying Liars of WMD.

What is the point of commenting here, if you don't think for yourself?

Ukraine legitimate elected Government was overthrown by violence.

That is only violation of borders. Planned and financed from outside, as had been previous takeover efforts.

Ukraine has never been a sovereign nation.
