Putin: "We can no longer tolerate the current state of affairs in the world"
EW YORK - Russian President Vladimir Putin took a defiant tone in his highly-anticipated United Nations address on Monday, ahead of a planned meeting with President Barack Obama.
Putin spent much of the speech delivering the Russian perspective on world affairs, which he said is nothing more than "honest and frank." Putin dismissed many Western officials' expressed fears about Russian expansionism, saying the Kremlin has been accused too often of "growing ambitions."
"It's not about Russia's ambitions but recognition of the fact that we can no longer tolerate the current state of affairs in the world," Putin said.
The Russian president also mocked Western ideals and how they were applied to the Arab Spring, singling out Libya as an example of how things can go wrong. Instead of the promise of democratic reform, "we got violence, poverty and social disaster," Putin said.
Putin said the "export of revolutions" continue to fail.

Looks like another time I agree with Putin over Obama.

When you’re right, you’re right. He’s still expansionist but his ‘story’ sells well.

Yet another reason why Russia is right and America is wrong.

I am rooting for the Russians to stomp out ISIS in Syria.
Can the US do the same in Iraq? Not under the current leadership, which is giving Iraq to ISIS. (And trying to give Syria to ISIS also.)

Reminder. We all modify titles. But when you do you must add (parenthesis) or [brackets] or such.

Sounds like Putin wants to return to the days when the Superpowers unabashedly decided what was best for the rest of the world, while the West has decided that all cultures are equal and does nothing to guide lesser nations to the right path. The West won't even admit there is a difference between right and wrong ways anymore.
I definitely felt safer during the Cold War than I do in the multicultural PC era of today.

Any moment now, FR’s Obama excusers will come out screaming patriotically on how Putin is evil and thats all that matters.
Putin is doing what he is because he can. Putin can because liberals elected a communist here and a communist GOP to back him.
To: Trumpinator
I'm not sure how much Putin will be able to spend on his world awakening.
The Gross Domestic Product of the Russian Federation is $ 1.86 trillion. Italy is $ 2.14 trillion. The USA is $ 17.42 trillion.

Putin all but called out Obama by name for the mess in Libya.
Yet, I doubt any Major U.S. Media will dare to mention it, if they want to keep those cushy, high-paying media jobs.
