Putin on ECONOMIC POLICY: âLook at their trade balance, their debt, and budget. They turn on the printing press and flood the entire dollar zone â in other words, the whole world â with government bonds. There is no way we will act this way anytime soon. We donât have the luxury of such hooliganism.â

Putin on WELFARE SPENDING: âEuropean countries have been âliving beyond their meansâ and are now âwitnessing the rise of a dependency mentality ⦠[that] endangers not only the economy but the moral foundation of society,â Putin said. âIt is no secret that many citizens of less developed countries come to Europe specifically to live on social welfare.â

Putin on STATE INTERVENTION IN THE ECONOMY: “Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has said the US should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history and not exercise âexcessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the stateâs omnipotence.â
âIn the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the stateâs role absolute,â Putin said during a speech at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. âIn the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.â
Sounding more like Barry Goldwater than the former head of the KGB, Putin said, âNor should we turn a blind eye to the fact that the spirit of free enterprise, including the principle of personal responsibility of businesspeople, investors, and shareholders for their decisions, is being eroded in the last few months. There is no reason to believe that we can achieve better results by shifting responsibility onto the state.â

Putin is said to consider GLOBAL WARMING a fraud. âRussiaâs official view appears to have changed little since 2003, when Putin told an international climate conference that warmer temperatures would mean Russians âspend less on fur coatsâ while âagricultural specialists say our grain production will increase, and thank God for that.â http://wattsupwiththat.com/2015/10/30/russian-president-climate-change-is-fraud/
Putin on IMMIGRATION POLICY: âPutin said those who break Russian immigration laws would be banned from entering the country again for between three and 10 years depending on the seriousness of their offenses, the Moscow Times reported.
The Russian leader also vowed that authorities would take forcible action to limit the stays of immigrants who linger in Russia without demonstrating a clear intent to find work.â

Putin on HOMSEXUALITY: gay propaganda aimed at minors banned; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_LGBT_propaganda_law âMany Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values⦠Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan. This is the path to degradation.â http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jan/28/whos-godless-now-russia-says-its-us/?page=all

Putin on MULTICULTURALISM.: âMulticulturalism âelevates the (idea of the) âright of minorities to be differentâ to the absolute and, at the same time, insufficiently balances this right with civil, behavioral, and cultural obligations in regard to the indigenous population and society as a whole,â Putin argues. .â http://islamversuseurope.blogspot.com/2012/01/putin-multiculturalism-has-failed.html
Putin on CHRISTIANITY. âWe can see how many of the Euro-Atlantic countries are actually rejecting their historic roots, including the Christian values that constitute the very basis of Western civilization>
The excesses of political correctness have reached the point where people are seriously talking about registering political parties whose aim is to promote pedophilia.
People in many European countries are embarrassed or afraid to talk about their religious affiliations. Holidays are abolished or even called something different; their essence is hidden away, as is their moral foundation.
And people are aggressively trying to export this model all over the world.
Today almost all developed nations are no longer able to reproduce themselves, even with the help of unlawful migration.
Without the values embedded in Christianity, without the standards of morality that have taken shape over millennia, people will inevitably lose their human dignity.â http://kiresearch.org/2015/04/how-russia-came-to-be-a-christian-nation/
ALSO: âRussiaâs turn to Christianity is a virtually unknown phenomenon in the United Statesâ¦Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev go to Church frequentlyâ¦and seek political and moral counsel from the Russian Orthodox clergyâ¦Putin wears a Christian cross with him at all times.â
