Russian President Vladimir Putin again attacked Western liberalism in a fiery address on Thursday, blasting so-called cancel culture and advances in gay and transgender rights.
Speaking at the annual meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, Putin stressed that his country should adhere to its own "spiritual values and historical traditions," while steering clear of "sociocultural disturbances" in the West.
Some Westerners believe "the aggressive deletion of whole pages of their own history, reverse discrimination against the majority in the interests of minorities . . . constitute movement toward public renewal," Putin said. "It's their right, but we are asking them to steer clear of our home. We have a different viewpoint."
Putin, who told the Financial Times of London newspaper in 2019 that liberalism had become "obsolete," has loudly advocated for what he considers to be traditional family values. In his Thursday remarks, he said the notion that children are "taught that a boy can become a girl and vice versa" is monstrous and "on the verge of a crime against humanity."

It is indeed sad when the russian leader makes more sense than the so-called leaders in the US!
It’s an upside down world!
What normal human being does not agree with Putin in what he says?
amen, Vladimir.
Western civilization has increasingly removed itself from its Judeo-Christian roots. Thus we have come to a place where a significant number refuse to acknowledge the basic truths of nature. Embrace of pagan ideas are the norm for many.
Folks, this happened to ancient Israel, which ended in Assyrian and Babylonian invasion. Paul the Apostle writes about it happening on an individual level in Romans chapter one.
A spiritual awakening is needed.
Pray.
Thinking the same....when a former KGB officer gets it right it shows you how far off the road we’ve drifted.
When Russian and Chinese leadership make more sense than your own, you’re in clown world.
the US has been pushing our cultural values and morals on other countries for years some of which are completely contrary with local culture. Here Putin is saying, “back atcha.”
sort of reminds of a few years ago when there was an article about Africa sending missionaries to America to bring Christ back to American churches.
“..Thinking the same....when a former KGB officer gets it right it shows you how far off the road we’ve drifted...”
Agree completely.
Liberalism/wokeness is the BORG of this century.
They’re totally insane and hellbent on totally destroying everything we hold dear.
There’s only one “solution”, but nobody wants to talk about it.
He and Trump are gonn’a hook up again and align against China
“..When Russian and Chinese leadership make more sense than your own, you’re in clown world....”
^THIS^
hope we don’t pull a “picard” and allow the borg to live like he did in STTNG.
On almost everything except the vaxes Pootie-poot has been more sensible and godly than anyone in our freakin’ evil government.
“...and allow the borg to live like he did in STTNG....”
True...LOL...although Seven Of Nine was pretty cool in the Voyager series.
The point is; they want EVERYONE either assimilated or dead....THAT is the enemy were facing. The sooner people realize this, the sooner the “solution” will come.
ONE undeniable attribute Putin has.... HE gives a s*&t about Russia!
No one can say that Joe gives a s*&t about the US!!
When Ryan's character 7 of 9 showed up on Voyager the viewership jumped. The word was kate was jealous of her....one can see why. They seemed to get it worked out.
Money...when the viewership jumped...Kate Mulgrew could keep her paycheck a while longer!
yep....money talks...even in roddenberry’s liberal utopia of star trek.
