Vladimir Putin has accused the West of "outright satanism" during a 37-minute tirade at a ceremony announcing the annexation of four Ukrainian territories.
The Russian President and leaders of the four regions signed treaties to annex Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhia - a move that has been dismissed as a "sham" by Ukraine and Western nations.
During the 37-minute speech Putin said the West had no right to speak of democracy and that Western nations were acting like the imperialist states they had "always been".
"The dictatorship of the Western elites is directed against all societies, including the peoples of the Western countries themselves," he said in his address on Friday.
"This is a complete denial of humanity, the overthrow of faith and traditional values. Indeed, the suppression of freedom itself has taken on the features of a religion: outright Satanism."

He’s not wrong.
He’s not far from the truth here, but Putin is no angel himself.
“The dictatorship of the Western elites...”
He is not stupid.
Captain Ovvious, eh.
Anschluß, anyone.
“History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes.”
Putin is spot on regarding the plague of perverts running the West with an iron fist.
How do you write the German double s?
I am not & will not defend Putin HOWEVER, I suspect that here in 2023, Russia is a much more Christian nation than the US. I also suspect Russia is a much more Religious nation than the US.
I copied from Wiki.
Apple makes it easy, but on Windows do one of these two:
He’s right, but he’s also a worshipper of the Prince of Darkness - his deeds attest to that.
Takes one to know em’.
HE'S NOT WRONG!.
We should pray for Putin. It would do him (and us) good.
Look what happened to Gorbachev and Khrushchev.
Among the many strange things I think about is just how much more evil America is than other countries.
There are some statistics that we can go by, but it’s debatable as to how authentic they are depending on the source.
*Abortion Rates
*Rates of homosexuality
*Child trafficking
*Drug abuse/use
*Alcoholism
*Unemployment
*Violent Crime
*Poverty
IMHO, as bad as America is - we’re a vile hellhole - Russia might just be up there with us.
Only God knows..
Regarding the moral decadence of western nations - he is right.
Regardless of how corrupt the Ukraine is, it's a sovereign nation. There is no justification for Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine.
Putin warts and all understands cultural degradation
You sure got that right!
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Sadly, it is the US and West that has turned away while the people of the former Soviet Union shed themselves of the communist and resurrected their faith and their churches, which had been suppressed for over 70 years.
True but he loves Russia and it’s culture
He’s a killer
But is he any more corrupt than our current batch?
What happened to Gorbachev & Khrushchev?
Didn’t both die as unrepentant unbelievers?
There are no good guys these days.
