West Has No Right to Impose its Values on World – Putin
Interfax ^ | 10/27/22

Posted on 11/07/2022 6:17:20 PM PST by marshmallow

Moscow, October 27, Interfax - The Western civilization, having abandoned its traditional values, has lost its supremacy on the world stage and, thus being a minority, has no right to impose its values on the rest of the world, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

"If western elites are assuming they can inculcate in the minds of their own people, their societies, odd but newly-fashionable trends such as dozens of genders and gay pride parades, then so be it. Let them do whatever they want, but they definitely have no right to require others to follow suit," Putin told the international Valdai Discussion Club on Thursday.

"It is the traditional societies of the East, Latin America, Africa and Eurasia who form the basis of the world civilization," Putin said.

"And respecting national identities and civilizations is in everyone's interest, indeed in the interest of the so-called West as well. And by losing its supremacy it is fast becoming a minority on the world stage," he said.

"The right of this Western minority to its own cultural identity must be assured, certainly, but on par with the rest," he said.

"Traditional values are not a fixed set of postulates for everyone to stick to. They are distinct from the so-called neo-liberal values in that in every case they are inimitable, being a result of the traditions of a specific society, its culture and historical experience," he said.

"Traditional values are not there to be forced on someone, they are simply to be respected, to be cherished as something every nation has been choosing for centuries. This approach to traditional values is shared and accepted by a majority of humankind," Putin said.

Jeeezz - look who is talking. This the kettle calling the pot black. Vlad, aren’t you being a little selective about your role in international communism? Wasn’t that the purpose of the soviet union, you rascally old KGB agent? Manifest destiny anyone?

Did Putin consult with his “world’s best” prostitution industry or his mistresses before making this pronouncement about values?

How dare Putin object to our proselytizing our perversions around the world. Thank goodness the big guy has his personal goon, NATO, to shove our perversions down the average Russian’s throat.

FTA: “And respecting national identities and civilizations is in everyone’s interest...”

Apparently not in Putin’s, because he has invaded two former SSRs in 14 years, saying at least one of them is not a legitimate independent nation.

Why did I think Russia was part of Western Civilization? Because much of it is. Russia has elements of Eastern and Western civilization.

Maybe Putin should call it something else.

Protecting Russian speaking peoples and inhibiting Sodomites is dirty business, but someone has to do it.

The values Putin is imposing and represents:

Vladimir Putin: Russian prostitutes are the best in the world

Back in the USSR: Lenin statues and Soviet flags reappear in Russian-controlled cities

Moscow reinstates Lenin statue in Ukraine’s Melitopol years after Kyiv took it down

Putin: Soviet collapse a 'genuine tragedy'

VLAD THE CAD: Meet Putin's baby mamas, secret wives and mistresses

And he's an ally of regimes like Iran and Syria to go along with the above "values" he seeks to spread across the world.

You are quite consistent in never allowing facts or reality get in the way of the narratives you spread.

“Protecting Russian speaking peoples and inhibiting Sodomites is dirty business, but someone has to do it.”

Protecting Russian speaking peoples? ‘Tis to laugh. Ukraine has a lot of Russian-speaking people, and Putin is killing a great number of them with his invasion. You don’t really think that the only “Russian-speaking peoples” are in the Donbas, do you? In any event, the oldest excuse for aggression is to “save” those similar to you from some monster whose lands and resources you covet.

The ugly part of the isms . . . communism, capitalism, socialism . . . is it’s all measured by a substance created from nothingness by central banks like the Federal Reserve. Money.

How can such a substance define anything worth arguing about?

“Bush is no longer CIA.”

Well, he is dead; so, he quite literally is no longer CIA. He died four years ago.

The West’s values they seek to subjugate the world to are Lucifer’s values.

Not to mention deliberately destabilizing and aiding in the overthrow of governments throughout Africa, Asia and Central and South America.
