The Russian blogger chipstone summarized the most salient points from Putin speech as follows:
1. Russia will no longer play games and engage in back-room negotiations over trifles. But Russia is prepared for serious conversations and agreements, if these are conducive to collective security, are based on fairness and take into account the interests of each side.
2. All systems of global collective security now lie in ruins. There are no longer any international security guarantees at all. And the entity that destroyed them has a name: The United States of America.
3. The builders of the New World Order have failed, having built a sand castle. Whether or not a new world order of any sort is to be built is not just Russia’s decision, but it is a decision that will not be made without Russia.
4. Russia favors a conservative approach to introducing innovations into the social order, but is not opposed to investigating and discussing such innovations, to see if introducing any of them might be justified.
5. Russia has no intention of going fishing in the murky waters created by America’s ever-expanding “empire of chaos,” and has no interest in building a new empire of her own (this is unnecessary; Russia’s challenges lie in developing her already vast territory). Neither is Russia willing to act as a savior of the world, as she had in the past.
6. Russia will not attempt to reformat the world in her own image, but neither will she allow anyone to reformat her in their image. Russia will not close herself off from the world, but anyone who tries to close her off from the world will be sure to reap a whirlwind.
7. Russia does not wish for the chaos to spread, does not want war, and has no intention of starting one. However, today Russia sees the outbreak of global war as almost inevitable, is prepared for it, and is continuing to prepare for it. Russia does not war—nor does she fear it.
8. Russia does not intend to take an active role in thwarting those who are still attempting to construct their New World Order—until their efforts start to impinge on Russia’s key interests. Russia would prefer to stand by and watch them give themselves as many lumps as their poor heads can take. But those who manage to drag Russia into this process, through disregard for her interests, will be taught the true meaning of pain.
9. In her external, and, even more so, internal politics, Russia’s power will rely not on the elites and their back-room dealing, but on the will of the people.
Putin is a pompous egotistical asshole!
Who knew? This idiotic rant is the most important address since Peewee Herman gave his.
Churchill? LMAO
To point #2 I then say giddey up Vlad.. what we giveth we taketh. Shut down all forms of American business to his country...just starting with American CC labels Visa..Amex...MasterCard..Discover...then it can turn back to the sh!thole ruin it was before we got there...that action alone would send that country spiraling
TO #7. Since when has any Russian rulers relied “on the will of the people”? Not in my lifetime or even in centuries before I was born.
Putin is a new “Czar” with a KGB fist of mail and a Rasputin-like grasp of propaganda. He is dangerous, and has nukes.
Wow. Are you mentally ill?
Russia is run by ignorant evil unrepentant mass murdering war criminals who are destroying they own country because they are still mad that the USA destroyed the EVIL EMPIRE they loyally served.
We do not have to close Russia off from the world, the savage and inhuman KGB Putin has isolated Russia and eliminated all of its prestige and authority. Putin has turned Russia into a failed rogue nation and a terrorist sponsoring regime.
The evil Putin regime must be destroyed.
Russia Delenda Est.
