Putin Ally Says Russia and the West Can't Mutually Coexist
Newsweek ^ | Nov. 9, 2023 | Jon Jackson

Posted on 11/10/2023 4:29:00 AM PST by canuck_conservative

Vladimir Solovyov, prominent Russian propagandist and staunch ally to Russian President Vladimir Putin, said that there "can be no mutual coexistence" between Russia and Western nations....

"We need to recognize the West is our enemy—systemic, centuries-old, millennia-old, existential. There can be no mutual coexistence," Solovyov said, according to Gerashchenko's translation...

Solovyov continued: "We should only act out of expediency. There is no need to change their minds or to please them. We just need to realize that they are the enemy. Systemic, well-trained, motivated, convinced. Which means we have to fight for minds. Not theirs, but ours."...

During the course of Russia's war with Ukraine, which is now in its 21st month, Solovyov has advocated multiple times for Moscow to make use of its nuclear capabilities against the countries that back Ukraine.

He has also said the Kremlin should unleash a nuclear strike on any country that would attempt to detain Putin over the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court in March for alleged war crimes....

When he refers to “Western” nations, he is actually referring to the depraved, degenerate, morally bankrupt nations run by DEMOCRATS and Euro-Trash!

You know, those nations that vote for infanticide, homosexual marriage, drug use and the rape of children disguised as lowering the age of consent.

All of these are primary planks within the filthy evil democrat party.

Remove democrats and you will have peace on earth for a thousand years. /spit

Russia is loaded with raw materials.
Orrery. I’m no military strategist but can you explain why, if there is a real war, supply lines are still operating? A Russian pipeline through Ukraine? Russia and Ukraine signed the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which has allowed Ukraine to export 30 million tons of grain and other agricultural products. Really?

Russians get along with their *Russian* neighbors, as long as they go along with whatever POS thing they’re told to do by whatever POS despot is in charge in Moscow.

You should read some detailed articles about conditions in the Russian countryside. Everything outside of Moscow and St Petersburg is slowly disintegrating as farms, villages, and small towns are being abandoned. They have a lot of raw materials, but the industries needed to process them are falling apart.

You live in a Liberal hellhole called Canada. Tend to your own nation and stop worrying about Russia.

There as bomb throwers that say extreme junk they themselves do not even believe.

The “vents of time.”

We have them too: we had a retired intel LTC calling our allies names because they weren’t supporting us in Iraq (he was a FOX news contributor at the time), you have some calling for deportation or internment of Muslims after 9-11 as one female commentator did, you had folks calling for the use of nuclear weapons on Afghanistan in it’s early stages...

These people carve out there existence by taking extreme positions which might have some appeal but are not reasonable. Everyone has them.

Long time since Putin has been seen.....

Putin had a public meeting/reception with Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokaye in Astana, Kazakhstan yesterday.

Can you find Kazakhstan on a map?

I wonder if the author of this op-ed knows the same can be said for Marxist rat commies and the normal American patriots they call “MAGA extremists”. I guess being a patriot who believes America can be great again is extreme in their tiny low-info minds.

America is incompatible with woke communist Marxists. They are the enemy within.

is anyone in Russia actually capable of getting along with their neighbors??

Simple answer: No. Their culture is too much derived from the Mongols who ruled the territory around Moscow for a couple hundred years ending around 1480.

Stalin, at the end of the Yalta conference in February of 1945, said to a journalist: "It's high time the Slavic race was in charge of Europe." Stalin is gone, the Soviet Union is gone, but the expansionist cultural imperative among its' governing elites remains.

Long read but useful in understanding that, despite the efforts of Peter the Great, Moscow is in many ways still more a central Asian culture than a European one.

We can’t coexist with the “West” as the Democrats want it to be.

Russia is one of 12 independent Slavic nations today. Ironically, Stalin was not a Slav himself. Most of the other Slavic countries don't want to be ruled from Moscow.

Besides the Mongol period, the Russians took on the Byzantine tradition of autocracy--Moscow was the Third Rome after Constantinople fell to the Turks. Western Europe slowly developed traditions of individual rights, limited government, the rule of law, and democracy. To characterize the West only by its failings (also found everywhere else) is comparable to the "critical race theory" types who see American history solely as the story of white people oppressing non-whites.
