It's all a scam to protect Putin's military industrial complex. Putin's worth $75 billion; he didn't get that money by faithful government service. He's also helping Iran get a nuclear weapon. I don't see what that has to do with oppressed “Russian speakers.”

He says Westerners are concerned about wealth and material comfort. Those things don’t concern the Russians - and they have far higher levels of tolerance for pain than Westerners do.

The West believes in nothing. I think that’s an accurate assessment.

Mr. Karaganov said Mr. Putin was pushed toward his nationalist new line by the West, which ignored Kremlin protests over the past two decades as NATO and the European Union expanded towards Russia’s borders and into Moscow’s historic “sphere of influence.”

The man has got a point. We wouldn't have wanted Mexico as a member of the Warsaw Pact.
