Most people in the English-speaking parts of the world missed Putin's speech at the Valdai conference in Sochi a few days ago, and, chances are, those of you who have heard of the speech didn't get a chance to read it, and missed its importance. (For your convenience, I am pasting in the full transcript of his speech below.) Western media did their best to ignore it or to twist its meaning. Regardless of what you think or don't think of Putin (like the sun and the moon, he does not exist for you to cultivate an opinion) this is probably the most important political speech since Churchill's “Iron Curtain” speech of March 5, 1946.

It’s clobberin’ time.
Gist of his point? (Post looks like link bait.)
Puck you Putin!
He could break Obama like a peanut. Any. Day.
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.
Its hysterical to hear them whine about the big bad USA stirring up trouble worldwide under Old Blood & Guts Obama.
The time is right for Putin, and he knows it.
America is being led by faggots and wimps, and the country is decomposing into an ash-heap of open-borders and cultural depravity. Putin has the biggest green-light before him that any despot could ever hope for.
I thought Vlady was dying
According to the author of the article:
Putin demanded that the new world order must be “subject to international law and international agreements; refraining from all unilateral action; in full respect of the sovereignty of other nations.”
Ukraine and Crimea must be very comforted to hear about that!
My God - what astounding hypocrisy.
My take: anything the US/Euro’s/others do to form a pact and isolate Russia, will be actively resisted by Russia. ‘Actively Resisted’ is the operative implied phase that probably includes economic/fuel boycotts etc.
The low price of oil will hurt Russia more than anything.
While I have never had any direct dealings with Putin, a former top man in Maine State militia have and he said that Putin was not a man to trifle with.
There dealings had to do with the possibility that Russia would lease the former Brunswick Naval Air Station if after Maine seceded, the US tried to nullify the vote of the people.
When my dad asked if Putin could be trusted, this man said “I think so.”
did you read the summary of the points?
those points are pretty much different than your erroneous view.
you got it wrong
Note that the speech was given at an arm of the NWO crowd, the Valdai International Discussion Club. Just saying Putin doesn’t appear to be stiff arming the NWO crowd.
I don’t remember Vlad talking like this when GWB was sheriff. I wonder why?
Putin disagrees with Obama. Obviously a racist.
Putin is a pompous egotistical asshole!
Who knew? This idiotic rant is the most important address since Peewee Herman gave his.
Churchill? LMAO
