Putin: Crimea is Russia's Temple Mount

The Crimean Peninsula "is of huge importance for the Russian nation, just as the Temple Mountain is for people of Jewish faith," Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday in an attempt to defend Russia' annexation of the formerly Ukrainian region. ....

"The west wanted to run Yugoslavian scenario in Russia. Just as Hitler failed to destroy Russia with his misanthropic ideas, everybody should just remember how these things end. Our army crushed the Nazis and liberated Europe," Putin said

Continuing with his World War Two analogy, Putin said that there was also a need to cooperate to prevent such large scale wars, which he said was being threatened by US exceptionalism.

"We also can't forget the terrible events of 1941/2. This brings us to issues of international security. The US continues to build global missile defense system, effecting everyone's security. This gives them this sense of impunity, and raises risks. We are not going to get ourselves dragged into an expensive arms race, but will address our security … We have unorthodox ways for that. Nobody will gain a military edge over Russia."

Unorthodox ways”— for example, Islamic Terrorists secretly controlled by the KGB/FSB. Criminal gangs. Subversion. Extremist Parties secretly under control by the FSB. Assassination. Bribes. A knife in the back, some radiation in your tea.
