On February 4th, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian President, addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia :
"In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia , to work and eat in Russia , should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Shari ‘a Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need minorities.
Minorities need Russia , and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We better learn from the suicides of America , England , Holland and France , if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities.
When this honourable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are not Russians."
The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a standing ovation for five minutes.
My memory is rotten but I seem to remember asking here or somewhere last year if we wouldn't do well to outsource our Presidency to Putin (tongue in cheek of course.) Actually, I'd hire him as a consultant to teach our male politicians how to be a man. We'll either adopt much of his attitude or go down the drain of history.

DeleteHe would be busy as he would have to teach 99% of them.:)
One of the things that has always given me a private chuckle , is the knowledge that an old hard liner like Putin , were he ever to meet these ' silver pony tails ' of AmeriKas leftist academia like Bill Ayers , Ward Burton etc. who fantasize about a Communist utopia. He would snuff up a nasty greasy snot quid , and spit it right in their stupid face .NONE of them would make a pimple on Putin`s ass.
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure.
DeleteWhen the real ones get in power, the wannabes are always the first against the wall.
