Russia will always be Russia. We will continue to\u00a0defend our values and\u00a0our Motherland.<\/p><p>The\u00a0West is counting on\u00a0impunity, on\u00a0being able to\u00a0get away with anything. As\u00a0a\u00a0matter of\u00a0fact, this was actually the\u00a0case until recently. Strategic security agreements have been trashed; agreements reached at\u00a0the\u00a0highest political level have been declared tall tales; firm promises not to\u00a0expand NATO to\u00a0the\u00a0east gave way to\u00a0dirty deception as\u00a0soon as\u00a0our former leaders bought into them; missile defence, intermediate-range and\u00a0shorter-range missile treaties have been unilaterally dismantled under far-fetched pretexts.<\/p><p>And\u00a0all we hear is, the\u00a0West is insisting on\u00a0a\u00a0rules-based order. Where did that come from anyway? Who has ever seen these rules? Who agreed or\u00a0approved them? Listen, this is just a\u00a0lot of\u00a0nonsense, utter deceit, double standards, or\u00a0even triple standards! They must think we\u2019re stupid.<\/p><p>Russia is a\u00a0great thousand-year-old power, a\u00a0whole civilisation, and\u00a0it is not going to\u00a0live by\u00a0such makeshift, false rules.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, Russia is not stupid, but it is also not wearing the white robe of innocence either.   After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Oligarchs swooped in, and plundered the assets of the State.   What Russia does have however is the thousand-year history he mentioned, and it isn&#8217;t pretty.  I am certain that he recognises this, and that makes a strong point.  Russia has a very long history and culture.  One that he does not want to see erased, or ignored.   What he sees going on in the West is the erosion of morals, character, and faith.  He does not want the sexual alphabet mafia, the sexualization of children and the decadence that is spreading across the Western cultures to infect and destroy the Russian culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following quote hit me kind of hard since I had just finished reading Mark, Chapter 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Let me repeat that the\u00a0dictatorship of\u00a0the\u00a0Western elites targets all societies, including the\u00a0citizens of\u00a0Western countries themselves.

This complete renunciation of\u00a0what it means to\u00a0be human, the\u00a0overthrow of\u00a0faith and\u00a0traditional values, and\u00a0the\u00a0suppression of\u00a0freedom are coming to\u00a0resemble a\u00a0\u201creligion in\u00a0reverse\u201d\u00a0\u2013 pure Satanism.
