Thank you 2nd Most for posting the entire Putin speech, one of the most important, and telling, of a world leader in the last 100 years, and with which I am in full agreement. Articulate and honest. I’ve more relevant background than most, e.g., inside Kremlin without ID in 1991 for all night meeting re discussions post-USSR. My education inside Russia on reality of “Mother Russia”, fierce, deep loyalty resultant from WWII experience, and how in 1991 they had great respect for and wanted to emulate our apparent democracy, as well as most of their General Staff’s respect and admiration of our military, which I passed onto General Alexander Haig. I was “trusted”, and with good reason. To say I’m ashamed of our governments’ (plural) selfishness, dishonesty, and betrayals in the meantime is an understatement. Putin hit everything on the head in this very long speech, as he does with his four hour open press conferences, the likes of which we would never see in our country. I look forward to the day when we can return to being an honest nation, respecting the sovereignty of nations, International Law to which we have signed our name, and our own Constitution.
