(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!
Putin is one of my favorite less evil politicians. He has charm, has brains and guts and exKGB not like LKY - extraitor.
ReplyDeleteBtw, it is not accurate to quote Holland or France cos if one wanted to live there, have to know dutch or french. All the official documents/ signboards whatever are still in their native languages.
ReplyDeletewhat talk you? Putin wants to talk about minorities in general talk minority, don't focus on Sharia and muslims. If you want to focus on muslims then focus on muslims and leave out the other minorities.
ReplyDeleteNational interest must include the minorities of a nation. It is another thing to talk about foreigner workers and migrants and new citizen. If you don't want them then change your policies and stop trashing minorities and other. We know how Singapore work against her minorities, and China's against the Uighurs and Tibetans.
Many foreigners marvels at Singapore success, but they don't know Singapore success is build on ever increasing populations of foreigners, from 2 millions now aiming to 7 millions, the bottom layers more and more are living in hands to mouths existences, with ever more cheaper foreign workers from third world to take away their jobs and depressed their pays?
ReplyDeleteThink it is not fair to compare our political leaders to that of other nations. Sg is like a small mamak stall at the void deck while other nations are like Walmart. So, the comparison is out of proportion.
ReplyDeleteAnyway Sg is only aspiring to be a nation which it never will be, for it has demised during gestation. At the best, it will be still born as the parent s have failed to take care of the foetus(of nationhood) during its' formation.

In Singapore, you have to say Singapore is not a nation, Singaporeans have no culture and no identity. Then you will walk into Parliament or even higher office.
ReplyDeletePutin is a superior statesman. Wah, can shift from president, to PM then to president. Plus he can kick anyone's ass. He is like a Lee Kuan Yew with MMA fighting skills. And he has no problem killing people. Even the Russian Mafia and the oil oligarchs are scared of him.
ReplyDeleteThe point is this: he's being political. Getting support. Playing the "Us vs Them" card.
Nearly every cuntry in the world is having issues with immigration. It seems all the local populations DO NOT WANT immigration of large numbers. And savvy politicians seize the opportunity to bolster their power base.
Makes perfect sense. The man understands politics. He is already powerful, what better way to increase that power by winning over hearts and minds (of scared Sheeple), by giving a Hitler-like speech?
Like Lee Kuan Yew, nothing Putin does is not calculated.
PUTIN IS THE 3RD. CRUSADER. HE IS THE HUMAN ERECT SPINEHOLDER OF MODERN HUMANS WITH CIVILIZED INCLINATIONS. ITS THE DUTY OF THE HEART DISEASED LEADERS TO TAKE SHELTER UNDER THIS CHIVALROUS PERSON, LEADER, STATESMAN, WHO UNDERSTANDS POLITICS, NATIONLISM, WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOUR OF STUPID POLICY OF HEAD COUNT POLITICS. HE SPOKE OUT THE TRUTH THE IMMEDIATE DEVASTATING CLASH OF CIVILISATION, WHICH NEED TL FOUGHT TOOTH& NAILS BY THE REST OF THE WORLD WITH THOSE TRYING TO RADICALIZE BY BARBRIC THOUGHTS& ACTS. MY WARM LOVE& SALUTE TO PUTIN . PLEASE MIGHTY AS YOU ARE , CAN ONLY SHOW THE RIGHT PATH OF A PEACEFUL WORLD ORDER!
ReplyDeletePUTIN is a great leader, I wish the US had one.
ReplyDeletePutin didn't say this
ReplyDeleteExcept for a previous post, all of you have simply assumed he actually made that speech.
ReplyDeleteHere’s the link to the Kremlin website which archives all of Putin’s transcripts. There doesn’t appear to be any with him making that speech.

Furthermore, here’s what the TruthOrFiction website has to say:
Truth of Fiction
So, this appears to be another scam designed to reveal just how gullible we are, willing and eager to spread rumors and/or half-truths!
According to TruthorFiction.com, Putin never made such a speech.
ReplyDeleteInstead, the origin of the story could be traced back to a speech by
Australian Finance Minister in 2006. Here is the link:

Besides this being hugely false, Putin dislikes political NGOs way more than minorities.
