Vladimir Putin

During the course of President Putin’s June 24 opening speech during the Moscow Parade celebrating the 75th anniversary of WWII, the following call to action was made:

Despite what American and European commentators may think, there really is a deep desire among people to vote for their own sovereignty. And that impulse was on full display last week with the announcement of the results of Russia’s public vote to approve the changes to its constitution.
The final tally put the vote at 78% in favor with a 65% voter turnout for the referendum. These are the most sweeping changes to Russia’s constitution since it was ratified back in 1993, which vested the President with immense power.

On 19 June President Vladimir Putin published an article on the origins of World War II. He wanted to demonstrate, with some documents from the rich Russian archives, that the USSR, contrary to the west’s fake history, was far from being responsible for the outbreak of the Second World War.

Analysts believe the move is designed, not only to perpetuate Putin's power, but to protect his vast wealth accumulated during his time as the country's leader, and could be worth as much as $200 billion.

I've been saying to watch Japan for a long time, particularly with Mr. Abe's commitment to Japanese rearmament. In that respect, there is a […]
