Putin Said It Is Russia's Responsibility To "Take Back" Territories From Nations by RedScorpion(f): 1:32am On Jun 10, 2022 |
‘Taking it back’: Vladimir Putin likens himself to Peter the Great Russia’s President Vladimir Putin likened himself to Russian monarch Peter the Great, the tsar who led a conquest of the Baltic coast during his 18th-century war against Sweden. Putin also spoke of his country’s need to “take back” territory and “defend itself” as the Kremlin’s forces continued a grinding war of attrition in eastern Ukraine on Thursday. After visiting an exhibition in Moscow dedicated to the 350th birthday of the tsar, Putin drew parallels between Peter the Great’s founding of St Petersburg and modern-day Russia’s ambitions. He told a group of young entrepreneurs “you get the impression that by fighting Sweden [Peter] was grabbing something. He wasn’t taking anything, he was taking it back”. When Peter the Great founded St Petersburg and declared it the Russian capital “none of the countries in Europe recognised this territory as belonging to Russia”, Putin said. “Everyone considered it to be part of Sweden. But from time immemorial, Slavs had lived there alongside Finno-Ugric peoples,” he added. “It is our responsibility also to take back and strengthen,” Putin said, in an apparent reference to Russia’s offensive in Ukraine. “Yes, there have been times in our country’s history when we have been forced to retreat, but only to regain our strength and move forward,” he said. ‘Sovereign or a colony’ The defeat of Sweden in the Great Northern War (1700-1721) made Russia the leading power in the Baltic Sea and an important player in European affairs. But with Russia’s ties with the West currently shattered by the Ukraine invasion, Moscow authorities are downplaying Peter’s affinity for Europe and focusing on his role in expanding Russian territories. Putin appeared to leave the door open for further territorial expansion, while asserting Russia’s sovereignty. “There is no state in between. A country is either sovereign or a colony,” he said. “It’s impossible – do you understand – impossible to build a fence around a country like Russia. And we do not intend to build that fence,” Putin added. Peter I reigned first as tsar and then as emperor from 1682 until his death in 1725. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2022/6/9/putin-likens-self-to-tsar-hints-at-russian-territory-expansion Mynd44 Lalasticlala Seun

Ecclesiastes 7:21 ► New International Version Do not pay attention to every word people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you— So one thing is clear The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive. Congress asked one general in nato what they are doing near Russia he said this war has shown to them that nato won't expand again towards Russia I laughed when I saw his response to USA Congress this shows nato have learnt a lesson they actually thought they can creep in without a response from mother Russia. God bless putin God bless mother Russia. 1 Like |

RedScorpion: I have been telling guys here that Russia invasion of ukraine is about land resources. Not about NATO. Russia has been land grabber historically. That is the reason Russia is the largest country in the world by land mass. Tsars of Russia empire would invade weaker nations and tribes, subdued and russified them. Putin is doing the same thing. 5 Likes 1 Share |

If you meet a serial killer you will understand how blood intoxicate Once you start killing people it becomes sweet to you and to hunt down a human being is delicious according to experts Now nato has drank Afghanistan blood, Iraq blood, Libya and Syria and so many blood it became sweet to them and common Infact they now turned to mother Russia they thought they will apply the same no fly zone like they did in other countries and kill people like they use to It was when putin declared to nuke any one who stands in it way that they woke up from the intoxication they were in It is not every blood that you can drink that for sure that why they end up catching the serial killer Oh the west saw in a vision how Russia would destroy their beautiful old city that they built on the back of black slaves We all saw what Hiroshima and Nagasaki became and Russia has proved to have 800 times powerful devastating energy the same nuke used on those city's The same way USA ran away from Afghanistan due to the constant death of their military men and the expensive cost of occupation that how they ran away from Ukraine and watched from a distance Finland should take a lesson from this but they won't because death covers the eye of whom it won't. Let put a stop to USA hegemony. And save the world. God bless putin God bless mother Russia. 3 Likes |
