Global security involves more than political and military matters. It also economic stability and the overcoming of poverty. It also must involve a dialogue of civilizations based on the principle " Security for one is security for all."
Since the end of the Cold War, there has been an attempt to establish a Unipolar world which means one center of authority, one unopposed force and one center of decide making."
This system is pernicious as it harms everyone including the one sovereign who is harmed from within. A Unipolar world has nothing to do with democracy which is majority rule.
Russians are taught about democracy by people who do not practice it themselves.
The Unipolar world is unacceptable and impossible in today's world.
The Unipolar world leads to arbitrary and unpopular actions which does not resolve problems. Wars and regional conflicts have not diminished but increased. All this in violation of international law. Because nobody can believe international law can protect them there is an international arms race.
The world is changing. The purchasing power parity of the GDP of both India and China is greater than the USA's. The GDP of the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China) is greater than the Eu's. This gap will only increase in he future. Multipolarity will be strengthened by that economic growth.
This should lead to Multipolar diplomacy.
We need openness, transparency and predictability not unilateral force.
Nations that have abolished the death penalty freely participate in the use of lethal force in foreign lands.
I'd trade the Bidet even up for Vlad to be the CinC here. I've got friends in Russia, I wouldn't do that to them.
Putin's speech at the Valdai Discussion Club 2021 (10 min)
I know that man better than I do my ex-wife. I trust Putin better than her.
“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.”
I'm no fan of Putin, but I'll admit that he appears to be about 16 times smarter than the demented ChildSniffer.
He's an impressive fella, Strait. I wish you could see him through my eyes.
Loddy is #1 Vlad is #2.

I see him through the eyes of those millions of Soviet citizens who were enslaved, starved, and murdered in the KGB's (Putin's) gulags.
You might be thinking of Stalin or Lenin.
I'm not going to argue.
I hope you're not too upset about the negro/lesbian athlete that was taken into custody/prison trying to pervert the Russian culture by smuggling drugs into Russia with black privilege.
They should publicly execute that (thing).
