Mr. Putin is
absolutely correct!
Thank you,

It is no great secret that I have
absolute admiration for Vladimir Putin. He is perhaps the grandest of all
political giants yet he prefers to walk in the shadows of lesser giants. I have
yet to conclude if Mr. Putin is a man comforted by obscurity, or a man who
contemplates in silence and ponders how to shield Russia from the encroachment
of a New World Order. Many envision Putin as a cold and calculating individual,
yet I see a man who has a love of country and growing commitment to humanity.
Yesterday, Vladimir Putin
celebrated the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad. His
speech embodied the spirit of patriotism and nationalism – two ideals which fly
in the face of globalism.
……….Vladimir Putin, called the battle ''one of the greatest examples of
world heroism'' during a stirring address to veterans on Saturday that played
up the nationalist themes of his third Kremlin term.
''Stalingrad will forever remain the symbol of the unity and
invincibility of our people,'' Mr Putin said. ''It is a symbol of true
patriotism - a symbol of the great victory of the Soviet soldier-liberator.''
The half-year battle in 1943 - much of it fought in close-quarters
combat in the ruined streets - claimed the lives of 2 million people and
eventually led to the surrender of the German troops.
The battle marked Hitler's first big defeat and led to a Nazi retreat
from Soviet territory after the lightning invasion in June 1941 that had caught
Stalin unaware.
Mr Putin has preached a patriotic message since returning to the
presidency in May after serving four years as prime minister. He told the
veterans that ''no country can live without [patriotism] because otherwise it
will simply dissolve like a lump of sugar in a cup of tea''.
Thank you,
