MAGA and Putin, two peas in a pod!

<


In what the New York Times sees as a speech "seemingly aimed more at winning over political conservatives abroad than his own citizens," Putin argued that there are "two Wests"—one of "traditional, mainly Christian values," and one that is "aggressive, cosmopolitan, neocolonial, acting as the weapon of the neoliberal elite." He spoke of gay pride parades and dozens of genders, adding: "In the United States, there’s a very strong part of the public who maintain traditional values, and they’re with us. We know about this." He said Russia is not the enemy of the West, but it will continue to oppose "elites" whose "goal is to make Russia more vulnerable and turn it into an instrument for fulfilling their geopolitical tasks."
