US ambassador to the UN said Putin 'wants the world to travel back' to a 'time when empires ruled

The US ambassador to the United Nations said on Monday Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to set the world back to a time when the Russian Empire reigned.

Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield made the comments during a UN Security Council meeting convened to discuss Russia's actions in Ukraine. Earlier on Monday, Putin announced Russia would recognize two separatist regions in Ukraine as independent states and ordered troops into the regions, prompting swift condemnations and threats of sanctions from the West.

During the meeting, Thomas-Greenfield said Russia's actions were an attack on Ukraine's sovereignty and a violation of international law.

"He has since announced that he will place Russian troops in these regions. He calls them peacekeepers. This is nonsense. We know what they really are," she said, adding that the move was "clearly the basis for Russia's attempt to create a pretext for a further invasion of Ukraine."

5. The right in the Western world has decided to jettison the post war international cooperation model.

They want to go back to kings, nobility, serfs, and slaves...or as close to it as they can get. And lets not forget it has to be governed by a Christian theocracy.
