Putin unhinged: 'Oligarchs would sell their own mothers'.

[speak easy]

'[National traitors] who cannot make do without foie gras, oysters or gender freedom as they call it'.

Except from Wednesday's address to Russia

Yes, of course, [The West] will back the so-called fifth column, national traitors – those who make money here in our country but live over there, and “live” not in the geographical sense of the word but in their minds, in their servile mentality

I do not in the least condemn those who have villas in Miami or the French Riviera, who cannot make do without foie gras, oysters or gender freedom as they call it. That is not the problem, not at all. The problem, again, is that many of these people are, essentially, over there in their minds and not here with our people and with Russia. In their opinion – in their opinion! – it is a sign of belonging to the superior caste, the superior race. People like this would sell their own mothers just to be allowed to sit on the entry bench of the superior caste. They want to be just like them and imitate them in everything. But they forget or just completely fail to see that even if this so-called superior caste needs them, it needs them as expendable raw material to inflict maximum damage on our people.

... But any nation, and even more so the Russian people, will always be able to distinguish true patriots from scum and traitors and will simply spit them out like an insect in their mouth, spit them onto the pavement. I am convinced that a natural and necessary self-detoxification of society like this would strengthen our country, our solidarity and cohesion and our readiness to respond to any challenge.

2. In a way he is right...

oligarchs who are true Russian patriots should be working hard to send Putin to the Hague, along with his comrades. This would work wonders to restore respect to the Russian people.

3. No, he is not right. Oligarchs sell their daughters.

5. It seems like he's working very hard to insure that that's exactly what's going to happen

He and his yes men have completely lost their grasp on reality at this point.

4. Whoa, there, Vladdy!

You speak mountains of blather!

Do you REALLY want people to form caricatures of your personality and presentation of your many laments? You're begging SNL to do whole shows just on you.

Oh, poor Vladdy... he's dejected multi-billionaire... Stole billions from his countrymen and women, and now his fee-fees are hurt!

Now let's not get Vladdy even more upset. He doesn't know what he's going to do with nukes. Let's listen to him and maybe give up some of what he wants. But not too much! Maybe a dollop of whipped cream on top of his caviar!
