Thread: Putin Criticizes US Ahead of G20 Summit

LONDON—
With world leaders gathering in Australia for a meeting of the Group of 20 economic powers, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the United States of "crudely violating" the spirit of international cooperation that should drive groups such as the G20.

In an interview published Friday, the Kremlin leader said that during the two-day summit he would not bring up the issue of sanctions, imposed by the United States and the European Union, for Russia's military activity in Ukraine. But he said he would respond if other national leaders broached the topic.

"Of course, it is harming us to some extent, but it is harmful for them as well,” he was quoted by the Russian news agency Tass as saying. “It undermines the whole system of international economic relations.”

Putin's comments came as the September ceasefire in eastern Ukraine has rapidly fallen apart. Shells fell on the Donetsk suburb of Petrovskiy Thursday, damaging homes and injuring at least one person.

Ukraine, NATO and others criticized Russia this week for sending troops and heavy weapons into eastern region that are home to many who oppose the Kyiv government. Moscow has denies the accusations.

Nick Redman, of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said Russia may worried about keeping the annexed peninsula of Crimea supplied through the winter. Ukraine has cut the Black Sea region off from the mainland; the only overland supply line with Russia is across the Kerch Straits.

“With the onset of winter, it will be difficult for Russia to supply Crimea; it might be more useful to have some sort of land corridor," he said. "Within this there is a broader political dynamic, of course. It suits the Russian leadership quite well to keep the Ukrainians off balance.”

Yes it's shocking the way they are trying to disrupt the cash flow and head off Vlad's invasion and expansionist efforts from the Baltic to the Crimea......probing here and there looking for suitable landing spots and whatnot.....

They just "fell".

I hate it when that happens.

All the merkins objecting to Putin, whilst completely ignoring 30 plus years of violent aggressive hegemony by their precious country. Fucking hypocrites.

This is all a charade to start a new cold war with the Russians which was very profitable, timed with most normal people realising that the continued unprovoked attacks on Muslim countries is harmful, detrimental to peace, and the prime reason for radicalised islam sect.

Of course, the token american flag wavers will disagree.

President Putin has been saying may things about different world leaders and organisations. Mostly all pretty relevant and true to the unprogrammed thinker.

Oh yes, he's such a great statesman. Why does he incessantly provoke and attempt to intimidate the Baltic countries? Why does he send armed bombers to the Canadian borders? Why does he violate the territory of Sweden? None of these countries sends its military to Russian airspace. Sweden isn't even a member of Nato. What's his fleet doing near Australia?

Zygote is so funny. Such a typical mainstream media mug.

^The Russian state controlled media and outlets owned by Putin's cronies are much unbiased. Dream on.

He posted a broad and comprehensive response to your one track mind finger pointing...which is always in one direction; and all you have for a comeback is the usual "mainstream media...brainwashed by FOX news bullshit....

(Inevitable that OhOh would be along pretty quick when Putin was mentioned......why don't you get together and try to come up with something that's not a direct quote from RT or Iranian National TV foreign language station....)

While we're at it, you might want to reflect a bit on the Russian invasion and attempted occupation of Afghanistan, where they got the snot kicked out of them.

Putin is a dangerous ultra-nationalist goon, running what is virtually a rogue state these days,....get over it and stop spouting anti western bollocks FFS....

Don't worry about pseudolus, he is a blinkered muslim lover.

That's the understatement of the century - very diplomatic of him.

Only difference is that people cheering on the US hegemony and invasions believe that their media and press is neutral and unbiased. Well, they all rely on advertisers for their money, most owned by industrialists or banks (if only through shares), and all say what large corporations want them to say who invariably want wars.

And you think Obama, bush, camermoron etc are not? beggars belief how simple you are.

You really are a twat. Simply beyond some people to accept that there are people in the world who do not judge others on race, colour, religion, and can accept that some are bad and others are good. I'm in Bahrain soon and will be interested to see what it is about that country that has turned you into such a bitter hate monger. I assume though that you are addicted to media tittle tattle, celebrity wank mags, and gossip columns that your hatred comes from the tosh you read.

We could start with the Africom role in Africa.

What a load of crap.
It's easier to blame the USA for the continued madness of people you term as a "radicalised islam sect", then to hold the majority of muslims responsible for their violent behaviour. Yours is a double standard. A hypocritical one at that. The USA has had negligible involvement in the African region where Islamic terrorists are running amok. Nigeria has been battling its muslim madmen for decades.
The latest group Ansaru sprang to life in 2012 and its main goal is ‘to reclaim the lost dignity of Muslims of Black Africa’ and to create an Islamic caliphate from Niger to Cameroon and northern Nigeria. Have a look at the history of that region and you will see that the USA has had almost no presence. The crazy psychos who run Malaysia with their racist agenda that discriminates against ethnic Indians and Chinese can't blame the USA for its riots and ethnic clashes. The Islamic uprisings in China have nothing to do with the USA anymore than the long running civil insurrection in Russia's Chechnya. You conveniently don't mention Russias long history of brutal discrimination imposed upon the muslim dominated states that Russian annexed and/or controls as vassal states. You know what's smack dab in the middle of the Volga Basin? One of Russia's largest muslim populations and they are restless and don't like the ethnic Russians with good reason.

So, instead of dealing with the current lengthening list of Russian aggressive moves into others countries territory you just want to talk about past American transgressions, muslims, bankers, corporations and rich people.

So in your mind anyone who speaks out against Russian aggression and belligerence must be a shill for the US or simply brainwashed by the western media.

In your mind everybody that is remotely pro-US...or pro-western, must be that way because they only pay attention to the corporate controlled tabloids or TV networks etc.?


This thread is supposed to be about Putin, and his posturing and bullying. It's not about Muslims, or banks, or the rich, or the corporations or anything else.....but you want to drag them all in, to distract the conversation away from the fact that Putin is an ultra-nationalist and dangerous individual leading a very corrupt and increasingly belligerent nation....or perhaps it would be more accurate to say, a nation with increasingly belligerent leadership.

Russia has been busy instigating security alerts and confrontations all over the place by frequently nibbling at the edges of territorial lands, waters, and air-space where they have no good reason to be....and that does not even include the cross border forages into Ukraine. Most recently, Australia is now wondering why three Russian warships are currently hanging around, off their North coast.

There is no good or necessary reason for them to be there other that as a low level provocation of yet another western country, as part of some overall plan to raise tensions between the western alliance, and what Putin likes to think of as the rising of a new Tsarist Russia; with him as the Tsar.

There appears to be some distinct traits of megalomania about our Vlad, and the longer he remains in power, the more manic he becomes; so the more tense the world will likely become; unfortunately.

Maybe his own peace loving Muslims will do him in one of these days......

Sounds as if your trying to say that Russia has invented a new form of hybrid warfare, which the Uk and USA having being doing around the world for many years.

Nice distraction from the flag wavers. How many countries is the US in having invaded, and engaged in military operations against the people of that country. How many are Russia?

^Five stars for "originality." Yes, the aggressors no doubt invented the USSR, the Communist Party, Goologs, invasions of numerous Eastern block countries, (Poland, Checkloslvockia, etc.) and now Russia is to be considered justified in their most resent invasion? Huh?

You may find Europe and the US are responsible for supporting and provoking the Ukraine coup.

They might want to check themselves before critiques come forth.
There is just as much guilt and hypocrisy in their corner.

Empires accusing one another for their equal crimes.

Bullshit, you are the one using distraction from the subject of this thread.....

This is NOT about the USA or Muslims, corporations or any of the other stuff you harp on about incessantly in every thread and every other post......

This thread is about Putin...and the..Russian aggression, provocation and expansionism..... If you want to talk about USA or the depredations of investment banks and mega-corporations there's plenty of other threads to whinge on.

Better still, maybe you should just stick to degrading Thais, the BIB and Thailand in general...that's nice and simple, and is always sure to score a few points here on TD.... You can still continue to call anyone who disagrees simple, stupid and everything....

Koman are you saying the UN IMF Europe or USA have nothing to do with the Ukrainian problem its all Putin(Russia).?

I specifically left the Ukraine situation out of the discussion (see post 16) but never mind....

Yes, we all know that the United Nations, IMF, EU, and USA are in full and secret collusion with Goldman Sachs, IMB, Boeing, Coca-Cola and a whole range of Jewish charity groups and bagel shop owners, who control the 'mainstream" media and the world.......how could anybody not know such a thing.....

Notwithstanding all of the above; Putin is an ultra-nationalist, ex-KGB Colonel and goon. He is connected to, and fully supports a whole range of ex-KGB goon, mafia style "businessmen" who basically looted the treasury, and used their insider and privileged information to make huge fortunes when the Soviet system collapsed, taking the life savings and pensions of millions of Soviet citizens with it.

He does have a couple of redeeming qualities however. He apparently likes dogs and horses. They do say that there is good and bad in everyone.(even Hitler had a soft spot for kids..as long as they were blond and of proper Teutonic stock) ....but he is one dangerous individual, and anyone who does not recognize that really has to be a bit of an imbecile.....

NB....none of the above is pro US...or pro-western...or pro-anything.....it's just anti-Putin....which is what this thread is supposed to be about....PUTIN.....PUTIN....PUTIN.....get it?
