Vladimir Putin seems to think the West and the GAE are in the business of looting.

The prosperity of the collective West is largely based upon the “pillage” of its colonies all around the globe, Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed.

The president made the remarks on Thursday as he spoke during the plenary session of the 20th meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club in Sochi.

The entirety of Western history has been about “endless expansion,” and it still pursues such an approach with the whole world to keep its prosperity, he asserted.

“Western influence in the world is a massive military-financial pyramid. It constantly needs new fuel to support itself: natural, technological, human resources belonging to others,” Putin told the plenary session.

Why, the GAE is only interested in self-defense! As reported in this story about the empire’s downing of an erratic Turkish drone which came too close to imperial troops busy looting the oil and resources out of Syria which the GAE illegally invaded as part of its chaotic neocolonial scheme and international trouble-making tour. It all— Oh, maybe that’s the kind of thing he was talking about.
