Putin Responds to Elton John: Respect Majority? Liberals Invented 5 or 6 Genders: Transformers?

Sorry, you have to read the translations in the video or follow below.



You have already mentioned the recent interview with the Financial Times. It has
been widely quoted and broadly discussed, especially regarding your feelings
towards liberalism.  There were those who agree with that and those who disagree,
even the famous singer Elton John argued with you, accusing you of hypocrisy.

The interview was also discussed here, at the summit, if I am not mistaken, Mr Tusk,
Mr Juncker, and I think Mr Macron even talked to you about it. As other politicians
and leaders expressed their opinions, did they support you or, on the contrary, did
they argue with you about the liberal idea?

Thank you.


In Some European countries, parents are told that "Girls should not wear skirts to
school for safety reasons" What is that? Listen, people are living in their own country
in their own culture. What is that? How did it get so far? This is what I was talking
about.

It has gotten too far, in my view, that this liberal idea starts devouring itself. Millions of
people live their own lives whereas those who promote those ideas, they seem to be
living in their own paradigm. This is what I was saying. I don't see anything special
about it that I had not talked about earlier.

Or, you brought up the example of Elton John. I have a deep respect for him, he is a
genius of a musician. In reality, he comes to Russia, and we all really enjoy listening
to him. I think he is mistaken. I did not give a different slant to anything here: it is true
that we really have a very calm attitude towards the LGBT community. Truly, it is
calm and absolutely unbiased.

We have a law that everybody has been kicking us for - a law prohibiting homosexual
propaganda among minors. But listen, let a person grow up, become an adult and
then to decide who he or she is. Leave children in peace.

There are so many inventions nowadays. I also said in that interview that they
invented five or six genders, transformers, trans... You see, I do not even understand
what it is. I wish everyone good health and God's blessing.

This is not the problem. The problem is that this part of society is aggressively
imposing their view on the majority. We have to be more loyal to each other, more
open and transparent. I did not say anything unusual. We have to respect everyone,
that is true, but we must not forcibly impose our points of view on others.

Meanwhile, representatives of the so-called liberal idea are simply forcing their ideas
on others. they dictate the need for so-called sex education. Parents are against it,
and they are practically imprisoned for that. This is what I was talking about. We are
aware of what is going on. The question was related to the way we assess the
situation in our partners' countries, I think.

Yes, people are fed up with that, and this may actually account for the Trump
phenomenon, when he won the election and people's discontent, underlies it in many
countries of Western Europe when they walk out into the streets.

This is the point. Meanwhile, everyone is looking for the reasons somewhere far
away and trying to blame Russia for what is happening there. Do we have anything
to do with it? Yes, there are certain polemics in the information sphere, and we have
expressed our point of view about it.

Don't they do it themselves? Of course, they do, all the time. We are not making
noise or getting hysterical about their constant interference in our affairs, even
though their interference is present on a daily basis. But this is what has been
established, the practice of international relations, unfortunately. I wish this did not
happen. But there are deep reasons and they do not want to admit them. That is
what I said about. I think I said nothing new because I have talked about it a number
of times before.

Thank you very much.

Nothing in that with which to argue!

Some people go nuts when anything positive is said about Putin, and it's true he is our adversary.

But when you're right, you're right.

Putin obviously read Solzhenitsyn, who warned the West of what was happening.

Solzhenitsyn was a great one. I have read most of his writings. Highly recommended.

Putin seems to have a minor advantage in a law that prevents
access to our children. He spoke very directly but did select
his words with care.
