RT.com – Dec 19, 2024
Russian President Vladimir Putin held his annual ‘Direct Line’ event in Moscow on Thursday during which he addressed a wide range of issues in the marathon Q&A session. From regrets about the timing of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine to blunt comments on global and domestic challenges, the Russian leader offered numerous insights into his thinking. Here are the key takeaways from the event:
Putin: Maybe we should have launched the Ukraine operation earlier
The Russian president acknowledged that it might have been better to have launched the military operation in Ukraine sooner.
“You know, if it were possible to look at the situation in 2022, knowing what is happening now, what would I think? That such a decision, which was made at the beginning of 2022, should have been made earlier,” he said. Putin added that he acted at the time “because it was impossible to stand still and wait for the situation to get worse for us – that’s what it’s all about.”
He said the operation is a necessary step to secure Russia’s national interests, dismissing accusations of aggression.
Moscow ready to talk to Ukraine, but Zelensky needs to be elected
Putin signaled Moscow’s willingness to engage in talks with Ukraine – but with conditions.
“We are ready for dialogue, but if not with the head of the regime, then with whom? If he is illegitimate himself. You know, if someone runs for election [and] gains legitimacy, we will talk to anyone, including Zelensky,” Putin said, implying that Vladimir Zelensky lacks democratic legitimacy due to his having postponed the elections.
He also criticized Kiev’s Western backers for prolonging the war by supplying arms.
Zelensky will likely go abroad
Putin speculated that Zelensky might seek exile, hinting at the potential political fallout in Ukraine.
“He will be supported by the people whose interests he serves today,” the president remarked.
Porn is a global ‘scourge’
Putin addressed what he described as the moral decay caused by internet pornography.
“This is not only our problem, but also the problem of many other countries,” he said. “The answer can be what? In general, you could ban, but you should always offer an alternative that is more interesting than a porn site. So that a person would get in there, open a porn site and say: I’ve already seen this, I want to see something else.”
His comments came amid broader discussions on family values and youth policies.
The demographic issue is one of Russia’s key problems
Putin listed Russia’s declining population as a strategic challenge, blaming economic instability and societal shifts.
“Demographics are a crucial issue for Russia – and for much of the world,” he said. “We need to create conditions where people want to have children.”
He promised more state support for families, particularly in rural areas, but acknowledged progress has been slow.
Migration is an issue acute for Russia
Russia’s labor market is grappling with severe labor shortages, which Putin attributed to a dwindling native workforce and reliance on migrant labor.
“The migration issue is acute,” he admitted, adding that illegal immigration must be controlled while skilled foreign workers are welcomed.
He noted that regional instability in Central Asia has further complicated migration patterns.
Relations with China at all-time high
Putin hailed Russia’s partnership with China as unprecedentedly strong, underscoring its geopolitical importance.
“Our relations with China are at an all-time high – both economically and strategically,” he stated, highlighting joint energy projects and military cooperation.
He dismissed claims that Russia is overly dependent on China, calling the partnership mutually beneficial.
Israel is the big winner in Syria, Russia did not lose
Turning to the Middle East, Putin acknowledged that Israel emerged as a key player in Syria but rejected any notion that Russia had suffered a setback.
“Israel has gained influence in Syria… but we achieved our objectives,” he argued.
“Russia’s presence there has always been about fighting terrorism and stabilizing the region, and keeping down the Islamic State,” he explained.
Putin reveals no contact with Trump for four years
Putin disclosed that he has not spoken to incoming US President Donald Trump since he left office in January 2021.
“I haven’t spoken to Trump for four years,” he said, adding that Russia-US relations remain strained regardless of who occupies the White House.
Putin also criticized what he called the US’s “hostile policy” toward Moscow under the administration of current President Joe Biden.
Black Sea oil spill an “ecological disaster”
Putin described a recent oil spill in the Black Sea as an environmental catastrophe.
“This is an ecological disaster,” he lamented, calling for urgent cleanup efforts and pledging federal support for affected regions.
He blamed negligence by oil companies and promised that those responsible would face consequences.
GARDEN BIRDS
Simple way to save your garden birds this winter as Chemtrails and virus puts them at risk
people are being urged to help blackbirds this winter by providing food and reporting any issues due to a new virus threatening their population. Blackbirds, one of the most abundant birds in the UK with an estimated six million breeding pairs, are a familiar sight in gardens nationwide. Unlike migratory birds, blackbirds remain in the UK during winter, requiring a steady food supply to survive the harsh, barren months. However, it’s not just food scarcity posing a threat; chemtrailing and a new virus has emerged as a significant danger. The British Trust for Ornithology warns of a decline in blackbird populations due to the Usutu virus, a mosquito-borne disease fatal to these birds. The Trust stated: “Blackbirds are a common bird in gardens across the UK, from rural areas to the hearts of cities.

Nigel Farage’s blistering eight-word warning to ‘terrified’ Labour and Tories Nigel Farage has issued a stern warning to the Rothschild Conservative and Labour parties after the Electoral Commission called “to protect the electoral system from foreign interference” in light of Elon Musk’s meeting with Reform UK.
Reform UK is in “open negotiations” with US billionaire and tech tycoon Mr Musk about him donating to the party But now doubt has been cast over whether it can actually happen as Britain’s election watchdog has urged the UK government to take a tougher stance on donations to political parties.
Vijay Rangarajan, chief executive of the elections watchdog, told the Guardian that linking donations to political parties to the UK profits of companies owned by foreigners needed to be changed. The move would, in turn, place a cap on the amount of money that the Tesla CEO could donate to Mr Farage’s party.
Yet it turned a blind eye to the Rothschild owned parties Labour and Tory
who take money from Mossad
I suspect regardless of what he’s saying now Putin had to wait eight years to build up military supplies and industrial capacity to resupply, knowing all along he’d face a Ukraine resupplied by NATO and in all but name fighting against NATO. His words now may be a bone for the western media or his own people to chew on, but nothing can change what’s happened but talk of what happened can forever be manipulated. He’s shaping a perception for whatever purpose suits Russia now but the important thing is they acted.
ok be serious now
this is the kings christmas message

Most certainly there was a deal between Russia and the Israeli-run West, with Russia taking the eastern Ukrainian regions in exchange for getting out of Syria. What this means is that the resistance to the evil centralized and totalitarian forces in the West cannot trust or look to Russia, Putin or the Russian people for any help. Clearly they are no help to any people or nation struggling for self determination. They are just another lap dog of Rothschild bankster dynasty. Also, the Covid plandemic made it very clear that the entire Russian establishment including Putin’s government was as rotten as our own.
Israel Connection To Drone Psyop & Netanyahu Government “Unanimously Approved” Plan To Settle Syria

Comment by Ekaterinburg, December 16, 2024
“Today, Putin’s friends (israelis) are levelling Tartus. Tartus is where the Russian naval base is located…
Hasn’t Putin helped enough his zionist masters by capitulating in Syria without a fight while betraying all his allies?
This is how the jew always thanks his “allies”, especially the weak ones as the jew is only strong against those who can’t defend themselves like children.
We’ve been told by media that Hezbollah signed a “ceasefire” with the zionist occupiers. A “ceasefire” that was brokered by the US Jew Amos Hochstein, a former israeli army officer (sic).
We’ve been lied to, Hezbollah didn’t sign a truce, they agreed to a surrender.
Since November 28, the zionist invaders have violated this so-called “ceasefire” every single day, have continuously bombed Lebanon and killed Lebanese people. What they are doing is quite clear, they are destroying Hezbollah tunnels and facilities and assassinating Hezbollah members with targeted drone strikes.
Yet Hezbollah has not retaliated. What kind of deal was that?
What was the deal brokered between the US subservient Lebanese ‘government’, the Jew Hochstein – his israeli masters and Hezbollah?
Did Hezbollah agree to disband, leave South Lebanon and dissolve under the menace of being attacked by the US subservient “Lebanese” army and their zionist allies? Has Iran agreed to let Hezbollah being neutralized in exchange for their own safety?
The day after the “ceasefire” was implemented, israeli, Turkish and US funded terrorist groups attacked Syria and by a ‘miracle’ managed to take power in less than 15 days, thanks to Russia’s planned capitulation and betrayal.
Did Iran also agree to capitulate in exchange of its own safety or were they betrayed by Russia like Syrians were?
The future will tell us, but one thing is sure we haven’t heard of Hezbollah militarily since their capitulation in Lebanon.
They didn’t sign a truce, they surrendered.”
And now, all the assassinations against Hezbollah and Hamas leaders make sense, the “pager” attacks and other US/israeli too well informed targeted killings. Were they just intel marvels or internal cleanings to eliminate those who knew too much and could do too much against the zionist regime?
We realize already that Putin was all along a zionist shill, but what about Assad, Hezbollah and Iran? Have they betrayed the Resistance for their own safeties and other benefits?
So far, only the brave Yemenis are still fighting along with the Palestinian Resistance groups with their limited means.
Has Hamas really been behind October 7 Al-Aqsa flood or was it since day one a mossad operation to justify the genocides and ethnic cleansings that are taking place in Palestine, Lebanon and now Syria?
The Resistance and Palestine have been betrayed by those who pretended they would fight until Gaza was freed.
The betrayal may be even worse than the world thought.
The objective of these scripted wargames is to weaken and in the end clean out the Iranian deep state[satanists] ..
They still have not retaliated yet ..
What do we know about the people who were at the rave party in the desert, right by the border? Rap lovers, druggies, convicted crims. Would the fascists in control have thought, not too much to lose… lots to gain? Surely not

Putin give’s em truth, (both barrels). He’s been labeled (anti-semitic).
“Phoney” Jews? I was already a big fan, but now he’s ‘officially’ anti-semitic?!
Go Vlad!
Speaking of pornography, would I love to get my hands on the videos I was in with a number of comely buxom beauties back in the day before cell phone video cameras were a big thing. There were at least 3 occasions in which different hubbies filmed me plowing the bejesus out of their smoking hot wives. Sure it was a little weird at first, but as long as the blokes didn’t try to put their pinky in my pooper or any other kind of weirdness that could have resulted in them getting a black eye, it was all good. And man, did those wives seem to love putting on a show and taunting their cucked chumps, er, I mean husbands.
Then there was the three-way romp with two fetching vixens who enjoyed taking turns with the camera…and each of us…I just wish it were my camera rather than belonging to one of them…
Fun fact about ol’ Umbra: I made a cameo in the first episode of the Girls Gone Wild video series as the, uh, provocateur for a rather adventurous busty blonde minx.
Yeah, none of that has anything to do with Chabad Vlad and his bloviaitons but so what? Fred B already nailed it in his comment above.
If Putin was for real he could do a lot more for us who are oppressed under the Commie regime of the so-called ‘west’. He like the Commie CCP are another bunch of White haters He could easily help is by attacking Sadiq Khan Starmer and the Commieservatives with their Nigerian leader. Instead he does NOTHING.
THIS GUY LIKE TRUMP IS ANOTHER COMMIE HEW SCUMBAG.
GET REAL. YOU WANT OUR SUPPORT THEN DO SOMETHING YOU COMMIE KGB SCUMBAG.
NO NOTHING NADA.
A REAL WESTERN WHITE LEADER WOULD TAKE ACTION. DON’T BE FOOLED BY THIS JEWISH SHIT HOUSE. NO DIFFERET TO STARMER

Just like Stalin, another anti-white mongrel Commie nutjob killing off millions of white Ukrainians. Its not really a ‘war’, but simply a coordinated operation between the Jew controlled governments of Russia-Ukraine to waste whites.
something instinctively repulsive about that guys face
they’re all actors reading a script handed to them by Rothschild & Commies.
