Who would have ever thought in our lifetime.  After the long bitter cold war, that the President of Russia would preach to the West about Christian values.   I find it very amusing that Mr Putin is vilified in the Western media, yet after following many of his political moves with regards to Iran, Syria and his comments about the corrupt Western banking system,  Mr Putin is speaking the truth.   He certainly is more factual with his analysis on a wide range of issues.

No where in the Western world will you see a leader of a nation defend Christianity.  Now where. On the contrary, the Western world leaders run at the utterance of anything deemed "Christian"  Eastern nations like Russia look at the West with much distrust.  Putin himself believes that the West is on the skids, meaning he sees the West not only in economic decay, but also in social and moral decay.

If he is in fact correct in his assessment.  Mr Putin's stock as a force in world politics will only rise.  He has absolutely embarrassed  the US, Israel and the Western Europeans on the foreign policy stage   I nod my head and crack a smile when Mr Putin calls out the West about the countless lies and propaganda that they(the West) injects to brainwash the masses.  Whether it be the accusation of the Syrian government using chemical weapons, or the US central bank destroying the dollar so that it can inflate markets, it's sad that we can't get the truth Mr Putin speaks about from our own leaders at home.

This rise and prominence of Mr Putin is not a trivial matter.  This is not the Cold War revisited.  During the Cold War, there is no doubt the West(including the US) had the moral high ground. In this unfolding drama, clearly the US government has a real moral crisis it has to come to terms with.
