### - your emotional reactions being almost entirely predictable; you're
being mercilessly played thang and you don't even realise it??

am not an unkind person so i never do that kinda thing, but can't speak
for lowrider whom you've obviously offended, and who's currently riding
you like seabiscuit lol :)))

best advise then is to just drop it, and to return to more
objective/critical thinking...

only i really don't think you can? (you aren't able to sustain it for very
long i mean)

>> President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, colleagues.

>>
>> In May, the Council of Lawmakers will be 10 years old. We have all seen
>> for ourselves that this format is useful and essential. As it
>> coordinates the drafting of laws, following the principles of
>> federalism, the Council facilitates the balanced development of our

>>
>> Your work is based on a constructive public dialogue. Such an open,

>>
>> I would like to emphasise, in this context, that the amendments to the
>> Constitution adopted in 2020 have not only strengthened the position
>> and influence of our parliament – and it is perfectly obvious that we
>> have strengthened our parliamentarism – but they have also created

>>
>> Its representatives – the parliamentary parties – for all the
>> competition between them, are invariably acting from the same position
>> when it comes to fundamental national interests and the resolution of
>> our Fatherland’s defense and security issues.
>>
>> This kind of patriotic attitude is clear and inherent in our people,
>> always supported by the majority, the overwhelming majority of
>> Russians. Every election and all public opinion polls have confirmed
>> this, and this cannot be otherwise anyway because love for the
>> Motherland is one of the key foundations of Russian statehood and
> the most important value for our society, which invariably manifests
> itself at critical times for the country.
>>
>> Such unity of the people is a great value and a guarantee that Russia
>> will be able to stand up to the most complex challenges and threats,
>> and will confidently go through any trial. This has always been so, and
>> so it will be now.
>>
>> In this regard, I would like to emphasise again: all the goals of the
>> special military operation launched on February 24 will definitely be
>> attained in order to guarantee peace and security for the residents of
>> the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics, of Russian Crimea, and our
>> entire country in a historical perspective.
>>
>> We must be aware and confident that our soldiers and officers have
>> averted a real danger posed to our Motherland. Their courage,
>> determination, and heroism have prevented a larger conflict that would
>> have unfolded on our territory, but following someone else’s scenarios.
>>
>> The forces that have always pursued a policy of containing Russia –
>> historically indeed, they did so in ancient times, and you know very
>> well why they did this – they do not want such a huge and independent
>> country that is too big for their ideas. They believe it endangers them
>> simply by the fact of its existence. Although this is
> far from reality; it is they who endanger the world.
>>
>> We have not forgotten the barbarous plans of the Nazis for the Soviet
>> people – to drive them out. You remember, don’t you? They wanted to
>> force those who could work to work like slaves, do slave labour in
>> bondage. Those who were not wanted were supposed to be sent beyond the
>> Urals or to the North to extinction. All this was
> recorded in documents, in historical documents. We remember this.
>>
>> We also remember how the Western states encouraged terrorists and
>> criminals in the North Caucasus in the early 1990s and 2000s, how they
>> exploited the problems of our past, real problems, injustices of the
>> past as regards entire peoples, including the peoples of the Caucasus..
>> But they did all this not to make us better, not at
> all. They did all this to bring the problems of the past to us today, to
> encourage separatist attitudes in our country and eventually to split

>>
>> They did not reach their goal but could not accept their failure, that
>> we managed to hold out against this onslaught at the time. This is why
>> they later launched large-scale preparations for an economic war
>> against Russia, using any excuse, and sometimes without any excuse at
>> all, to impose more and more sanctions on us; but
> today’s plans to strangle us economically have also fallen through.
>>
>> In addition, our enemies have been expediting the development of new
>> “geopolitical weapons.” These weapons are basically nothing new, but
>> they obviously gave them new motivation and a new impetus. They placed
>> their bets on Russophobia and neo-Nazis and were impudently,
>> unceremoniously turning our neighbor Ukraine into an
> “anti-Russia” year after year.
>>
>> I would like to recall that when Russia had a benevolent, I would say,
>> a friendly, comradely, fraternal attitude to the creation of an
>> independent Ukrainian state, we thought, of course, that it would be a
>> friendly state, that we could go further together, strengthening and

>> The entire course of recent events, including the Kiev regime’s claims
>> to possess nuclear weapons, the deployment of a network of Western
>> biolabs on Ukrainian territory, the seamless supplies of cutting-edge
>> weapons to Ukraine, has confirmed that our reaction to those cynical
>> plans was correct and timely.
>>
>> Colleagues,
>>
>> I would like to emphasise once again that our soldiers and officers,
>> and the Donbass militia are heroically doing their duty, and as I said,
>> all their goals and objectives will be met.
>>
>> But I would also like to note something I spoke about at the beginning
>> of the special military operation. Let me emphasise once again: if
>> anyone intends to intervene from the outside and create a strategic
>> threat to Russia that is unacceptable to us, they should know that our

>>
>> Colleagues,
>>
>> I would like to thank all the parties in the State Duma and the
>> Federation Council for their firmness, solidarity and support, for
>> ensuring the high pace and quality of lawmaking in close cooperation
>> with the Government of the Russian Federation. I hope the regional
>> legislators will work just as intensively and will just as
> quickly coordinate their activities with the regional executive
> authorities.
>>
>> I am referring to the many packages of anti-sanction measures adopted
>> in the past two months, dozens of important laws and by-laws, which
>> have already passed through the local legislatures and through Russian
>> parliament.
>>
>> I would like to note that specific decisions will be made in the near
>> future on the indexation of pensions and all social benefits, as well
>> as the salaries of specialists employed in the public sector. To ensure
>> practical implementation of this policy, I ask the parliamentarians to
>> carefully work out the necessary amendments and
> legal mechanisms.
>>
>> These and the other decisions we have been making are aimed at
>> providing direct assistance to the most vulnerable categories of the
>> population – families with children and senior citizens. The key
>> industries, strategic enterprises, small and medium-sized businesses
>> are also receiving and will continue to receive support. As a
> result, by taking the measures I have just mentioned, we have not just
> softened, but, as I said, we have repelled, blocked the very first
> crushing blow – as the West believed it to be – of the illegitimate
> sanctions against our country.
>>
>> Our banking system, national currency, transport, trade, and the
>> economy in general have withstood the shock and have not crumbled. On
>> the contrary, they now have good resources for development, for the
>> launch of new projects in infrastructure and industry, and for
>> developing and unlocking the potential of all our regions.
> Undoubtedly, this is the result of a balanced and responsible
> socioeconomic policy over the recent years, the implementation of our
> national projects, and the result of your, my colleagues, concerted and
> energetic efforts amid today’s extraordinary circumstances.
>>
>> I want you to partner with the ministries and departments, governors’
>> teams, as I mentioned earlier, and the business, scientific and expert
>> communities in order to continue to develop new, effective and
>> well-thought-out anti-crisis measures, to strengthen parliamentary
>> control from within over the implementation of decisions, and
> to support our people.
>>
>> It is important to ensure not only stability in the economy, the
>> domestic market, and the regular operation of industrial enterprises,
>> but to strengthen our country’s industrial and technological
>> sovereignty and even global leadership in certain areas. This is an
>> absolutely feasible task in areas where we have the required
> scientific expertise, engineering schools and production base, and we do
> have that in our country.
>>
>> How many aircraft did we make before? Carrier companies were happy with
>> buying foreign-made equipment which, indeed, boasts advantages in terms
>> of noise levels and fuel consumption, but our manufacturers should
>> strive to achieve these standards. However, they could hardly overcome

> production at that, see good, new and modern opportunities opening up.
>>
>> As I have said, we will counter any crude and often inept external
>> restrictions, the destruction of all civilised rights and agreements
>> and attempts to isolate us with greater freedom of entrepreneurship,
>> openness to honest partnerships, respect and reliable protection of
>> owners and genuine investors. All these goals require the

>>
>> I would like to ask you personally to work directly with the heads of
>> municipalities and companies, businesses, NGOs and work teams to help
>> them resolve their problems and eventually grant them additional
>> systemic support measures. I would like to add that United Russia bears
>> special responsibility for this as the leading party.
> But I am addressing all parliamentary parties now – I am asking you to
> work together.
>>
>> In general, I would like to ask you to have direct contact with the
>> people. It is no longer important now, not significant whose voters
>> they are and whether any of them voted at all. It is important to
>> devote time and attention to all these people, to respond if you are
>> asked for help and protection. Sometimes people are just
> asking for advice and it is necessary to respond to this, too.
>>
>> And there is one more important task for those who work in committees
>> on international affairs or friendship groups with their foreign
>> counterparts. I understand that it has become impossible and also
>> pointless to work in some associations, for example, PACE. In general,
>> many of these formats were established in the early 1990s

> Nobody needs them anymore. Let them deal with their own issues; let them

> will not spend time talking about them here.
> This applies to human rights and women’s rights or, say, women’s
> inequality in the workplace. Europe and the States have many problems
> like this, so let them deal with their own problems.
>>
>> But at this time, we need to use any accessible format or channel for
>> parliamentary diplomacy in Europe, Asia, Africa and America, as much as
>> we can – those that have remained. Direct contact can never hurt
>> because we have many supporters in all global regions, I assure you,
>> although you know this yourselves. But it is necessary
> to work with them to justify our position with arguments, to uphold the
> truth and to bring information to the people who want to know it, true
> information.
>>
>> Speaking at a Prosecutor General’s Office Board meeting the day before
>> yesterday, I mentioned the need to create a detailed and
>> incontrovertible evidence base covering all the heinous crimes and
>> violations of international humanitarian law committed by the neo-Nazis
>> and foreign mercenaries who are arriving in Ukraine in great
> numbers. The other day, several of them were destroyed, and several
> others were detained. The Defence Ministry will present them to the
> public soon. These atrocities will certainly receive an objective legal
> assessment. However, it is important to raise these issues at the
> international level, including at the parliamentary level,
> even now.
>>
>> I mentioned earlier Kiev’s attempt, which was prevented, to physically
>> eliminate some of our journalists through terrorist attacks. Here is
>> what I have to say in this regard.
>>
>> Those criminals, terrorists have been neutralised and detained and
>> their actions are being investigated. But it is no secret that such
>> methods – killing their own journalists and politicians right on the
>> street – have been used quite often in Ukraine in recent years. Now,
>> they decided to take this practice to our country.
>>
>> No doubt, we will do our best to protect the people who work at
>> official Russian television and radio channels, the people who work
>> online and promote patriotism, people who make up the vast majority of
>> our country’s media space. But we must be aware that such a threat
>> exists. Of course, we cannot assign guards from the FSO, the
> FSB or the National Guard to everyone, but we will do and must do our
> best to ensure their safety.
>>
>> Here is what I would like to say, and what I am absolutely sure of. Any
>> attempts to intimidate the people who work in the media space, to
>> intimidate Russian journalists who have a patriotic position, are
>> doomed. On the contrary, I do not doubt for a single second that these
>> attempts will result in even more people joining their
> ranks to show that we have people who are not afraid of anything and who
> are ready to and will uphold our country’s interests.
>>
>> Colleagues,
>>
>> There are a quite a few pressing items on your agenda. I wish you luck
>> and every success in your future work. I congratulate everyone on our
>> upcoming great, main holiday – the Day of the Great Victory. I am sure
>> that uncompromising will, courage and loyalty to the Fatherland will
>> always inspire you and all of us.
>>
>> Thank you very much for your attention.
>>
>> I wish you all the best. Thank you.
