Russian President Vladimir Putin is confident that in the modern world the states can be either sovereign or colonies, an intermediate state does not exist.
“The world is changing, and it is changing rapidly. And in order to claim some leadership, I don’t speak global leadership, but at least something, of course, is any country, any people, any ethnic group should provide His sovereignty, ”said the head of the Russian state, his words are given by TASS.
“Because there is no intermediate state: either the country is sovereign, or a colony, as if not to call a colony,” he explained.
According to Putin, the colonies have no chance of surviving in a tough geopolitical struggle: “If a country, or a group of countries is not able to make sovereign decisions, this is already a colony, and the colony has no historical prospects, has no chance of surviving in such a harsh geopolitical struggle “.
