"More and more countries in the world want and will pursue independent policy," he said at the international event. "No 'world policeman' can halt this natural global process. No one is that strong."
"They face challenges inside their nations, and I hope they realize that this policy has absolutely no prospects," the Russian leader said, referring to the US and its Western allies.
Russia became the world's most sanctioned nation after the West retaliated against it for attacking Ukraine in February. The restrictions were touted by officials as a way to inflict a cost on Russia and destabilize its economy to coerce Moscow into a retreat. However, many nations refused to join the sanctions drive, including NATO member Turkey.
Global markets, which were already under pressure due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the disruption of supply chains, have been further destabilized by the stand-off. Many Western nations have experienced levels of inflation unseen in decades as energy and food prices have surged on the uncertainty.
The event where Putin made the remarks was organized by the Eurasian Economic Union, a regional economic integration organization comprising Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia as members.
In his opening speech, the Russian leader explained how his country had no intention of shuttering its economy to the rest of the world. He also reported how Russia was dealing with the sanctions, including by replacing crucial imported products with domestically-produced replacements.

I will pass on the hollywood production pal.
Of course I am not pro genocide, thats why Russia went in was to STOP the genocide of in excess of 14,000 already murdered by Ukraine agains Donbass/Donesk
Putin is an employee of the same outfit that murdered Russians en masse during the revolution.
We’ll see what other &%$@!ery they come up with next.
For me personally the Russia vs Ukraine situation has been the perfect "stand-off" to get the Great Reset off the ground and this could of only happened with Russia and Ukraines hold on world food supplies (being palmed off as a fuel war, yet you can live without gas/oil but NOT food security...hence my pov).

"By the way: undoubtedly, CBDCs will make cross-border transactions more convenient and less of a hassle for Russia (at least when doing business with friendly states).
But does that justify the zero-privacy, total-centralized-control financial system that is being created?
An interesting question."
Both sides both want the same outcome. Funny how that happens to be true. Control over all the people has always been the goal, doesn't matter what it's wrapped up in (capitalism, democracy, republic,technocracy, etc...) it's still the same shit. Funny we're in a war that non of the people want (all sides) and only a few at the top want. The only way to stop the fuckers is if the armies on both sides lay down their arms, say fuck it to the leaders, you go fight your own fucking war. But to be a soldier, you need to be controlled and trained to be controlled and not think for yourself, but for all. Time to start thinking for ALL and put your guns down.
