Putin in Davos: to make love (or peace …) it takes two

Vladimir Putin spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos, naturally electronically, and here we present some commented excerpts from his speech, to give an alternative vision to that of the usual "philanthropists" billionaires, called to these events.

First of all, a mention of the dangers of modern times deriving from the impossibility of solving the problems of our time in a balanced and fair way:

The reluctance to solve world problems in the twentieth century has turned into a catastrophe like World War II. Now such a heated conflict is impossible, I really hope so. This would mean the end of civilization. But the situation can develop in an unpredictable and uncontrollable way. There is the probability of facing a real upheaval in world development, fraught with a struggle of all against all ":

Then we move on to talk about the demonstrations that are also taking place in Russia and the causes that have ignited them. According to the Russian President, these are not only ideological issues, on the contrary:

“The reasons for being dissatisfied are not just in groundless or theoretical issues, but in real problems that affect everyone, regardless of the political views a person may have. Real problems generate discontent! "

So relations with the West and with Europe: how will they evolve in the near future?

“We are ready for this (good relationships, NdT), we want this, but love is impossible if it is only declared by one side. It must be mutual! "

What must happen to the economy, what evolution must follow? “It is absolutely clear that the world cannot follow the path of building an economy that works for a million people or even a" billion gold "of the rich. It is just a destructive attitude. This model is by definition unstable. Recent events, including the migration crisis, are reaffirming this.

Putin's speech, however, continued behind closed doors. What did Putin say to some of the super rich in the world? Who knows, but surely they stayed to listen to him. When it came to money, you could hear it.
