Quiz: Whose Words Are These?


"What is the state sovereignty, after all, that has been mentioned by our colleagues here? It is basically about freedom and the right to choose freely one's own future for every person, nation and state....Aggressive foreign interference has resulted in a brazen destruction of national institutions and the lifestyle itself. Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster.”

If you guessed that this was lifted from the sovereignty-laden, bellicose bluster of a speech that infantile demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump delivered to the UN today, you'd be wrong....but not that far off. They were delivered by none other than Rump's ideal autocrat, Russian thug Vladimir Putin, before the UN in 2015.
