The more I read about Putin, the less and less I respect him for his intelligence.
The level of ignorance (or perhaps deception?) in his words is massive here.
But, definitely an enigma. Seems to be a Liberal in that he wants society to run smoothly -- but, without snags -- which requires a more totalitarian control.

There is absolutely nothing liberal about Putin in any sense of the word. His economic policies are not liberal: he has established state owned monopolies. His social policies are not liberal: he has clamped down on freedom of speech and passed puritanical laws including laws persecuting homosexuals. He is purely authoritarian, and wraps himself in nationalism and religion.
I'm curious, are you Russian? I really want to hear from someone who lives in Russia.

any credible evidence that putin said this yet ?
It's called epigenetics, and yes it's certainly effecting our physiology.

In other words, you do not care whether something is true, you just believe that Putin is right, even if it's a lie.

Victor, is a red blooded Russian who thinks Putin is not aggressive enough!
I trust him far more than the western elitists who worship killing, evil and destruction of their own people.
The Fear of Being Gay in Russia
Putin's state has allowed violence against the Russian LGBT community to spike.

Oh my!
I guess those who have opposed him don't count...I also guess the killing of his own people as a way to go to war with Chechnya doesn't count either?
Not to mention his Ego has caused undo suffering to his own people with his little foray into Ukraine...he could have had the sanctions lifted had he just pulled his troops out of Ukraine.
I guess if you disregard his allowing of violence against the LGBT community in Russia...

You might be right...but his track record says differently.

There is no difference between GMO and telling people who's ancestors never ate Avacado that they should eat lots of it because it is high in Omega 3s. The plant defense chemistry of Avacados can cause a lot of problems for twenty percent of the population because they jumped into a new chemistry without appropriate genetic knowledge on how to process it.
Thank you. That's very interesting. This is similar to something else I've heard, except in terms of race; that indigenous healing plants make the best medicines for those native races. So, for example, Mexicans and Native Americans respond best to plant medicines indigenous to North America. And I've observed that within my own family... kinda sorta. Since my family isn't just one race, it's not exactly pure science. But there is that tendency I've noticed. I definitely like your use of genetics rather than race, but there would seem to be a corrolation either way.
