(Lost In) Translation:

"Your suffering will make me stronger." Notice how “necessary self-purification of society” involves everyone coming around to Putin’s point of view, or being removed from society?

He sounds exactly like Chomsky.  And Putin denies legitimate agency to anyone who doesn’t think as he does.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is not the "purification" Putin is talking about. Although his logic leads to an empty country and an empty Kremlin, with him alone the purest of them all. I think Trump would approve. They really are two peas in a pod. I'm sure Putin wouldn't have killed civilians on purpose if he hadn't expected Biden to label him a war criminal for doing so; or something. Bound to be Biden's fault somehow.  And somehow Biden is doing this to undermine Russia's government and control Europe, which is why Putin's speech about "purity" is justified. Putin threatening Europe? Or Biden extending his hegemony?
