A remarkable speech to come from anyone - let alone from a major national leader. <br /><br />But when I compare Putin's speech here with Trump's expressed views, in particular Putin's clarity with respect to the primacy of Christianity and the deepening evil of the expansile sexual revolution; I am most aware of the vast gulf between Trump and Putin (despite that there is a friendly relationship between them, at some level, which I welcome). <br /><br />Of course, with politicians, one must look at what they do and not what they say - but when a politician is able and willing to be both simple and explicit in their analysis, then I think this is probably a sign that they intend to act upon the implications (as best they can, within inevitable constraints).
