{{quotebox-float|"Unfortunately we see that the ideology of Nazism in its modern form and manifestation again directly threatens the security of our country. Again and again, we have to repel the aggression of the [[collective West]].... It's incredible, but it's a fact. We are again being threatened with [[German]] [[Leopard 2|Leopard tank]]s with [[Iron Cross]]es on them. Once again, they are preparing to battle Russia on Ukrainian soil at the hands of the followers of [[Hitler]] and [[Bandera]]....We know that despite the efforts of official, corrupt propaganda by an unfriendly Western elite, we have a lot of friends all around the world, including in [[America]], [[North America]] and [[Europe]].... Those who draw European countries, including Germany, into a new war with Russia, and even declare this as a done deal, those who are betting they will defeat Russia on the battlefield clearly don't understand that modern war with Russia will be quite different for them. We don't send our tanks to their borders, but we have the means to respond, and it won't end with the use of armored vehicles."<ref>https://youtu.be/l-2egU4YhZA</ref>}}

====2023 State of the Nation speech====
On February 21, 2023 Vladimir Putin deliverd his globally televised State of the Nation speech for 2023 highlighting in part the situation in NATO countries:
{{quotebox-float|"They can’t help but realize that it’s not possible to defeat Russia on the battlefield, and so they are carrying out ever-more aggressive information attacks against us.
The chosen target is, first and foremost, our young people, the younger generations. And here again they lie constantly, distort historical facts, engage in non-stop attacks on our [[culture]], on the [[Russian Orthodox Church]], and other traditional religious organizations of our country.
Look at what they’re doing to their own peoples: the destruction of the [[family]], of cultural and national identity, perversions and abuses against [[children]], up to [[pedophilia]], are declared to the norm, the norm of their lives, while [[clergy]]men and [[priest]]s are forced to bless [[same-sex marriage]]s.
Millions of people in the West have come to understand that they are being led to a real spiritual catastrophe, with their elites seemingly going mad, and it seems there is no cure.
Moscow cannot allow its young people to fall victim to the kind of spiritual degradation and degeneration that has already befallen many Western countries.
But I would like to tell them: look, please forgive me, to the [[Holy Scripture]]s – the main texts of all of the world’s religions. Everything is explained there, including that a family is the union of a [[man]] and a [[woman]].
But even these holy texts are now being questioned. The [[Anglican Church]], for example, now plans, and for now only plans, to consider the idea of a gender-neutral God.
What can we say here? “Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing”.}}
