The Western goal is to weaken, divide and ultimately destroy our nation. They are openly stating that, since they managed to break up the Soviet Union in 1991, now it\u2019s time to split Russia into many separate regions that will be at each other\u2019s throats.\u201d Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
