Putin's Annual Address Accuses West Of Trying To Sideline Russia
Putin struck a defiant note against the United States and the 28-nation EU, saying the sanctions they slapped on Russia after it seized the Black Sea region of Crimea in March were part of a historical campaign to weaken Russia.
To illustrate his point, he raised the metaphorical Russian bear.
"Sometimes I think maybe it would be better for our bear to sit quietly, rather than chasing around the forest after piglets. To sit eating berries and honey instead. Maybe they will leave it in peace," Putin said.
"We're definitely in a world of pain here and there is no obvious solution."
Despite his strong criticism of the West, Putin still held out hope for normalizing ties, saying Russia wants to restore full-scale economic and security cooperation if its interests are respected.
"Yes, we want equal relations," he said, "but with full respect for our security and economic interests."
Putin also softened his rhetoric against liberal critics at home, whom he previously dismissed as Western stooges.

Of course it would help if he had full respect for the security and economic interests of everybody else.
