BBC: Putin rebuffs 'colonialist' West

If you look at newspapers of 100 years ago, you see how, at the time, colonialist states justified their policies in Africa or in Asia. They talked of their civilising role, of the white man's mission," he said.

"If you change the word 'civilising' to 'democratisation', you find the same logic, you can read the same things in the press today."

"funny i used almost the same words as putin in a discussion i had with a friend yesterday"
