Your ability to post single source Russian Agitprop is duly noted.
Grabbing the quote I posted and throwing into Duck will give you many returns from open source reporting regarding the Putin Quote.
They say Putin love is different than the love of a straight.
^^^^^What's this nonsense?^^^^^^
You cited an article from NBC News commenting on Putin's 2005 State of the nation speech.

I posted a link to an archived transcript of that speech in it's entirety. It's called a primary source Mr. NBC News.
Your unverified single page is litterally from RTR Russian TV and how does it prove anything? the speech was 50 minutes long and your unverified single page was less than a 5 minute read. You need to read a book about critical thinking.
Here are multiple more cites for the quote from Putin.

I specifically chose an archived transcript of Putin's 2005 speech from a reputable US source. The FAS, based in Washington, D.C. is The Federation of American Scientists. It was founded in 1945 by scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project to develop the first atomic bombs. The Federation of American Scientists aims to reduce the amount of nuclear weapons that are in use, and prevent nuclear and radiological terrorism. It is not related to "RTR Russian TV" in any way.
