Business Insider: Putin at UN: We need a 'genuinely broad alliance against terrorism, just like the one against Hitler'
Russian President Vladimir Putin just took the stage at the UN General Assembly for the first time in a decade, and he called for a "genuinely broad alliance against terrorism, just like the one against Hitler."
Putin began by describing the original purpose of the UN, which he said had been violated by "those that found themselves at the top of the pyramid" after the Cold War.
"They thought they knew better and thought they did not have to reckon with the UN to legitimize their decisions," Putin said, probably referring to the US.
