Vladimir Putin Denounces American Exceptionalism in a Speech to the Russian Parliament.

Vladimir Putin approves draft bill for annexation of Crimea as Russia, slams U.S. opposition. Reuters. New York Daily News, March 18, 2014.

Putin:

Our Western partners headed by the United States prefer not to be guided by international law in their practical policies, but by the rule of the gun. They have come to believe in their exceptionalism and their sense of being the chosen ones. That they can decide the destinies of the world, that it is only them who can be right.
