“We do not have a system for the finding and publishing of terrorists' weapons, we have an enemy's weapons collection system.”
— Vladimir Putin
Simplified Meaning:
The quote talks about how instead of actively seeking out and revealing the weapons that terrorists have, there is a system in place that just ends up collecting and keeping the weapons that belong to the enemy. Imagine a neighborhood with a problem of littering. Instead of people actively going out to find who is throwing the trash and stopping them, there's just a group that goes around picking up the trash and storing it somewhere. This doesn't solve the main problem of who is throwing the trash in the first place. Similarly, the quote suggests that there isn't a focus on stopping the terrorists from getting weapons, but rather on what to do with their weapons once they are caught. For someone applying this idea to their life, it means focusing on solving the root cause of a problem rather than just dealing with the symptoms. Instead of just dealing with conflicts after they arise, try to understand and address the underlying issues that cause the conflicts in the first place.
