I wish every single person in the West would listen to Putin's speech. Obviously, that won't happen so let me summarise as a professional translator for 10+ years. He states, as he has done from the outset, what his intentions and complaints are in the plainest terms possible.
Setting aside his brief comments on the recent "referendums", he spends most of his speech discussing the West. His primary complaint isn't NATO expansion, which gets only a cursory mention. The West is greedy and seeks to enslave and colonise other nations, like Russia. The West uses the power of finance and technology to enforce its will on other nations. To collect what he calls the "hegemon's tax". To this end the West destabilises countries, creates terrorist enclaves and most of all seeks to deprive other countries of sovereignty. It is this "avarice" and desire to preserve its power that is the reason for the "hybrid war" the collective West is "waging on Russia". They want us to be a "colony". They do not want us to be free, they want Russians to be a mob of soulless slaves - direct quote.
The rules-based order the West goes on about is "nonsense". Who made these rules? Who agreed to them? Russia is an ancient country and civilization and we will not play by these "rigged" rules. The West has no moral authority to challenge the referendums because it has violated the borders of other countries. Western elites are "totalitarian, despotic and apartheidistic" - direct quote. They are racist against Russia and other countries and nations. "Russophobia is racism". They discriminate by calling themselves the "civilised world".
They colonised, started the global slave trade, genocided native Americans, pillaged India and Africa, forced China to buy opium through war. We, on the other hand, are proud that we "led" the anti-colonial movement that helped countries develop to reduce poverty and inequality.
They are Russophobic (they hate us) because we didn't allow our country to be pillaged by creating a strong CENTRALISED (emphasis his) state based on Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism. They have been trying to destabilise our country since the 17th century in the Times of Trouble (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_T…). Eventually, they managed to "get their hands on our riches" at the end of the 20th century. They called us friends and partners while pumping out trillions of dollars (his irony game is strong today).
We remember this. We didn't forget. The West claims to bring freedom and democracy to other countries but it's the exact opposite of the truth. The unipolar world is anti-democratic by its very nature. It is a lie. They used nuclear weapons, creating a precedent. They flattened German cities without "any military need to do so". There was no need for this except to scare us and the rest of the world. Korea, Vietnam. To this day they "occupy" Japan, South Korea and Germany and other countries while cynically calling them "allies".
The West has surveillance over the leaders of these nations who "swallow these insults like the slaves they are".
He then talks about bioweapon research (haven't heard about them for a while) and human experiments "including in Ukraine". The US rules the world by the power of the fist. Any country which seeks to challenge Western hegemony becomes an enemy. Their neocolonialism is cloaked in lies like "containment" of Russia, China and Iran. The concept of truth has been destroyed with fakes and extreme propaganda.
You cannot feed your people with printed dollars and social media. You need food and energy. But Western elites have no desire to find a solution to the food and energy crises *they* (emphasis his) created.
They solved the problems at the start of 20c with WW1 and the US established dominance of the world via the dollar as a result of WW2. In the 80s they had another crisis they solved by "plundering our country". Now they want to solve their problems by "breaking Russia".
Russia "understands its responsibility to the international community" and will "do everything to cool the heads of these neocolonials who are destined to fail".
They're crazy. I want to speak to all Russian citizens, do we want to replace mum and dad with parent 1 and 2? They invented genders and claim you can "transition". Do we want this for our children?
We have a different vision.
They have abandoned religion and embraced Satanism - direct quote. The world is going through a revolutionary transformation. A multipolar world offers nations freedom to develop as they wish and they make up the majority of the world.
We have many like-minded friends in Western countries. We see and appreciate their support. They are forming liberation, anti-colonial movements as we speak - direct quote. These will only grow.
We are fighting for a fair world for our country. The idea of exceptionalism is criminal and we must turn this shameful page. The breaking of the West's hegemony is INEVITABLE (emphasis his). There is no going back. We are fighting for our "great (as in big), historic Russia". Our values are (irony game crescendo): love of our fellow man, compassion and mercy.
Truth is with us, Russia is with us.
End of thread.
Putin Puffers? Hardly. I assume many of us read Solzhenitsyn.
We have no illusions about Soviet Russia. But neither do we have illusions about the role of the United States in regime toppling and currency hegemony. Nor do we have illusions about the US working in consort with the WEF. Nor do we have illusions about our military/industrial complex and Intel.
I had thought that the neocons had long ago been vanquished as tools of the Globalists.
The “American left” spent 2021 ignoring Ukraine while partnering with Putin to bust Trump’s excellent Iran policy and nuke up the mullahs. Putin and the American Left are two America hating peas in a pod.
You are stuck in the Cold War......evil has taken over the wealthy nations of this world and all they want his power, control and more wealth
Slavs (Slaves) have never run anything successfully as nations or any other endeavor that lasts.
This wet dream of Russian Nationalism is laughable.
Travel their cities and they can’t even clean their rubbish or remove crashed cars from the roadside. Piles of it all over.
Travel the countryside and you go back effectively 150 years in time with the mentality and attitude of that population.
Yes they have nukes. So do others. Big deal. Russia took 7 months to conquer a measly region of Ukraine.
They’ll turn the rest of the country into a pile of rubble to prove their point.
Mongols you say? Absolutely!
If Russia can block the woke Marxist globalist swine from pushing their liberal world order crap on the world I’m rooting Russia can stop them and set an example for the rest of the world to follow; including the USA.
Even if that means nuking us? I don’t you’ve wargamed this one out. O
You say that ukrainians did not want to be invaded?? Then perhaps they should have avoided the following:
Shouln’t we consult Hunter Biden with his important position in the Ukrainian Gas industry and the big man that collects 10% from him?
I think you’re being far too hyperbolic.
Putin is NOT going to nuke anyone. It would be self-defeating.
Does the US, in your opinion, have a track record of meddling in the politics, leadersip, and currency, of other nations?
He’s also attacking American hegemony. Calling us racist imperialists plays well with the young, college-educated Marxist-Leninist types. Let’s not confuse the current Administration with America.
No need to wait.
The Donbas now belongs to Russia. So does Crimea. And, next week, so will Lymon.
Cope and seethe.
Go cry alongside Biden, Kamala, George Soros, the WEF, pornhub, and Bill Gates. Your neocon tears taste so salty, but so sweet.
I agree. Only weak countries threaten nukes because they have nothing else. And that is exactly what Russia is doing now.
Do you really think Russia is going to nuke anyone?
It’s not like Putin is Biden. Putin can actually think and has an IQ over 70. Probably more like 150 or so.
In your mind, at what point did the US begin its meddling in foreign countries? Just since 2020?
Where’s my “cauldron” map from six months ago? Should I dig it up? Russia is collapsing, again, and there is nothing anybody can do about it. But I understand the grieving process is difficult and you have my sympathy.
Except those college-educated Marxist-Leninist types are flying Ukrainian flags and planting those silly "I stand with Ukraine" lawn signs in their yards.
At least they have displaced the "BLM" yard signs so I guess there's a silver lining.
Stalin wasn’t even a slav, so pan-slavism wasn’t his thing. If the mongol invasions explain what you see as Russian barbarism, what explains German barbarism?
Yeah, that Vlad, he's cool. I wish he would get dual citizenship and run for president. We could tweak the citizenship requirement thingy a little bit again. And then Vladdy could straighten us out, by god, and it would be paradise at last.
