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.
F Putin, KGB scum
There doesn’t seem to be a way to comment/ask directly — maybe if I chased it to his substack, but anyway I prefer FR so I’ll ask here.
Several times in the speech there’s a reference to “the West” or “Western elites.” From over here when I read that I interpret this as the EU + USA “deep state” or “uniparty” whichever phrase turns your fancy, and behind those the power brokers/billionaires whose stated agenda the politicians seem eager to implement (WEF, Soros, Roshschilds, take your pick or others or none). I would very much include Germany, or at least the Germans in power there, in that group and have long considered the EU a sort of 4th Reich of Germany with France as a neo-vichy state.
However in the speech there are several references to “the West” beating the snot out of Germany including a direct reference to Dresden, and to “the West” using nukes ...
...so for people more familiar with the Russian mindset, do you think he means the amalgam of western elitist groups, or is this longhand for “the USA,” or what?
The West is greedy and seeks to enslave and colonise other nations, like Russia.
What are you a comedian? LOL
Putin is trying to make this about the west because bit by bit his corrupt and fake army is being destroyed by Ukrainian farmers. It’s much more palatable for Russians to lose to NATO than Ukraine. They’ve done that once already after all.
why?
We dont.
And they consider the Ukraine to be in their borders.
Shameful.
“They have abandoned religion and embraced Satanism.”
_________
Yes.
Crimea has been a part of Russia since Catherine the Great.
Cope and seethe.
So, just because you want to, you’ve taken over Crimea and now want to settle for just the piece of Ukraine you have military control over after your unprovoked military invasion into their sovereign territory.
Putin is gonna do what Putin’s gonna do because he can and he wants to do it.
You better be praying that whomever may actually be in command of the US and NATO better have their sh!t wired tight at this very moment.
Joe the Usurper Biden is an American version of Boris Godunov...
Crimea has been a part of Russia since Catherine the Great.
Cope and seethe.
That’s nice. How long was Lyman part of Russia? 24 hours I believe.
I think the speech was excellent and spot on. It is a real tragedy for the world that Western rulers have managed to brain wash their citizens. Russophobia is about as warranted as Trump Derangement Syndrome. But, in both cases Deep State requires this to maintain and increase their power. Putin and Trump are a real threat to them.
The Russian people are very fortunate to have such an exceptional leader. It has been amazing what he has managed to accomplish in the last two decades as their leader. Every financial and societal metric has improved substantially since he took office. It is no wonder that he still gets very high approval ratings. I am green with envy that they get him and we are stuck with a demented mummy...:-(
LOL! Ask me in a week.
In the meantime, keep sucking that hopium that Daily Mail feeds you.
Putin’s ‘Satanism’ Speech Compared to Rhetoric From MAGA Republicans
...
“Do we really want, here, in our country, in Russia, instead of ‘mum’ and ‘dad,’ to have ‘parent No. 1,’ ‘parent No. 2,’ ‘No. 3’?” Putin said. “Have they gone completely insane? Do we really want ... it drilled into children in our schools ... that there are supposedly genders besides women and men, and [children to be] offered the chance to undergo sex change operations?”

If only Britain had won the Crimean war...
How many months ago did you map out and promise me a Donbas “cauldron”? And I have to wait another week? I’ll just keep watching Russian boys die for nothing in the mud of Ukraine while you keep fantasizing about a Russkiy Mir that doesn’t exist in reality. Cheers!
And most of Europe was part of Rome at one point! what does that matter?!!
The fact is Ukraine is an independent country now, and Russia has no business invading it.
Shouln’t we consult Hunter Biden with his important position in the Ukrainian Gas industry and the big man that collects 10% from him?
Total BS. We don’t follow that rule. Somebody finally stood up to DC And called them out on their lies and depravity. Nice to see. With any luck it will help topple the NWO WEF occupation government that has insisted DC since Reagan left office.
