Putin's side of the story: Something Putin Said in His Recent Speech Caught My Eye ...

The cable channels have granted Zelensky billions of dollars worth of free air time to sell the public on having Americans finance his war with Russia. So far, he's received commitments to $13.6 billion in U.S. aid, money he will gladly share with the children of congressmen. Anyone who questions this is labeled a Putin puppet.

Well, I have been called worse.

There is another side of the story, weak as it may be. In a speech Power Line called, "The Madness of Vlad the Inhaler," Putin made a Zelensky-style plea to his colleagues. Most of it was BS. There is no rationalization for the invasion. See for yourself.

But this resonated with me: "I want ordinary citizens of Western countries to hear me too: they are now persistently trying to convince you that all your difficulties are the result of some hostile actions of Russia, that you have to pay for the fight against the mythical Russian threat from your own wallet. All this is a lie.

"And the truth is that the current problems faced by millions of people in the West are the result of many years of actions by the ruling elites of their states, their mistakes, myopia and ambitions. These elites are not thinking about how to improve the lives of their citizens in Western countries. They are obsessed with their own vested interests and super profits.

"Evidence of this is the data of international organizations, which directly say that social problems, even in leading Western countries, have only worsened in recent years, that inequality is growing, the gap between rich and poor, racial and national conflicts are making themselves felt."

Putin is using the left's own arguments against the left.

He lashed out at economic sanctions which he has countered by limiting grain and fertilizer exports, which will send soaring food prices even higher. $5 gasoline? Hah. Wait till we have $5 milk.

He pointed out the amorality of the economic sanctions that drew blood.

He said, "All verbal tinsel about political correctness, inviolability of private property, freedom of speech -- all this flew off overnight. Even the Olympic principles were trampled on. They did not hesitate to settle scores with the Paralympic athletes - this is such a sport outside of politics."

That is a reference to a New York Times report, "In Reversal, Paralympics Bars Athletes From Russia and Belarus."

Those cheering the firing of an opera soprano or requiring a Denunciation of Putin Card for a Russian to play at Wimbledon need to realize that they are next. You can never be woke enough because the rules are constantly changing. Tennis champ, Martina Navratilova, a pioneer in lesbian rights, is now an outcast because she dares question transgenderism.

Putin knows this and he plays against it. He lashed out at oligarchs who have been Westernized.

He said, "I am not at all judging those who have a villa in Miami or the French Riviera, who cannot do without foie gras, oysters or so-called gender freedoms. The problem is absolutely not in this, but, I repeat, in the fact that many of these people, by their very nature, are mentally located precisely there, and not here, not with our people, not with Russia."

Of course the cable channels label his nationalism as evil while Zelensky's nationalism is saintly.

I don't think this war will do in Putin or Zelensky. Patriotism rings true in sane countries.

History shows that Russians may be dumb as bears but they do love their country. They call World War 2 the Great Patriotic War. Millions of deaths did not bring Stalin down because he saved the country in the eyes of his countrymen.

Putin is of course KGB. That means he knows of the world outside of Russia. He knows it well.

His line about "so-called gender freedoms" echoes across the globe. Many see Uncle Sam now as a drag queen.

In journalism, there are at least two sides of every story or else it is not journalism.

The collapse of the Soviet Union liberated hundreds of millions of people in Poland, Ukraine and all those Stans.

But the collapse also humiliated the Russian people, just as the World War I reparations humiliated Germany.

Russia had no business invading Ukraine.

We have no business being in Ukraine. But we are up to our necks in it because a corrupt government and its corrupt corporations pay Hunter Biden and other offspring of politicians well.

Writing off Putin's speech as madness may make you feel good and superior, but it also makes you look shallow and weak.

Hate to tell ya, bruh. But you look shallow and weak.

Soros lover.

The fact that US office holders and present and former officials milk US aid and foreign assistance programs like a fat teat has nothing specifically to do with Ukraine....

Perhaps the dumbest sentence ever written in the history of the earth.

Putin’ invasion of Ukraine is ‘Wag the dog” on steroids. Roll-over-Biden just rolled over and waged his dog like a cowardly yellow-bellied sapsucker.

Found this to be interesting because of otherwise unknown historical information and also because of a Christian perspective from an outside country. The perspective is that of an oppressed White person from South Africa.

Will watch entire video again. One note is that as it is on Vimeo, less likely to be removed than if on YT. Would like to see it put up on Rumble and/or Bitchute.

Uncertain Baal here. Elaborate? Thank you, Norski.

[eyedigress]

Not our fight.

One World to reach GOD. The Tower of Babel.

It is forbidden.

The USD is being toppled and the G7r's keep digging a deeper rut .

there could be a great depression coming for the USA

[Norski]

Ah. Yes, Babel. One World, Govt, Language.

[Norski]

Yes, possible endgame.

Think addressed in lecture posted. About to re-watch and will post more. Thank you.

Our #1 goal for settling the Ukraine crisis should be a regime change in Russia.

Invasive regime change in Ukraine is what led to this mass destruction. Traditional solutions build up everyone. Leftist solutions destroy everything they touch.

This is the time you have been chosen for.

[eyedigress]

Many cannot see what is going on. I don’t know why.

It is a bit strange to me.

India has abandoned the USD for yuan in oil deals with Russia, India uses 1/3 of the worlds oil/gas

Biden is flailing around flapping his yapper throwing out checks uncle sam cant cover, The US military may not be able to hold off the wolfpack much longer.

I think war is driven by that theory "Mass formation psychosis " and everyone runs off the kill the enemy some scumbag politician made because they were cheating and stealing, so they demonize the "opponent" who dares to fight back

people under the spell of war psychosis will pick and choose only their mass formation facts that fit what they want to believe

Imagine if america was actually the bad gut all these years, I would not want to believe it either and fight to the death right or wrong

Biden isn’t running a damn thing, let alone DC.

[Norski]

Do not recall requesting of God to be born into such interesting times.

Having said the above, time no doubt to go and post here:

They have built themselves a comfort zone to get elected and let the institutions in place govern.

It is where we are.
