The recent ceremony of accession of four Ukrainian regions to Russia brought a speech from President Putin that outlined the reasons behind Russia’s current struggles, the character and identity of its foes and, more importantly, laid the groundwork for Russia’s next level of confrontation with the West beyond the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine. In his speech, Putin clearly defined the present fight as a worldwide battle in which Russia plays a leading role against the Deep State that ultimately runs the West and which uses all available tools – including military, economic, cultural, and social – in its attempt to preserve unipolar world domination.
Putin’s words were directed to three distinctive audiences: the collective West, the Global South and Russia. He went back to Middle Ages history to remind the origins and impact of Western resource exploitation and colonialism in the Americas, Asia and Africa through imperialistic wars, racism, and slavery. He touched upon the military exploits of the 20th century led primarily by the US and its allies and its impact in Germany and Japan at the end of the Second World War, Korea in the 1950s, Vietnam in the 1960-70s and its latest failed adventures in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. He also highlighted the dire days of Russia during the 1990s and the Western powers’ attempts to turn it into a dismembered and passive cheap natural resources outlet. Putin’s message to Russians had nationalistic and religious tones, touching on the defence of traditional family values as a call to arms against the threat caused by dwindling population growth. He also named US monetary printing as one of the key tools used by the Western establishment to achieve its self-preservation and supremacy goals, reminding that paper doesn’t feed nor warms human beings.

Deep State sucks. Putin sucks. Not backing either horse. Down with everything.
Putin IS the deep state. The KGB agent
They’ll say and do anything Mr. Putin wants. To include the collection of Western grievance industry talking points presented as a article. It’s about as credible as a DNC newsletter discussing Joe Biden.
“..Putin IS the deep state..”
I thought most on FR agree that Zelensky is an instrument of Deep State - the new world order.
Can both be????
Show us your proof.
Yep.. owned and operated by Poot’s SVR.
Liberal Canadian input is irrelevant here.
It’s a factional fight within the deep state using the useless eaters as pawns.
Do I believe Putin is a good guy? Absolutely not. I am for taking care of our problems here in the US, and we DEFINITELY have a Deep State problem in our government. Clean those evil creeps out of our government and we automatically solve a lot of OUR problems, and the world’s problems, too. Vote like your life depends on it . . . because it does.
Food for thought. Fact is through debt BlackRock owns us, they own our MIC. they own China, they own the EU. They indirectly own, supply, and control every country and government in the world...
Except Russia...
Sounds like Putin ghostwrote The 1692 Project.
There probably is no deeper state than Russia, and its ally China.
Enough said.
You can take the boy out of the KGB, but you can’t take the KGB out of the boy.
It’s amazing that some of the same people here that know how corrupt Deep State is buy ever lie it tells about this war and our meddling in Ukraine that created it.
1692?
What happened then? You mean the Salem Witch Trials?
Or did you mean the 1619 Project, when a Dutch ship brought Africans to sell in Virginia?
A combined message of anti-colonialism and conservatism is a powerful tool but Putin’s indirect and subtle appeal to people power as the only way to finally counter the Deep State is even stronger. Putin’s identification of the Deep State as humanity’s foe may be his ultimate ideological legacy, something avoidable if the US would have resigned itself to be just a normal country and to focus primarily on its people’s prosperity.
