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.

“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.”
It is a double standard. And because of this no one is going to “win” this war. We are ALL going to lose...
What struggles??
From everything you've been telling us, this war has gone wonderfully for Russia, and the western economic sanctions have actually made Russia stronger! Anything else is lying western propaganda.
So this talk of Russia's alleged "struggles" must be a lie as well.
Yeah, not sure where that came from.
Or did you mean the 1619 Project…
That’s more like it…
Go away. I don’t speak to people who help elect Democrats.
America can never be just a “normal” country. We are terribly significant whether we like it or not. We are the pink elephant in the living room— impossible to ignore or maneuver around. So we have to own it and be a world leader worthy of the name,
I prefer to remain, and point out the complete contradiction in your twin claims that: 1) Russia is winning the war going away, victory is right around the corner, and the talk about Ukraine success is all just western lies, and 2) Putin is getting really angry at the West and has no way out.
Both can it be true no matter how many times you repeat it.
I guess “rape, torture, murder and loot at will” is some sort of war cry, but not one to be proud of.
This article is junk.
McGregor is a nobody.
Where did you get the idea that most people here think Zelensky is “deep State”?
You run this board now?
Are all Putin fanboys whiny?
Just as Petraeus, Kirby, Bolton, ZelenskyyIdiot, any Ukrainian official, and any other pro-Ukrainian pundit, armchair general, etc. I missed mentioning who is mouthing anything remotely about what is going on in the Ukraine-Russia war/conflict speaking on behalf of the West/EU/US/UK/NATO, to include the vast majority of the West/EU/US/UK/NATO propaganda ridden media.
Got it.
Hush 💩 poop.
“Where did you get the idea that most people here think Zelensky is “deep State”?..”
There has been much verbiage on FR about Zelensky being corrupt, having hidden bank accounts, unsavory associates, in bed with the Bidens, a puppet of the world order, etc. I have no knowledge if is true, or not, but that is the impression I get.
Does that mean the world is ruled by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink?
When his desired woman wants nothing to do with him, he throws acid in her face.
Because Putin loves Ukraine just that much. Putin loves Ukraine so much he is willing to kill them all, starting with civilians.
Danny, you sound insane.
Fink is just one and the front man. All the old blue blood elite and royal families are the main shareholders, silent partners, and also own associate companies.
Two Companies own the world, BlackRock and Vanguard. And BlackRock owns the controlling interest in Vanguard.
