Say what you will about Putin, whether referencing his past association with WEF or his current implementation of Sputnik V variant of DEATHVAX™ or his technocratic QR code passport schemes, every single point he made in his speech today is historically 100% correct.

Although our MSM seems intent on painting Putin as an insane, corrupt warmonger (remember Saddam Hussein?), who does everything to advance his own personal wealth and that of his "cronies! iMHO, nothing can be further from the truth. After the dissolution of the USSR, the vacuum of the end of state control in the various Soviet republics was filled by corrupt politicians and organized crime leaders who became billionaire oligarchs victimizing the common people and destroying their respective economies, while infrastructures disintegrated. After several failed Russian leaders, Putin came in and took an iron grip on the country, confiscating the ill-gotten wealth of many of the oligarchs, and doing much to service Russian infrastructure and the economy. While some might say that in doing so he enriched himself, I say this may have been necessary to solidify his political clout so that he could continue with his program. Either way you look at it, he's not going anywhere, and he seems to be motivated not by greed, but by his love of Russia! Again, our slanted MSM would have you believe that his motives are imperialistic, I see motives such as restoring the water supply canal to Crimea, that Ukraine blocked since 2015, protecting ethic Russians on the East side of Ukraine (and the Crimea) and (what brought it to a head) the increasingly probable entry of Ukraine into NATO, an organization with the only raison d'etre as being a military alliance to counter Russia and its allies!

From this speech, I wonder if there is still an association with WEF. HE certainly is smart. And he of course, cites the belonging to one country once. But what do the people in Ukraine think. Do they want to rejoin the old motherland? There is plenty of space in Russia, they could also move.
There is less than zero advantage to occupy Ukraine from an economic or geopolitical perspective once the nazis and CIA (same difference) are removed and the nation organically defaults back to its cultural leanings. If it does revert to the true Ukraine, then it will become a de facto partner to Russia as per history. It's really that simple. In terms of WEF i will say that too many politicians in Russia are WEF grads and assets, and Putins Sputkin V position along w/ QR codes is deeply troubling.
After Russia Annexed the Crimea in 2014 (which Russia took from the Ottoman Empire in the 1850s & therefore was never ancestral Ukrainian territory in the first place) the Ukranians blocked a canal that supplied 85% of the peninsula's water. The first thing the Russian army did when they got the chance was to remove the blockage! Other than that, protecting the ethnic Russans in Eastern Ukraine who have formed breakaway republics, and to prevent the threat of the Ukraine becoming a base for Western militaries to threaten Russia from the South, I'm sure Russia is very tired of having to monetarily support the have-not welfare state to its South.
Some of the people living in Ukraine lean towards the West, and some towards Russia, but there are (were?) multitudes who just wanted to be left alone and not be dictated from far away irregardless of where the dictate comes from.
Makes me think of that old song. Soldiers who want to be heroes...but there are millions who want to be civilians. Why do politicians want to dictate others to do as the want? Do the people really want that?
Remember last August when China's new mach 5 hypersonic glide missile flew around the globe & then landed within 24 miles of its target? And our new woke military didn't notice it?
Well shortly thereafter, Russia tested its mach 6 hypersonic glide missile. They've been testing them all winter. They also have hyperspnic cruise missiles. Apparently they just tested a bunch of them last Saturday.
They can't be stopped or intercepted or even picked up by radar. And I think they are being used.
Please expose my lack of critical thinking and debunk a single historical point that was made. Otherwise you have not made an argument. We here are open to free debate vs ad hominem.
Nothing that you wrote above contradicts the 100% accurate claim, not a thing. Your subjective interpretations are just that. To keep it as simple as possible for you: NATO and USA gave assurances in the 1980s that not an inch of expansion encroaching on Russia would occur. It did. The USA ran a color revolution in 2014, w/ Nuland and then US ambassador to Ukraine caught on a recorded convo planning to install their president ie caught planning a coup. Putin is 100% correct in his assessments and moves re: this. All other points are historically verifiable, from WMD to Libya to mendacious bad faith negotiations over the years. Thanks.
i addressed your (1) in simplest terms. the rest are your opinions, and you are entitled to them.
your (4) "It is not our plan to occupy the Ukrainian territory. We do not intend to impose anything on anyone by force.” If he's not imposing by force then what exactly are the soldiers, tanks and missiles for?
you again misunderstand the nature of the operation which was spelled out for you: clearing out the country of NATO weapons and neo nazis is NOT an occupation, it is, as I wrote and Putin explained a temp operation.
It's pretty obvious that the US via NATO has been agitating in the Ukraine and poking the Bear for some years now (shudder.. think Hunter Biden's visits).
I've Ukrainian friends who explain that in many instances, people in the same family are on opposing sides (like the DeathVax) and that many, many people in the disputed areas are wanting to stay with Russia (because they're literally ethnic Russians)!
Do you think the US would have tolerated the Ruskis hanging around Alaska and trying to influence politics there?
Hmmm... I agree with Tucker Carlson, the USA should worry about its own borders.

Not sure I would agree he should be the last person lecturing about ornamental elections, but I understand the point. Ornamental elections seem to be the de facto standard everywhere in the world. I suppose time will time what is fact and what is fiction from this speech. It would have been a comedy show if the US mash potato brain president give a similar speech.

seduced people want what their seducer wants.
Can you please tell me to whom, and where, Putin was speaking as this was on 2/24/22?
i would read that as biowarfare to whoever in Europe that sticks their oar in

And when are George W and Cheney going to trial at The Hague for the WMD lie? Never, because most of the lives lost were only Arabs!

I have no more time to address the rest.

Putin is not to be trusted. See my article repost just posted: https://2ndsmartestguyintheworld.substack.com/p/order-out-of-chaos-how-the-ukraine?utm_source=url
Nope, I'd go along with the original assessment.
The absolute cherry on the top was "... ornamental election procedures..."
Bull's-eye.
I agree, but Putin should be the last person lecturing people about "ornamental elections"!
