Word by Word and Between the Lines: A Close Look at Putin’s Speech
In an impassioned address about Ukraine on Monday, Vladimir V. Putin, Russia’s president, spun a narrative whose implications sprawl well beyond his stated purpose of recognizing the independence of two Ukrainian territories held by Moscow-backed separatists.
Mr. Putin’s speech was awash with hard-line Russian nationalism, angry paranoia toward the West, baseless claims of Ukrainian aggression, a sense of lost imperial pride on the verge of reclamation and, most of all, invocations of history, much of it distorted or fabricated.
While his comments might have sounded rambling to Western ears, Mr. Putin may in fact have been articulating what amounted to a calculated series of justifications for a further invasion of Ukraine aimed at the Russian public, whose support he will need to maintain it. What follows is a concise annotation of several key passages that convey Mr. Putin’s overt and implied case for war.

Like we haven't toppled 50 nations since WWII and been angling to break Russia apart since then?
Heck, all we have to do is go back a page or two where YOU called for breaking Russia apart. But, you'll fling ANYthing against the wall, won't you? I would certainly never expect deeply held convictions or honesty ... or even consistency! ... from you! Just permanent, visceral hate.
You don't seriously expect us to swallow your bullshit, do you?

Sure! Why not?
After all, if we can do it 1000X over, so can Russia!
SECOND: ...There is nothing stopping Putin from passing his Army, other than treaties he could forget exist. The Russians of Kaliningrad would welcome Putin's Army, know what I mean?
Sure, why not?? We've done that dozens of times!! Bc everyone welcomes Americans, right?

Quote:Putin loudly declared Ukraine is an illegitimate creation: an act of theft from Russia and Ukrainians who should still be under Moscow’s rule. And, in an escalation drawing concern across Europe, Mr. Putin suggests that this applies to all former Soviet republics. Three of those countries are now NATO members, meaning that the NATO alliance has committed to their defense: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

USA might have thought about that during the decades when they were breaking promises, bailing on treaties, rampaging thru the world, demonizing, insulting, threatening and pillaging Russia. All that bad karma building up would be enough to make anybody nervous!

Have fun fighting the war, old man.
I won't have any part of it, and I won't be funding it.
Just remember when we, as the reigning species of the planet, blow everything up before we could get to space, it was the Leftists that pushed the red button.

Quote:The last time the USA stole somebody's land was the Spanish-American War in 1896. In 2022, Putin is stealing somebody's land. Signym vaguely pointing to American history really does not justify Putin's theft. Even Putin can't justify his thieving, judging by the words he is using.

Putin's lamebrain justification presented as a "fact": "So, I will start with the fact that modern Ukraine was entirely created by Russia or, to be more precise, by Bolshevik, Communist Russia. This process started practically right after the 1917 revolution, and Lenin and his associates did it in a way that was extremely harsh on Russia — by separating, severing what is historically Russian land." You'd have to be pretty stupid to believe what Putin is saying, but he knows his audience.
Mr. Putin is repeating his longstanding argument that Ukraine’s borders are an artificial creation of Soviet planners who unjustly cordoned rightful Russian land within the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.
In reality, internal Soviet borders reflected centuries-old cultural and political divides, as well as what Moscow’s own census takers found to be an ethnic Ukrainian majority throughout that territory, including in what is now eastern Ukraine.
Mr. Putin’s comments, which build on his justification for annexing Crimea in 2014, imply a mandate to assert Russian sovereignty over part or all of eastern Ukraine, as well, even if for now he is only recognizing the independence of the Moscow-backed separatists who control parts of it.
His repeated references to Ukraine as artificial, and his past claims that “Ukraine is not even a state,” as he said in 2008, suggest he may also be leaving himself the option of declaring all of Ukraine to be a historical invention, serving to justify a wider invasion.

Comrade Signym sounds just like Putin. Whining and crying because of the fall of the Soviet Union forty fifty years ago. I’m left reflecting on all the years here putting up with Signym posting lies and being judgmental towards anybody who wasn’t perfect in the west. Towards any action taken by the west that was taken for legit reasons but allowed her to pick at it because of collateral damage. Any action, which includes the inner workings of America. All the years of her smugly defending Putin. All the years of her touting him as a world leader to be admired and even imitated while trashing everybody else.
It’s all led to this day. The day when she can no longer make any claims to being anything other than another Putin thug.Another of Putin’s disinformation trolls that care nothing for world peace or the betterment of mankind.

Putin attacks Ukraine after months saying he had no plans to do so
Kharkiv, Ukraine — CBS News senior foreign correspondent Holly Williams said that after weeks of warnings from Washington that a Russian invasion of Ukraine was imminent, when it came down to it, there was almost no direct warning before missiles started falling on Wednesday evening.
Just minutes after Vladimir Putin announced his country's military operation, Williams and her team heard the thuds of what they assumed to be missile strikes close to their location in the eastern city of Kharkiv, only around 30 miles from the Russian border.
Putin said Wednesday night, that his government's plans "do not include an occupation," but given that Russia denied for months any plans to invade Ukraine at all, it's not clear how much faith could be put in his statement.

Putin is a liar and by extension a coward surprise surprise. I hope the Russian people realize that when he threatens nuclear war that he is in a hardened bunker, they are not. They really do need to wake the fuck up.
Signym still insists that Clinton would start a nuclear war and how bad that would be. When Putin actually threatens nuclear war comrade signym says nothing. Any claims now by posters past and present that she isn’t a Polish Russian Collaborator only shows complicity.
