Vladimir Putin's Defiant Purpose

Putin says moral historical right is on our side and he very explicitly actually brings up the enemy which gives an unusual thing this is meant to be a we the Russian people gathering together type speech. Putin doesn't really believe Ukraine exists does not believe Ukrainians are a separate people so he almost feels this is what the Marxist would call false consciousness that Ukrainians have been conned into believing their future lies with the West. He thinks essentially any kind of peace will have to be done with the West which basically means the Americans rather than with Qiv and I think again we'll have to wait and see how it plays out but my suspicion is that if anything it's going to alarm people rather than fire them
