The speech delivered by President Putin last Friday, on the occasion of the official announcement of Russia’s annexation of the Ukrainian provinces of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson, was not an ordinary speech, as it went beyond the war in Ukraine and the annexation measures, to remind all parties once again of the reality of the crisis between the United States and Western countries in NATO. The Atlantic “NATO” (NATO) on the one hand, and between Russia and China on the other, it is a radical existentialism that has ramified the scale of the growing competition over the past two decades for world leadership, and the objection to the continued hegemony of the United States and its uniqueness in this leadership.

The positions of the US administration regarding the crises of Ukraine and Taiwan, and the way it dealt with them after years of monitoring and review, revealed its desire to put an end to this competition, but no way!

Putin's speech frightened them in a terrifying way, without any equivocation, and for the first time in this way of defiance and clarity in naming things by their names.

Putin believes that today Russia is struggling for a free and just path, in which Western dictates and tyranny will become a thing of the past, that this shameful page will be turned, that the collapse of Western hegemony has already begun, and there is no turning back, and that things will not return to the way they were.

President Putin addressed - in his speech - two main axes: the first on the decision to annex the four Ukrainian provinces, and the second on the West led by the United States, which accounted for about 3 thousand words, that is, more than 3 quarters of his speech, which lasted nearly 3800 words.

This specification and the issues and topics it tackled illustrate the seriousness of the stage that the confrontation between Russia and the West has reached.

Russian citizens forever

In the first axis, Putin explained that the annexation of the four provinces to the Russian Federation came based on the will of millions of residents, as their inalienable right, enshrined in Article 1 of the Charter of the United Nations, a right based on historical unity, in whose name the ancestors who came of origins triumphed. Ancient Russia for centuries, who created and defended Russia.

He stressed that the inhabitants of these regions, by virtue of their culture, faith, traditions and language, consider themselves part of Russia, whose ancestors lived in one state for several centuries, and were determined to return to their true and historical homeland, stressing that Russia will protect its lands with all the strength and means available to it, reassuring the residents These regions will do everything in their power to ensure a safe life for them, and will work to ensure that they feel the support of the entire Russian people.

In a categorical phrase, Putin addressed his speech to the Ukrainian authorities and Western countries, stressing that "the people who live in Lugansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporozhye have become Russian citizens forever."

He called on the Ukrainian authorities for an immediate ceasefire and a return to the negotiating table, which will not discuss the decision of the residents of the four provinces to join Russia, considering that this matter has passed, and that the Kyiv authorities today must treat this free will of the people with respect, this is the only way to peace .

A mysterious and terrifying dangerous message

In a mysterious and confusing way for the countries of the world, Putin spoke about the era of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and how representatives of the party elites at that time decided in 1991, to dismantle the Soviet Union, without referring to the will of ordinary citizens, who suddenly found themselves isolated from their homelands, as this decision tore the bonds of society and turned into a national disaster.

Putin considered that the last leaders of the Soviet Union destroyed this great country, without fully understanding what they were doing, and what the consequences would be in the end.

Although President Putin made it clear that this matter is no longer important, as the Soviet Union does not exist now, and the past cannot be returned, and that Russia today no longer needs this past, nor does it seek it, this address from President Putin raised a lot of anxiety and suspicion. From what it may carry of dangerous and terrifying messages and signals to Western and non-Western countries, it is a hadith that can only be taken seriously.

Russia and the West

Putin spoke extensively about the West led by the United States, in an unprecedented way, refuting the Western colonial mentality throughout history, and the scourge that it has inflicted on the world, and the extensions of these scourges until today, and explaining the West's motives to confront Russia and independent countries that reject Western hegemony, in reference to China Without mentioning her by name.

The following is a presentation of the most prominent points related to the position of "Putin's Russia" towards the West and the United States, as stated in his speech:

  • The West is the enemy facing Russia, throwing the world into new wars and crises, and achieving its bloody gains from these tragedies.

  • The West, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, its leaders decided that the world had to bear its dictates forever.

    They expected that Russia would not recover and collapse on its own, but it resisted, came back to life, and strengthened its position again in the world.

  • The West kept searching all the time for a new opportunity to strike, weaken and destroy Russia, but it always kept them bothered by the fact that this great country would never live according to the will of others.

  • The West is ready to go above and beyond in order to preserve the neo-colonial system that allows it to plunder the world and collect the true tribute from humanity.

  • The real reason behind the war waged by the "collective West" against Russia is greed and the preservation of their unlimited power. They do not want freedom for her, but they want her as a colony, as a horde of soulless slaves.

    Russia's direct threat to the West is in its thought and philosophy, in our growing development, prosperity and competition.

    But Russia will always be Russia, and it will continue to defend its values.

  • The West depends on impunity, and getting away with everything. Agreements in the field of strategic security go to the dustbin, and strict promises not to expand "NATO" to the east, became a dirty trick, once our previous leaders believed it.

  • The West repeats that it supports the "rules-based world order", so where are those rules?

    And who saw those rules?

    And who approved it?

  • These rules are just some kind of nonsense, utter deception, and double or triple standards indeed!

    It is designed only for fools, and that Russia will not live by such false and forged rules.

Putin believes that Western countries have for centuries been repeating that they bring freedom and democracy to other peoples, but, on the contrary, they have brought oppression, exploitation, enslavement and violence.

  • It was the West that trampled on the principle of the inviolability of borders, and now it decides, according to its own discretion, who has the right to self-determination, and who does not.

    Who gave them this right?

    They are themselves.

  • The West began its colonial policy in the Middle Ages, and then followed it with the global slave trade, the genocide of the Indian tribes in America, the plunder of India, and Africa, as well as the wars of England and France against China.

    Russia is proud to have led the anti-colonial movement in the twentieth century.

  • One reason to fear Russia is that it did not allow itself to be stolen during the colonial era, but rather forced Europeans to trade for mutual benefit.

    This was achieved through the creation of a strong centralized state in Russia, which developed and strengthened itself on the basis of the great moral values ​​of Orthodoxy, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism, on the basis of Russian culture and the Russian word open to all.

  • Western countries have for centuries been repeating that they bring freedom and democracy to other peoples, but - on the contrary - they have brought oppression and exploitation, enslavement and violence.

  • The United States of America is the only country in the world that has used nuclear weapons twice, destroying Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

  • The United States of America, along with Britain, turned Dresden, Hamburg, Cologne and a number of other German cities into ruins without any military necessity during the Second World War, in order to frighten both Russia and the world at large, and that they carried out barbaric acts in Korea and Vietnam.

  • The destructive policies of the West, its wars and plunder, have caused a massive increase in migration flows and millions of people suffering deprivation and abuse.

  • The American elite, in fact, is using these people's tragedy to weaken their rivals, to destroy nation-states.

    This also applies to Europe, and also applies to the identity of France, Italy, Spain and other countries with a long history.

  • The dictates of the United States of America are based on brute force and the law of the fist.

    It deploys hundreds of military bases around the world, expands NATO, builds other alliances, and lists truly sovereign states capable of challenging Western hegemony as enemies.

  • The West believes that when it starts a blitzkrieg against Russia, it will once again be able to build the whole world under its leadership.

    The current neo-colonial model is ultimately doomed to failure.

  • The West has now moved completely to a radical denial of moral norms, religion and the family.

    They have completely lost their senses, and they impose their perversions that lead to decline and extinction on children in schools from the primary stage, and they teach them that there are other races than women and men, and that they can change sex, and all this is not acceptable in Russia, which sees it has a different future.

  • The dictatorship of the Western elites is directed against all societies, including the peoples of the Western countries themselves.

    It is a challenge that everyone faces.

    Such a complete denial of man, the overthrow of faith and traditional values, and the suppression of freedom, acquires the characteristics of "inverted religion", in outright Satanism.

The collapse of Western hegemony

President Putin believes - in his speech - that the world has entered a period of revolutionary transformations, of a radical nature, that new development centers representing the majority are being formed, and that the majority of the international community is ready not only to declare its interests, but to protect them as well, and to look at multipolarity as an opportunity. to strengthen its sovereignty.

He also believes that there are many like-minded people in all parts of the world, including in Europe and the United States of America, and that the anti-colonial liberation movement and unipolar domination are already developing within the most diverse countries and societies, and its signs will mature, and that will be the force that will determine The geopolitical reality of the future, and that Russia is struggling today for a free and just path, in which dictates and tyranny are a thing of the past, considering that this shameful page will be turned, and that the collapse of Western hegemony has already begun, and there is no turning back, and that things will not return to the way they were.

Western readings - especially in the United States - of Putin's speech, and his future prospects at the level of upcoming political, economic and military moves, and the changes that may accompany or follow them in political geography and the structures of the upcoming world order in various fields will not stop.

Will these readings affect the change in the course of the confrontation, or will they push for a more intransigent and stubborn policy?
