Edited. by Victoria Nikiforova [RIA] While our Western counterparts were talking about "de-Putinization", the President of Russia attracted the attention of the whole world. His speech before the Federal Assembly was broadcast live by the leading news agencies, and before he could finish it, all the world's media were discussing it in full swing. Our Western adversaries have two reactions to the message of the Russian president - a distinct fear of the trap into which they have driven themselves, and a massive withdrawal into unconsciousness with a cry: "It's not us, it's all Putin!" We, they say, fought all the time in Ukraine for peace, and Russia suddenly took over and invaded there. Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan found it "somewhat absurd to say that Ukraine threatened Russia." That is, NATO military equipment, NATO instructors, regular killings of civilians in the Donbass , on May 2, 2014 in Odessa , carefully nurtured Ukrainian neo-Nazism with the main slogan "moskalyak to gilyak", threats to acquire nuclear weapons again - it was all so, for the sake of peace in all over the world. The same theme "it's not us, it's all Putin" is vigorously pumped by the British Guardian, and the American The New York Times, and mass, and purely intellectual publications. The expansion of NATO to the east, they say, did not threaten Russia with anything. Constant calls to dismember, decolonize, and simply destroy our country - we are invited to ignore this. Between the lines one can read how annoying the West is our sovereign desire to protect our country. How it struck them, breaking all pre-written scripts. There were no excuses at all for Putin's accusation that the supply of weapons to Ukraine is fueling the conflict, transferring it from the local to the global level. Western "peacekeepers" simply kept silent. After chaotic, unconvincing excuses, it was the turn of the classic: "What are we for ?!" President Putin's decision to suspend the Strategic Arms Treaty dealt a heavy blow to the psyche of the Western establishment. They understood the message of the Russian leader well. For them, it was this decision that became the main content of his speech. Anthony Blinken called Putin's decision "unfortunate and irresponsible," promising that the United States "will closely monitor what Russia is doing in this regard." True, the Secretary of State forgot to add that they will not have any technical capability for this. While the United States is openly fighting with its proxies-Ukrainians against Russia, and even hinting that it would be worthwhile to supply them with nuclear weapons, American inspectors will not be able to "closely monitor" what is happening in our defense industry, they will simply not be allowed there. Putin's promise to resume nuclear testing if the Americans do so was quickly turned inside out and turned into a "threat to Russia to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine" by the Guardian newspaper. If representatives of the collective West strenuously pretend that they do not understand the logic of Russia, then the countries of the global South and East understood everything in Putin's speech. The Chinese media noted that Washington's claims to world hegemony are intolerable, and Chinese readers, who often blame their leadership for being too cautious, openly admired the heroism of the Russians and compared our opposition to the West with the Great Patriotic War. Any country with a colonial past perfectly understands everything that the President of Russia spoke about. Inciting wars around the world, speculating on other people's blood, constant lies and ruthless exploitation - this is how Western slave traders made their fortune, built their "golden billion". But now a billion is shrinking before our eyes. And the only opportunity not only to save himself, but at least to slow down his fall for him was the "strategic defeat" of Russia. If Russia does not hold out, next in line for plunder will be any country at the expense of which Washington wants to improve its position. Of course, China is the first in this line , and the Chinese comrades rightly note in the comments that today "Russia plays a key role in the fight against Western hegemony." However, apart from China, almost any country in the world can be plundered. The interests of all these countries - big and small, rich and poor - are represented today by Russia. We literally fight for ourselves and for that guy. Let us give in, and the uncontrolled hegemony of Western capital will crush the sovereignty, economy and national pride of dozens of peoples. One gets the impression that in many countries ordinary people understand the current situation - extremely dangerous and at the same time fraught with countless opportunities - much more subtle and better than their leadership with lured experts, journalists, propagandists. The Internet is full of ordinary people's comments on Putin's speech. They contain both understanding, and respect, and awareness of the great role that Russia plays in the historical confrontation of our days. After all, the President of Russia spoke about very simple things. About true sovereignty, about courageous determination to defend our country, about a new, more just world that we can all build together on the ruins of American hegemony. By saying this, Putin was not so much sending signals to the elites as he was speaking to billions of people around the world. And the world heard the Russian president. |
