1 - If what Russia is doing is actually unprovoked and evil like the globalists claim it is, whats stopping the globalist countries from declaring war against Russia? They claim its the nukes but Russia is not the only nation possessing nukes so it would be stupid of Russia to start a nuclear war. If expelling Russia is the righteous cause, how come they're so afraid to actually intervene?
2 - Seems like every other day they're reporting that Russia is commiting new and unique war crimes. If that's true and this really isn't just defamation where are the tribunals?
That too is what I appreciated from what he was saying.
The context of that is the shakey grounds on which Ukraine has gotten its ...eh... independence ....
Of course Putin likes to throw around arguments steeped in international law. If that were the guiding rod, then yeah, we simply have to conclude it is just a pretext. Sovereign peoples are a fait accompli, by whatever means.
If Putin' s arguments were to hold any water, it is logical to conclude the Catalunya uprising was justifiably shut down with force.
This brings Crimea and Kosovo into view. It highlights the hypocrisy of the "west" equally as it does Putin's. The only difference is that Ukraine simply was covered by the "west" to not solve the issue with the implementation of the Minsk agreements and were about to annihilate ethnic Russians.
So, the question really is: who will have the upper hand in recognizing sovereign powers? As far as I am concerned, Putin is playing his hand well.
Another dimension to this is the sheer locality of the movements. Russians are very careful in their approach to not over extend themselves. This means in essence that the conflict there is local, and is targeted to remain a local issue.
And this plays into the whole economical narrative right now in the West. It basically allows the DS to destroy themselves with their stupidity.
Some people are very good at chess. And I would not be surprised to learn Trump and Putin played a game of chess in Helsinki while brooding over the steps needed to put the world order back on the basis of sovereign nations and their security needs ....
