Putin’s main message, delivered at the start, was that the elites in power in the West are clearly evil, bent on dictatorship, world domination, conquest, on the destruction of humanity and freedom, and that Russia is the main force blocking them with an alternative, humane vision of how the world should be ordered, and that Russia is, literally the last hope of the world to save it from this evil. He used a choice metaphor to describe this Western hegemonic dictatorship - comparing it to a ‘batty and decrepit old woman’ who has ‘lost control of herself’ and is a ‘danger to those around her.’ Nicely put.
