Three Undeniable Truths From Putin’s Speech

Other than that Russian President Vladimir Putin declared an end to a nuclear arms treaty with the U.S. — no biggie! — you’ll probably hear precisely nothing else from the press about what he had to say Tuesday during his lengthy address. But that doesn’t mean his speech is irrelevant. This is because the national media won’t allow you to hear it, for their reasons.

It is important to hear this because it will help you remember the name. “Vladimir Putin” The equation shows that what he said in his 100-minute address was both true and rational. This is despite the fact that it deflates the incessant, eyeroll-worthy media framing of the conflict at Ukraine. “Putin’s unprovoked war” “a fight for democracy.” (Gag.) These are three examples:

This was originally intended to warn the Soviet Union about the U.S.’s willingness to defend its European allies from military aggression. It is now a vanity project to make both our political parties look heroic and further alienate the Kremlin.

Biden’s predecessor Donald Trump asked that NATO countries pay more in the alliance. He also showed no interest to expand it for its sake. That naturally led his opponents to adopt the same. exact opposite positionNATO is essential and Ukraine is the closest thing to Eden. So, the Biden administration advocated for Ukraine’s independence. Entry into NATOHe encircled Russia even more with an alliance he already had every reason for to be afraid of.
