Ukraine and Washington’s disinformation campaign, claiming Putin suffered from a life-threatening terminal illness has give way to the undeniable reality that Ukraine’s 44-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky has lost the entire Black Sea coast, partitioning and land-locking Kiev from its strategic coast. All the fake news from Kiev and Washington about Putin suffering from a terminal illness gives way to massive losses of Ukraine territory to the Kremlin. “We are a strong people and can cope with any challenge Like our ancestors, we will solve any problem, the entire thousand-year history our country speaks of this,” Putin said, referring to Russia under siege at various times in its history. Putin puts the current U.S. and EU sanctions over the Ukraine War as an example to Russia surviving another siege. Putin spoke at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, talking of a new global order.
Putin talked of liberating the Russian-speaking people of Donbas, something disputed by Kiev, saying that they wanted to remain loyal to Kiev. But the peoples’ republics of Donetsk and Lunhansk want no part of the Kiev government, whether or not other non-Russian speaking people remain loyal to Kiev. Putin said his “special military operation” would continue in Donbas, largely to demilitarize the Ukraine from its heavy military armaments from the U.S. and NATO. “Against a backdrop of increasing threats, Russia’s decision to conduct special military operation was forced—difficult, of course, but forced and necessary,” Putin said in a 73-minute speech, hardly someone on his deathbed as reported by U.S. and Kiev journalists. Putin talks of a new world order involving a strategic alliance with the Peoples Republic of China, driven by antagonism from 79-year-old President Joe Biden.
When Biden boycotted the Beijing Winter Games, Putin capitalized on Biden’s foolhardy move, leaving Chinese President Xi Jinping and Putin to plan life without U.S. cooperation. Both nations committed to making up the gap for Russia in oil sales to Western nations, currently applying an embargo of Russian oil. Russian oil sales to China and India have more than made up for losses from the U.S. and EU. Biden has threatened sanctions against China for continuing to do business with Russia but, so far, has done nothing. Putin called the United States “God’s emissary on Earth,” referring to Biden’s apparent right to punish any country that does business with Moscow. Biden’s hostile diplomacy toward Russia and China have pushed both communist superpowers into a strategic alliance. Western reports of Putin suffering from a terminal illness have given way to a grim reality.
Putin’s 73-minute speech outlining a new world order was followed up by a two-hour Q&A session, gladly taking reporters’ questions, hardly evidence of a leader suffering from a terminal illness. When it comes to the Ukraine War, the West only hears disinformation and propaganda from the White House and Kiev, hell-bent on defeating the Russian army on the battlefield. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, 69, said April 26 in Ramstein, Germany that the aim of the U.S. war in Ukraine was to degrade the Russian military to the point it could no longer wage war. If that’s not admitting the U.S. war in Ukraine aims to topple the Putin government, then what does? Biden said March 26 in Warsaw, Poland that there was no way Putin could remain in power, changing the focus of the Ukraine War. Kremlin officials understand clearly that the Ukraine War aims to topple Putin’s government..
Putin called the Ukraine War a “sovereign country that has the right to defend its security,” accusing the West of “active military appropriation of Ukrainian territory,” meaning U.S. and NATO involvement in Ukraine has put a puppet regime on Russia’s doorstep, forcing Russia to take its “special military operation.” Before the war started Feb. 24, Putin asked Biden for months to renegotiate Ukraine’s security arrangements. Biden told Putin his ideas were all “non-starters,” prompting Putin to invade. Even peace-minded Pope Francis admitted May 3 that U.S. and NATO encroachment probably pushed Putin to invade. Yet the mantra repeated by the White House and Kiev is the war was “unprovoked and unjustified.” Biden thought he would arm Ukraine to the teeth without consequences from the Russian Federation. Washington and Kiev know now they could have done things differently.
Putin set the record straight that he’s not suffering from a terminal illness, but remains firmly in control of the Ukraine War. Zelensky was offered by Putin a way out of the conflict over two months ago by agreeing to recognize the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk and to agree Crime was Russian territory. Zelensky refused to end the conflict, exactly where the battle lines were drawn before the Feb. 24 started. He refused to agree to Putin’s terms and instead committed Ukraine to defeating the Russian army. When you look at how much sovereign territory Ukraine has lost on the Black Sea coast, the war has been a disaster for Ukraine. Zelensky was given a blank check by Biden to fund Ukraine’s government and prosecute a U.S. proxy war to topple the Russian Federation. Biden’s plans have all failed, wreaking unspeakable destruction on the Ukrainian people.
