Upon finishing his visits to North Korea and Vietnam, Russian President Vladimir Putin was asked by media what it means that the West continues to escalate the war in Ukraine, and openly calls for a "strategic defeat of Russia." His answer opened the door to a Russian nuclear first-strike against the West.
Asked what does it mean to Russia that the West keeps escalating the Ukraine conflict, President Putin's remarks went like this:
"We see it. We observe it. As you said, they constantly raise the degree and escalate the situation.
Apparently they expect us to be scared at some point.
But at the same time, they also say that they want to achieve a strategic defeat of Russia on the battlefield.
What does this mean for Russia? It means the end of its statehood. This is what it means.
It means the end of the thousand year history of the Russian state. I think this is clear to everyone.
And then the question arises, why should we be afraid? Isn't it better to go all the way, then?
This is elementary formal logic, a course that I studied at the University for six months, but I remember it well.
I even remember the teachers who taught this course.
Therefore, I think that those who think so, and even more so, SAY SO, make another big mistake.
Here is the actual video in original Russian language with English subtitles. My analysis appears beneath the video:
ANALYSIS
Words mean things. When a man like President Vladimir Putin says a particular thing, if the world has learned nothing else from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, it knows he means what he says.
Russia made strident Diplomatic efforts over the Ukraine situation for years, and told the West in December of 2021 there has to be Iron-clad, legally enforceable Security Guarantees for Russia over the ever-nearing encroachment by NATO toward Russia's border - with Ukraine being the most recent encroachment.
The West laughed and threw Russia's Treaty proposal in the ashbin of history.
Russia tried again in January of 2022, only this time, they told the world "If Russia cannot obtain iron-clad, legally enforceable, security guarantees by Diplomatic means, it will obtain them by military or military-technical means."
The West took about two weeks before laughing at Russia again, and declining the Treaty proposal.
On February 23, 2022, Russia called Ukraine President Zelensky and told him "You have five hours to agree to NOT join NATO and NOT place American missiles on Ukraine Territory."
Zelensky called the British Home Office and the US State Department for guidance. Both Britain and the US told Zelensky to "ignore Russia's ultimatum." Zelensky did exactly that.
After the five hours had passed, Russia waited an additional two hours. No response form Ukraine. That morning, the Russian Army crossed the Border into Ukraine by force, and the war commenced.
So when Russia says something, they mean it.
For President Putin to say
"
But at the same time, they also say that they want to achieve a strategic defeat of Russia on the battlefield.
What does this mean for Russia? It means the end of its statehood. This is what it means.
It means the end of the thousand year history of the Russian state. I think this is clear to everyone."
is the absolute worst RED FLAG imaginable.
Russia has a nuclear doctrine. They've had it, open to the public, for years.
In that nuclear doctrine, Russia makes clear they will only use nuclear weapons if "there is a threat to the existence of the Russian state."
What did Putin just say in the video above? He said that a "strategic defeat of Russia means the end of its statehood; an end to the thousand year history of the Russian state."
Well, since that is how Russia perceives the publicly stated goal of the West to inflict a "strategic defeat" upon Russia, then the legal framework now exists to justify the use of Russian nuclear weapons.
It is as plain as day from what President Putin just said.
What he went on to say is even worse:
It means the end of the thousand year history of the Russian state. I think this is clear to everyone.
And then the question arises, why should we be afraid? Isn't it better to go all the way, then?
Uh Oh. ". . . go all the way?" Yes, he actually said that. So what does THAT mean?
To me, it means "If Russia is going to be ended, why shouldn't they go all the way and end the people who are ending Russia?"
To me, ". . . Isn't it better to go all the way" means mutual destruction. If Russia is going to lose its thousand years of Russian statehood, then everybody else is going to lose theirs too.
These remarks from the Russian President are among the most important words ever spoken in human history. They lay out the ACTUAL course of events we are all on. Destruction.
Yet we in the West go along our merry way, seemingly oblivious to the actual reality. A reality that WE created. A reality that WE continue to perpetrate.
The actions of the United States and our NATO vassals, is directly threatening our continued existence. We the people have a right to protect ourselves from what this government is doing.
If we sit back, do and say nothing, it seems to me this government is leading us all to our deaths. Soon.
