Vladimir Putin that most frail man in all of Europe spoke to his people making with the speechifying. That speech that all tottering dictators must make one day to to convince the home folks that he’s still he’s all there and in charge. While understanding there is gas in the airplane and the pilots are on standby, just in case. Vladimir Putin speaks,
“I appeal to the citizens of Russia, to the personnel of the armed forces, law enforcement and security services, fighters and commanders currently fighting on their positions, repelling the enemy attacks, doing it heroically.
Heroically trying to save me! Vladimir Putin! To do your patriotic duty and save me. I appeal to your patriotism! Here’s to you Mr. Traffic Policeman manning a barricade blocking the road of doom. You’re our hero!
“I spoke to the commanders in all directions last night. I appeal also to those who were deceptively pulled into the criminal adventure, pushed towards a serious crime of an armed mutiny.”
Come on back, no hard feelings. I threatened the commanders with their lives but for you, it’s cool. Besides there’s far too many of you to shoot. You almost screwed the pooch my fine comrades. Lucky for you dudes, I’m a nice guy.
Today Russia is fighting fiercely for its future, repelling the aggression of neo-Nazis and their handlers. Directed against us is the whole military, economical and information machines of the West.
Because of me Vladimir Putin, today Russia is fighting fiercely for it’s future. Bad guys and you know who, are all behind this and are picking on us again. This isn’t about me you know; this is about an unseen evil and dark forces beyond human sight. Don’t let reality confuse you!
We fight for the lives and security of our people; for our sovereignty and independence; for the right to remain Russia, a state with a thousand-year history.
Flag waving God save the Queen bullshit.
This battle, where the fate of our people is being decided, requires all our forces to be united; unity, consolidation and responsibility. Everything that weakens us must be put to the side, any differences that may be used or are used by our enemies to disrupt us from within.
This battle, where my fate as Vladimir Putin is being decided, requires all our forces to be united to protect me. Maybe you are a soldier, and you haven’t been paid in a couple of months. And you’re feeling a little pissed off and got your ass on your shoulders about it. Let’s let bygones be bygones. This is an emergency! Your country needs you!
Thus, the actions splitting our unity are a betrayal of our people, of our brothers in combat who fight now at the front line. It’s a stab in the back of our country and our people.
They are a Judas among us! Brothers and Sisters! A stab in the back to those good boys out on there on that front line. You don’t want to stab your country in the back, now do you? No matter how corrupt it is. You shouldn’t stab your country in the back.
Intrigues, bickering and politicking behind the back of the army and the people turned out to be the greatest catastrophe, the destruction of the army and the state, loss of huge territories, resulting in a tragedy and a civil war.
You know if you guys don’t support the government some real bad shit could happen to you . Do you want some real bad shit to happen? Well, it could you know, and it would be all your fault! Tragedy and Civil War! Do you really want that on your hands?
Russians were killing Russians, brothers killing brothers. The beneficiaries of that were various political chevaliers of fortune and foreign powers who divided the country and tore it into parts.
It isn’t about me Vladimir Putin. It’s about mercenaries, soldiers of fortune and the hidden hand hoping to benefit from my weakness. So don’t let them benefit from my weakness. Do your duty and shut up. Let’s forget the whole thing ever happen and go back to how it used to be.
We will not let this happen again. We will protect our people and state from any threats, including internal betrayal. What we’re facing is exactly a betrayal.
What’s with all this we shit? Who is in charge here? Won’t let it happen again, ya hear me? You’ve been warned! Cause I’m really tough on subversives. Even though, I just said I’d take you all back earlier. That’s a one off, don’t let it happen again because I can be really tough on subversives!
In opposite land when Vladimir Putin says he’s really tough is when he’s really weak. It is a speech made by Putin to reassure the public that everything is alright. But between the lines is weakness oozing from every pore. Plus, Putin gives his address in a black suit with a black tie. How does the image of dressing like an undertaker exude confidence? Of course, he couldn’t wear a Hawaiian shirt, but he didn’t have the wear black on black.
Putin has been exposed before the world like the Wizard of OZ. The curtain has been pulled back and delivered a frail little man talking into a loud speaker. I am the Wizard, all great and all powerful. My people love me and worship the ground I walk on! All mouth and no substance. No backbone and no resolution either.
Prigozhin is in exile in Minsk? He isn’t in exile in Minsk? He has been cleared of all charges. He hasn’t been cleared of all charges. Wagner troops will be integrated into Russian military units. Not all Wagner troops will be integrated into the Russian military units only the one’s willing to sign a contract.
Like the Pirates of days of old. Wagner men are the worst of the worst, convicts’ killers, and mercenaries. They are for the most part escapees from the hands of the Russian government. And as despicable as being a Wagner man might be they do get paid. It’s those little company benefits that makes all the difference in retaining valued company employees.
The speech screams weakness and projects into opposite Land. News that the countries defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has been placed under house arrest. Defense minister Shoigu was Prigozhin’s arch nemesis and prime target. Maybe just arrest everyone and let the judges decide. When you don’t know what is going on and you haven’t got a clue… arrest everyone. So, you look tough, revoke a pardon fairly given trying to look tough.
Begging for support cajoling, “come on do the right thing! Do it for your country, Do it for Mother Russia! Do it so that bad things won’t happen. Do for the boys on the front line, don’t let em down. Do it for me Vladimir Putin. I’m your friend, and I’m tough!”
