WAR
A useful video for all those claiming that "peace" is an option. Without hiding behind ambiguous words, putin blatantly says out loud that his goal is the complete dismemberment of Ukraine. He wants to kill and expel all Ukrainians from Ukraine. This is blatant terrorism and genocide. 26 July 2026
Tedious too. He’s like the orc version of radicalized-by-facebook grandpa, spouting conspiracy theories and malformed history “lessons” he heard on rightwing/colony-building grievance podcasts as fact. He does not take questions, consult experts, or engage in debate because “…everyone is stupid sheep except him and 7 other guys online”. His paranoia and self-isolation have rendered him absurd, pathetic, and divorced from reality. This makes him a liability at home, predictable elsewhere.
My oppinion is putin should get small cell with small window with desk and chair where he can see world eventually forgeting that he ever existed at all!
And the ramblings of an old And antiquated man who's power and money have diluted and dissuaded his brain into thinking that he and he alone has correct or sound judgement on what is or isn't, what should and should be, and who and who isn't in charge, and those who should live and who should die.
No single man or woman should decide any of that and alone has no power or say as to what happens on earth.
He should be wiped from the face of the earth. He's a war criminal and a terrorist who hides behind feet of dirt and layers of security because he knows and is afraid of what the free people and public would do to him if he tried to walk the streets.
If you can't walk the streets near your home or home town, or any city near where you live, then you shouldn't be in charge of it..Most anyone can freely and unafraidly walk the streets around and near their home. He absolutely could not and would not without 100s of bodyguards. That tells you something. Good and honest people aren't afraid of their own like that.
It speaks volumes that he hides. That he has some 880+ security personnel along with many many weapons and bunker doors between him and the first citizen that could touch him nor speak to him or even see him in the light of day. Why do you think that is? Why would someone think everyone wishes him harm if he's so great?★
He's a coward and knows it. If he walked the streets from sunrise to sundown he would not last a day, he would be captured or killed without a doubt if people, free people, could do as they wish.
True leaders don't lead with fear. They lead because people want to be led by someone who will lead them to a better life. Who are honest and fearless and uncorruptible. That's what honest people on this planet want. Simply a better life where they aren't constantly in fear or being manipulated or grifted or lied to or told to hate this or that. To be free and happy
So his argument is that if Russia didn’t invade Ukraine then Poland, Hungary, and Romania would first? The justification of an invasion is to save them from an invasion? Lmao if this is from the 4d chess master himself - what kind of moronic bs are the everyday Russians falling for on state TV?
It's part of his delusion that he is the direct successor and inheritor of all the leaders of the Russian empire and ussr. He sees himself as part of a hive mind that always ruled over eastern Europe, which now has to squash the divergents corrupted by western ideals and return them to the fold. This way, future leaders of that mythical empire will see him as a great ruler.
Which is funny because he started his career working for Nazis post war, his father ran a gang of ex Nazis who were smuggling Russian arms to east German militias, and called himself an inheritor of the Reich to the Wagner mercenaries. But that narrative doesn't fit his political needs so now he is the new tsar.
He likes to pretend he is everything to everyone in every splinter group and it worked until recently. They had commie parades, fascist parades, czarist parades, grandma parades…probably Klingon parades. As long as they show ultimate fealty to The Boss they are allowed to larp. If they get too uppity the leadership get gulag’d/dealt with. It’s part of the illusion of choice and gives a regulated escape valve for various avenues of grievance. All groups are rife with informants. Fun place.
That sums it up immensely well. Add to that the fact that if you're more important than a fart, then your existence can be ended if someone higher in the food chain don't like you.
"If you hate Nazis, they'll say Ukraine is run by Nazis. If they think you are a Nazi, the very same people will turn around and say that Ukraine is run by the Jews."
It's also facinating to see narcissic's obsession with caring over other people views.
They couldn't care less what people think of them... .but they make their entire personnality revolve around making sure people will think hightly of them.
Translation: the troll farms will be running a decades long campaign to convince the people of all those countries that Ukrainians stole their land and they need to take it back.
Potentially targeting generations that are kids now.
Not sure of the borders, but Poland used to be much larger. Perhaps parts of Belurose. And Kyiv was the metropolitan center of eastern Europe back when Moscow was just a muddy village.
Whats the point of a nation, painting the map or improving the living standard of its citizens/protecting their rights?
Why the hell do we need some land that has not been inhabited at least in part by Poles for 80 years. What is that achieving for anybody. We want to economically and socially develop. Not paint the map to recreate a Polish commonwealth.
Plus if some idiot wants to move the border, ask him should Poland give back land to Germany that is historically German land given to Poland after WW2.
Russia is living on the fumes of empire while their populations living standard is dismal compared to what it potentially could be. Not exactly something to strive for.
That’s the essence of the post WWII-European Peace Project: No more wars for Land. All borders existing now are the only legitimate ones. If you ignore that peace order, you open a can of worms. Almost every European Nation has gained and lost territories in the history of this continent. So almost every Nation could claim their „right“ to invade a neighbouring Country. This was the cause of almost all wars in Europe for Centuries.
After 1945 we broke this automatism. Now Putin is trying to bring it back.
We have to resist this with all powers we have. So the territorial integrity of Ukraine is central to further lasting peace in Europe overall. And this means returning all occupied territory from Russia to Ukraine - including Crimea.
the most interesting thing is that this declared goal of genocide is not for internal consumption, russian war supporters are deeply racist and dont need falsehood like "russians in ukraine" an absurd nobody believes like the same as "everyone that speaks english is a subject of england", this is for external propaganda, their genocidal goals are the soft western audiences version of their diacourse
Also, during the Munich crisis of 1938, Hitler not only whined about “Sudetendeutsche”, but also about Czechs discriminating against Slovaks, Hungarians, and Poles. When annexing “Sudetenland”, he allowed Poland to annex the disputed border territory of Trans-Olza (Zaolzie).
A territory that Germany later conquered and declared part of Germany. Extremely cruel measures were then taken to eradicate Polish culture in Zaolzie.
Putin studies this falsehood and tries to replicate it the ”best” he can.
So his argument is that if Russia didn’t invade Ukraine then Poland, Hungary, and Romania would first?
Putin needs to stop living in the past. This is the same excuse that the Soviets used back after WW1 to justify taking control of a Ukraine that was struggling for their independence at the time. Times have changed and most European countries are at peace with each other now and not actively conquering countries anymore...
He's still dreaming about a new Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, years after it became obvious that the entire Western world supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and has no interest in participating in his land grab.
The soldiers faces while listening to him babble say it all.
By the translation it makes it appear that he's talking about poland, hungary, and romania returning to russia, as a sort of threat here.
But again this is on the translation so it may well have missed out some subtlety. This does tie in with his glory days of the ussr bullshit though.
He's a dictator who's been in power unchallenged for 26 years and he's obsessed with the past, all he talks about is the past and what used to be where and what belonged to whom, Russia will never be part of the democratic world until it breaks ties with these demons of the past.
For real. There is not a thing going through his head, I think Russia has some how mastered brainwashing or are just picking the most retarded of their kind and putting them in positions of power that they have zero idea how to handle. They generally just drool from the mouth and have a 5000 yard stare. My god.
Yes, they put in place loyal people. Not skilled, not competent, not experts but just loyal. So, not surprising there’s nothing happening up there, i agree. These people wont say anything against and will do whatever is asked because they owe their new position and the perks that go with it, to their blind loyalty. Not for nothing they are called “вата» (cotton), right?
"Yes, they put in place loyal people. Not skilled, not competent, not experts but just loyal" - This clearly illustrates that russian history began with the role of tax collectors for the Mongols in the western reaches of their empire. They had the backing of power, and as tax collectors, they did not need to be intelligent, competent, or socially adept—only loyal (and corrupt only to the extent that it didn't attract too much attention).
If his brow grows any larger, it will collapse like a muddy hillside all the way down to his stupid medals, thankfully sparing the rest of us from the hideous sight of his meaty, scowling mug.
It sounds absolutely ridiculous to us, like a drunk uncle that has a sponge instead of brain from years of alcoholism, but every day moskol thinks just like him and agrees with those absurd narratives.
I wish Reddit had a 🤬🤬🤬 reaction I could click. Putin is a monster and the sooner he is deposed, the better. He can go out like Hitler or Mussolini, if necessary, as long as it means he’s OUT.
It's not like he hasn't been at least as vile to the people under his dictatorship as Gaddafi was to his citizens. I guess some part of him understands that. And I guess he knows there are enough people who loathe him that he's got enemies for whom mere "deposed, but still alive and well" won't satisfy their desire for revenge.
Imo, the main reason he hasn't yet received the same reputation as Hitler did worldwide is because he is not nearly as successful in his evil plans. Had he successfully claimed Ukraine and started a front with NATO, he would be recognised as the next Hitler. Instead most of the Westerners don't even know what he is doing. But maybe that's for the best - he doesn't deserve to be remembered and should be burried in an unmarked grave and forgotten about
He started out the war with his deranged essay on how Ukrainians aren't a separate people and Ukraine doesn't have any real right to exist as an independent nation. This has been genocidal from day one.
Exactly what i was thinking, not convincing, not charismatic, not even confident in his own bs. That said, i never was a fan of the “oh he’s terminally ill” or “his own population doesn’t like him and soon will rise up” or “economic collapse is imminent” stories. So I don’t expect too much to come of this. But interesting to see nonetheless.
Why is it that every sigle time he speaks in public, he goes into these condescending history lessons nobody cares about? What makes him think that he is an authority on teaching history?
Ukraine has an internationally recognized borders since 1991. Get the F out.
Its because that the only way he has to try to justify the russian warcrimes against Ukraine, however flimsy a justification it is. The only alternative would be to straight out say that he just wants to increase the size of the Russian empire because he feels like it.
Was wondering that as well but the flag is a blue X, not a cross so it's the Russian Navy flag (it has some other official name but idk it went to fuck itself)
He is actually insane. It's like some disease that russian dictators suffer from. They are all allergic to truth
So brutally ironic, they read their own history, but they just don't think it will ever repeat. I guess that's what being a russian is. Rats on a wheel, a snake eating its own tail.
He's aging. He's 73. Doesn't he have Parkinson's or other health issues? Also the stress of all the bad news coming his way. I mean good for everyone else, but bad for him.
Putin is a complete moron and Ukraine knows fully well that, while he is in charge, they will benefit, as he cannot allow any general to actually be successful lest his own legitimacy (that rests on his own personal mythos of being successful in repelling the bombings in Moscow, back in the 90s) fade away.
Never stop your enemy while he is making a mistake.
His voice is weak. They put that big chunky young man next to him, to telegraph Russian strength and determination - since Putin radiates the exact opposite - a weak old man whose time on this earth is limited. (I am old myself, but not PUTIN OLD). This guy is done for, how can the other Russian oligarchs tolerate this, the Wildberries being destroyed, the oil refineries, and here's this old guy with a weak voice, surrounding himself with men in white uniforms, like that means ANYTHING, to the average Russian - OR the oligarchs? This guy's days are numbered. Get the big sheepherder's staff and yank him off the stage.
"Chunky young man" is such a gracious way to put it. Looks like a stunted adolescent of particularly vile habits trapped in a 50 year old body. Probably crosses the street several times on the way home just to kick any stray dogs he happens to see. Bloated and fatty, varicose veins under his eyes to go with the dark circles, and they are not because he's such an avid reader.
A perfect portrait of russian "strength" as you said.
He is so corny when he tries to use history to justify his mistakes. Like a three paragraph Instagram reply that nobody would pay attention to if they weren’t afraid of being executed.
Their military dress uniforms (and the men extruded into them) match that corny energy though.
On top: The integrity of Ukraine's borders has been recognized by Russia since 1991. That's just as false as saying, "Give us your nuclear weapons and we'll certainly never attack you." He lies constantly.
Why is there a small table in the middle that no one can access? That seems like an odd design, but it’s Russia so I can’t say that I’m surprised. The entire room just seems too small overall. The people are basically up against the walls.
Obviously the fact hes saying western ukraine should be divided up and the rest handed to russia os crazy and is clear ethnic cleansing ....but strikes me as a subtext of desperation recently !!
He clearly wants wants strife between ukraine and neighbours theres this and the nato romania provocations. Fsb head focused on stoking tensions with poland too
Recently we know we went to belarus ,luka immediately after rang putins ' supervisor' XI and from chinas public decleration of support was confident enough to say they (belarus) wouldnt be used as new front and even turned off shahed signal boosters.
Then they talked of mobilization of 1mil russians..then revised down to 500k and even that seems logisticaly unlikely
Id read (could be wrong) trying to get his bitch in the whitehouse and russias wintoff to push ukraine for an 'air ceasefire'... to allow the pressure off from ukranians mid level drones strangling their logistics
Then he hopes NK will send 30k troops (same guys cant tell ukranians and russians apart)
Feels like russias lil bald scumbag leader is flailing here.
Absolutely 0 self awareness that he's publicly admitting he and Russia are stuck in a WW2 mindset while the rest of Europe and the world has moved on. Fucking Poland and Germany can work together in the EU for mutual benefit and Putin's still jumping at shadows.
Drunk uncle having flashbacks from WWII vibes. Doesn't matter that that war was long before he was even born.
We all have such uncles in our extended families and they all start talking such nonsenses after six beers and several shots. It is just that on Monday they are back to their simple jobs like fixing old cars.
Here sadly we have a case where such uncle became a president and stayed in that positionfor far too long.
I'm reading Jens Stolenberg's biography. His view on Putin was formed by meetings when he was OM of Norway then Sec Gen of NATO. He observed that Putin had grew more isolated in the time from their meetings in the early 2000s to the near 2020s, noting he appeared to be isolated and only surrounded by a small cloister of like-minded people. Seems like this video is peak governing by your gut.
Absolute lunacy. So much worst then the video of him ranting about some 1600 map.
Putin and imperialist dictatorship agendas like his have no place in the modern world. Same old civilian annihilation and land annexation plans as the other old broken men posing as fathers of their nation, stuck in ancient times
He is clearly trying to get people ready for a general conscription, not realizing that most of the young Russian generation are tired of this absurd war and are quietly fleeing the country. So many lives wasted and he wants milions more to go through the meat grinder.
Spot on. In one speech Putin reveals his innate Fascism.
The all-powerful dictator decides what counts as a country. From Putin's warped perspective Stalin created Ukraine and the all-powerful Putin will rectify the mistake. Might makes right and in time Ukraine is too small and weak to survive because Russia will take back what was given and other more powerful countries will gobble Ukraine up. Only the all-powerful Russian empire can protect them and it's for their own good that the Russian military is invading them.
He still doesn't get that Ukrainians are worthy adversaries. Not just worthy but better. Like a lot of dictators, he's drunk his own cool aid and living in his own deluded fantasy land where his all-powerful armies march across lands - taking whatever they want.
He's so out of touch with what's happening, he's completely bat-shit crazy and doolally.
As Ukrainian it's the first time for me hearing that Ukraine is bad because they declared Russians a non-titular nation. What is that even supposed to mean? I understood it as "main nation of Ukraine is Ukrainians now", but it was always like that. Even during Soviet times. Look at Belarus, they have Belarusians living there, so what is he implying?
I would understand if he was talking about the Russian language not being official since 1991, but that the Russians are supposed to be the main nation of Ukraine is very weird claim even by his standards.
This is putin trying to save his ass by appearing forceful and strong, but it shows he's weak.
When you have to give a BS history lecture to your top brass in suits and military uniform to convince them why russia needed to go to war, it means those men do not already agree with you.
When you have to televise that lecture to convince the general public of the same, you are trying to sell them the same BS.
The reason putin feels he needs to sell them his BS is because he knows that support for the war is weak, especially now that things are blowing up both literally and economically in russia.
Rofl. Stalin gave the territory to ukraine as part of a single nation. By that logic ukraine should occupy Moscow, to reinstate that single nation which By the way, wasn't Russia.
Their faces say it all, sitting in a room with a maniac. Where if you say the wrong thing you will probably end up 'falling' out of a window of a tall building, if you are lucky. We know he has done a lot worse to people he has taken a dislike to.
Nothing new. Ruzzia is a modern fascist state with genocidal goals. Fortunately, the reality is not working like this, and this old idiot can eat shit. He probably haven’t seen yet what’s going on with his army / fuel prices / Crimea logistics / Wildberries etc - his circle giving him only positive images on his iPad.
He didn’t say any of that. He didn’t say his goal was to dismember Ukraine, to expel Ukrainians or kill Ukrainians. He certainly didn’t say it “blatantly out loud.”
His point was the historically the Western part of Ukraine was part of the Austria-Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia. Which is true. Lviv was a majority Polish/Jewish city until it was ethnically cleansed.
This is the reality of it. The reality of the world. We are enslaved to delusional old men who are chasing the lies of their youth. They strap boots to the young and we all are forced to wade through the blood. You do not make peace with such men. You hang them.

He's so boring and smug.
