LOL you are so right.. it's utterly peculiar behaviour.. I truly don't get it. . it seems to me irrational.. they seem unable to to take facts into consideration and seem instead to rely on hype, dogma and hateful denials.. but hey what do I know?
I know there is a history, but as I understand Putin is trying to warn Western society of the perils of Marxism. Marxism will turn to socialism and socialism will turn to Communism, he should know.
Out of all the leaders of countries he has been the closest to ever really telling the truth about what is, and has been going on for many years. I think when Putin opens his mouth, many countries sweat because they fear he will let the cat out of the bag.
First he says that he never said that I felt the US was a threat to our national security. As I said President Obama may view Russia as a threat, I don't feel the same about the US. What I do feel is the politics of those in THE CIRCLE OF POWER, if I may use those terms, the politics of those in power in the US is erroneous. It contradicts our National Interest, it undermines any trust we have in the US. He tells you that what America is doing is self-defeating. He tells you that all coalitions are "predetermined." Not meetings that discuss each leaders concerns for their own countries, they are "one-sided." (This means there is someone bigger than your leaders who are pulling the strings).
He tells you that these actions that are predetermined lead to a crisis. (The Crisis is meant to happen). He tells you that Obama says that ISIS is a threat, then he asks well who armed them? Who armed the Syrians who are fighting the Assad? Who created the political climate for this? (This means these situations were deliberately and knowingly created). Who pushed for delivery of arms to that area? Do you really not understand WHO is fighting in Syria? They are Mercenaries mostly. Do you understand that they are PAID MONEY? Mercenaries fight for WHOEVER PAYS more. So THEY arm them and pay them. I even know these amounts. So you arm them and they fight. Then they find that another party pays more. So they fight there. Then they occupy the OIL fields. Wherever, in Iraq, or Syria They start extracting the oil and that is purchased by SOMEBODY. What are the SANCTIONS on the parties purchasing oil? Do you believe the US does not know who is buying it? Is it not THEIR ALLIES who are buying oil from ISIS? Do you not think the US has power to influence their allies? Or do not WISH to influence them? Then why bomb ISIS in areas where they started extracting more oil and paying mercenaries more? In those areas the rebels from "civilised" Syrian opposition forces, immediately joined ISIS because they are paid more. I consider this absolutely unprofessional politics. It is not grounded on facts in the REAL world. We must support "civilised, democratic, opposition in Syria. So you support them, arm them, and tomorrow they join ISIS. Can they not think a step ahead? We don't stand for this type of politics in the US. We consider it wrong. When ALL parties including YOU (USA), When it comes to the consideration of OUR National Interest. We do not look for any confrontation anywhere. When you start considering OUR National interests in your actions, all other disagreements we have self regulate. This needs to be done. You must consider other's interests not just yours. You cannot SQUEEZE others, only considering the benefits your require. In economics and military activities. Look at Iraq the situation is terrible. Look at Libya and what you did there, it got your Ambassador murdered. Was it US that did this? You even had a security council create a no fly zone, What for? It was so Gaddafi's couldn't fly over and bomb the rebels. This wasn't the smartest decision. What did you proceed to do yourselves? You started bombing the territory. This is in clear contravention of the Security Council Resolution. It is outright aggression over a State. Was it us that did this? You did this, and it ended in murder, who's' fault is this? It is your fault. You must do the opposite, rise above the endless desire to dominate. You must stop acting out of Imperialistic ambition. Do not poison the consciousness of millions of people, like there can be no other way than Imperialism. We never forget our relationship when we supported you in the War Of Independence. We never forget that we "collaborated" in BOTH world wars as allies. I believe the geostrategic interests of the USA and Russia are essentially the same. We must focus on this interrelationship.
In this speech he is telling US exactly what is going on and why. This to THEM (war) is a game of Chess and each player must play by the rules, they choose their pawns in this scenario (mercenaries) there is money to be made in oil and weapons, and land to conquer. War profiteers. So if ISIS are paid mercanaries fighting in Syria on behalf of whoever pays them the most, and supplies them the most weaponry who do you think did 911?.
