Putin’s latest speech March 16, 2022. He reveals his mind. I delve into it here lifting up some very important points and highlight red flags and signal a warning for us and the world! Watch Putin’s #esoteric Speech via my #youtubechannel and I unearth for you what he’s really saying and send a warning. This is now available on my #podcast The Neoliberal Round Podcast Ep. 17 I will situate these discussions about this speech in the wider discussion about #orientalism and #Occidentalism which will be discussed in another paper and podcast as part of a wider discussion I will have later on “The Development and Dynamics of Power, Privilege, Position and Status Within the Foundations of Society and Divine Intervention,” (RMCKENZIE.ACADEMIA.EDU).
Putin believes the West thinks it’s of a higher caste and is not to be trusted for they only use peoples and treat them as expendable. He justifies genocide or murder or killing Ukrainians and those who side with the West as a purification mechanism to strengthen Russia (all of Russia); including the former Soviet countries. In this speech he reveals his true intentions to unite all of Russia by cutting down and cutting off those who side with the West and believe that Western values about, example gender equality, are better than Russians’ position on gender equality. According to Putin, you can be for gender equality but, don’t force it on us, don’t believe that it’s better than our position that puts men and women in their proper place.
Indeed, Putin believes that the West assumes that it’s progressive or democratic or slavish ways of life are better and that this makes their society better than Russia. He believes the former USSR countries have lost their way and are adopting Western ways at the expense of Russia and in order to save and preserve “Mother Russia” and its children from departing from that which is truly Russian, we must “spew them out.” Even if it means going to war.
This is extremism, the kind of extremism that seems to be growing everywhere. It was just recently where it happened here in the US when white extremists marched to the US capital who many believe were, under the influence and motivation of Donald Trump or some political leaders to stop the VP from certifying the US 2020 presidential elections, a democratic process here in the US. Further Putin is being duplicitous and hypocritical when he says others believe their way is better, while he is forcing his way as the way for all Russia to follow—Prejudicing a way of life and expectating all to subscribe to that or be killed. Further, one may argue that once it was the way of life, but when a way of life or a taboo is no longer a taboo and now accepted as part of the new way of life, then there is a backlash from the status quo. Putin’s efforts according to his speech is Saving Russian values, ideologies and lifestyle, which is actually the old holding on to a past quickly leaving them—Russian Conservative traditional values must be protected at all costs! So, Putin’s goals do not stop with Ukraine, it only starts there. For his mission is to force the other former Soviet countries to fall in line or die. Not in the sense that they must join Russia and give up their nation, but more so for these countries to maintain the Russian way of life, values and principles, and not behave as if the West is better and that we (Russia) must bend to their way. This is what make all of Russia weak and puts Mother Russia and her children in a vulnerable position to be taken over by the West. For he believed that the West is invading Russia ideologically and that is the highest sin or evil that must be rooted out even if it means war!
For Putin here, Russia is not just Russia in the geographic sense. Russia is the entire former Soviet countries, (values, ideologies and principles). The purity of this must be protected from the West which are using the other USSR countries to penetrate so as to dominate all—of—Russia/ Mother Russia. Putin is suspicious of the West and thinks we cannot be trusted. But he also wants All Russia to keep its identity even if the West thinks it’s backward or unfair and he is willing ti kill thousands for those fears. But what if those countries want a separate identity that is not All Russian. What if these former USSR countries accept certain western values and realize for themselves the challenges of the current ones. That’s traitorous Putin would say based on his comments here. For no one must depart from the Russian way even if the Soviet Union has broken up. In effect, Putin embodies totalitarianism and despotic leadership. If he believes that destroying lives for the sake of maintaining some ideological purity is salvific, then using nuclear weapons is absolutely not out of his reach or plan. The West must be warned that this current invasion is only the beginning, and we must do everything we can to stop Putin here before he expands his leverage and hold in the region. That’s what at stake here. We will discuss this in my podcast The Neoliberal Round later today. March 17th, 2022. https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal
