Vladimir Putin Warns the Empire of Lies

On Feb. 24, the day Russia’s SMO in Ukraine began, Vladimir Putin said the following:

For “over the past 30 years, we have been patiently trying to come to an agreement with the leading NATO (regimes) regarding principles of equal and indivisible security in Europe.” 

“In response to our proposals, we invariably faced either cynical deception and lies or attempts at pressure and blackmail, while the (war-making alliance) continued to expand despite our protests and concerns.” 

“Its military machine (menacingly) approaches our very border.”

Over the same timeframe, US regimes rendered treaties and agreements null and void.

And US-dominated NATO raped and destroyed one nonbelligerent, nonthreatening country after another — for the “crime” of being free from imperial control.

At the same time, the empire of lies and its Western vassals “played us,” said Putin, adding:

They aim to “squeeze us, finish us off…utterly destroy us.”

What began after the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991 continues relentlessly today.

“Despite all that, in December 2021, we made yet another attempt to reach agreement with the US and its (vassals) on the principles of European security and NATO’s non-expansion.” 

“Our efforts were in vain.”

The empire of lies “designated Russia (its) enemy” for not bending subserviently to its will.

“(A)ggressors will face defeat and ominous consequences (if) directly attack our country.”

With US-dominated NATO encroaching on Russia’s borders, Kremlin inaction is no longer an option.

The Obama/Biden regime’s 2014 coup in Kiev “abandoned” peaceful coexistence with Russia.

Eight years of good faith Russian diplomatic outreach to end US-orchestrated and directed aggression by Kiev on Donbass “was in vain,” Putin stressed — a waste of time and effort.

With perpetual war raging along its border, Russia “had to stop the atrocity.”

Nazified Ukraine mobilized over 100,000 troops along the border of Donbass and Crimea with intent to invade — “waiting for the right moment,” Putin explained, adding:

Kiev also sought to join NATO’s war-making alliance and acquire nuclear weapons.

“We will not let this happen,” Putin stressed on Feb. 24.

With defending against the made-in-the-USA threat to Russia’s security, Putin authorized its SMO in Ukraine — including to free Donbass from years of Nazified occupation.

Acting in self-defense as permitted by Article 51 of the UN Charter — “with permission of Russia’s Federation Council, and in execution of the treaties of friendship and mutual assistance with the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Lugansk People’s Republic, ratified by the Federal Assembly on February 22, (Putin) made a decision to carry out a special military operation.”

Key is protecting Russia’s security from the growing menace along its borders.

It was also launched “to protect people who, for eight years…fac(ed) humiliation and genocide by the (US-controlled) Kiev regime.”

Warning potential aggressors, Putin stressed that “no matter how events unfold, (Russia is) ready.”

“Decisions in this regard (were) taken.”

Nations threatening its security should “know that Russia will respond immediately, and the consequences will be such as you have never seen in your entire history.”

Last month Putin said the following:

“If there had been at least one chance to solve this issue by other, peaceful means, we would have certainly used this chance.”

“But we were not given this chance” by the empire of lies and its Western vassals.

Russia had no other choice than to launch its defensive/liberating SMO.

Plans were made and implemented.

Goals “will be achieved. There is no doubt about this,” Putin stressed.

On Sunday in response to the Biden regime intention to deliver multiple launch rocket systems to Ukraine, ones able to strike targets within a range of up to about 50 miles, Putin said the following:

“(D)eliveries of (these weapons aim to perpetuate) armed conflict as long as possible.”

Russia will respond by “strik(ing) (targets in Ukraine) not attacked so far.”

As the empire of lies and its Western vassals up the stakes in Ukraine, Russia will respond appropriately to assure that its SMO goals are achieved.

As for promises by Kiev not to use these rocket systems against Russian territory, the Nazi-infested regime and US paymaster can never be trusted.
