Never Yield To Force, Never Yield To The Apparently Overwhelming Might Of The Enemy!
In a world teetering on the knife’s edge of geopolitical tensions, Russian President Vladimir Putin has ratcheted up the rhetoric, weaponizing his words in a manner that leaves no room for ambiguity. The stage was the Valdai Discussion Club, an international platform where Putin has traditionally showcased his vision for Russia and the world. This time, the Russian leader’s speech went beyond mere saber-rattling; it essentially served as a battle cry against the West, even as Russian troops remain embroiled in Ukraine.
Make no mistake, Putin’s words resonate as much as the artillery in the Donbas region. Under the guise of establishing a so-called multipolar world, he acknowledges, albeit circuitously, that his military aggression against Ukraine aims to destabilize Western democracies. The irony is as thick as the walls of the Kremlin. For a man who treats the sovereign borders of his neighbors as mere suggestions, the audacity to accuse the West of colonial-era arrogance is nothing short of breathtaking.
