THE END OF THE ARTICLE BY Hamish Macdonald, Anna Levy, Greg Muller and Linda Lopresti for Take Me To Your Leader ON THE ABC WEBSITE IS A BIT GLIB...

IT DOES NOT SHOW ANY UNDERSTANDING OF THE VISCERAL DEVOTION OF VLADIMIR PUTIN TO RUSSIA... IT DOES LITTLE TO EXPLAIN THAT MOST (ALL) WESTERN LEADERS ARE SOCIOPATHS, WHILE PUTIN IS SMARTER THAN THIS. 

I WOULD SUGGEST THAN NONE OF THE JOURNOS OF THE ABC HAVE READ THE FULL TRANSCRIPT OF PUTIN'S SPEECHES SINCE 2000. 

SO HERE IT THE END OF THEIR ARTICLE:

Putin's own past, particularly his early years, is coloured by this mythology. Much of what biographers know of his youth comes from his 2000 autobiography, First Person: An Astonishingly Frank Self-Portrait by Russia's President.

"There are huge gaps in our understanding that are almost extraordinary when you consider the role that [Putin] has played on the world stage for the last two-plus decades," Glasser says.

"Vladimir Putin is anything that Putin wants to be."

VLADIMIR PUTIN WAS LUCKY. RUSSIA WAS LUCKY. THE SYNERGY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND PUTIN IS ONE OF CULTURAL POWER. THE WAY THAT RUSSIA AVOIDED BEING HIT FOR SIX BY THE AMERICAN (ILLEGAL) SANCTIONS WAS A PUTIN MASTER PLAN — MAKING SURE THE RIGHT PEOPLE WERE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.

THE RUSSIAN INTERVENTION IN UKRAINE WAS A MASTERSTROKE AGAINST A MASSIVE TRAP SET BY THE AMERICAN EMPIRE. IN DECEMBER 2021, PUTIN SENT A WELL-STRUCTURE PLAN FOR PEACE IN THE UKRAINE/RUSSIA/AMERICA RELATIONSHIP TO THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. AT THE TIME THE MINSK AGREEMENTS WERE BEING BREACHED BY LITTLE DICK-PIANO PLAYING ZELENSKY. NATO WAS TRYING TO GET INTO UKRAINE, CONTRARILY TO THE PROMISES MADE TO GORBACHEV. THIS WOULD HAVE PLACED NUCLEAR MISSILES WITHIN 300 KILOMETRES FROM MOSCOW.

SINCE 2014, MORE THAN 14,000 PEOPLE HAD BEEN KILLED BY THE KIEV GOVERNMENT IN THE DONBASS — AND ZELENSKY HIMSELF, A STEPAN BANDERA DISCIPLE AND A ?JEW) WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE THAN 2,000 OF THESE DEATHS.

PUTIN WANTED UKRAINE TO RESPECT THE MINSK AGREEMENTS, WHICH WE GUESSED WERE CROCKS FROM THE WEST, AND BECAME EXPOSED AS CROCKS BY MERKEL, HOLLANDE AND POROSHENKO — THE SIGNATORIES OF THE SAID AGREEMENTS.

IT BECAME OBVIOUS (EXCEPT FOR THE WESTERN JOURNOS WHO DON'T WANT TO LOOK) THAT THE UKRAINIAN ARMY WAS PREPARING AN ASSAULT ON THE DONBASS REGION IN MARCH 2022, TO REMOVE THEIR AUTONOMY STATUS GUARANTEED BY THE MINSK AGREEMENTS.

THE DONBASS REGIONS HAD DECLARED AUTONOMY FROM THE KIEV GOVERNMENT IN 2014, FOR TWO REASONS: A) THEY ARE POPULATED BY MOSTLY RUSSIAN PEOPLE, AND B) THE KIEV GOVERNMENT WAS REVIVING ITS NAZI/FASCIST PAST, GLORIFYING STEPAN BANDERA WHOSE ORGANISATION HAD MURDERED 600,000 JEWS DURING WW2.

THIS UKRAINIAN ASSAULT ON THE AUTONOMOUS REGIONS WOULD HAVE BEEN A BLOOD BATH. 

FROM THE "OFFICIAL" BORDER BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE, THE RUSSIA ARMY WOULD HAVE COME IN TOO LATE TO DEFEAT THE KIEV'S ARMIES. THIS WAS THE TRAP SET BY THE AMERICANS: THE RUSSIAN WERE GOING TO BE DEFEATED, WHILE THE RUSSIANS IN THE DONBASS REGION WERE GOING TO BE "MASSACRED".

OUR GUESS IS THAT, ALWAYS AHEAD BY SEVERAL MOVES, PUTIN SAW THE TRAP, AND DECIDED TO ACT BEFORE THE TRAP WAS FULLY SET UP. SO YES, RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE. THERE WAS LITTLE CHOICE. IT'S THAT FAMOUS TROLLEY DILEMMA OR SOPHIE'S CHOICE...

PUTIN ISN'T ONE TO HESITATE. HE HAS TO FIGHT THE DELIBERATELY RUTHLESS PEOPLE (THE NAZI UKRAINIANS UNDER THE US THUMBS) BEFORE THEY DO DAMAGES THAT COULD IMPACT ON THE SECURITY OF RUSSIA ITSELF. HE HAS TO PROTECT THE RUSSIANS IN TH DONBASS BEFORE THEY GET KILLED. 

PUTIN IS A REALIST. HE HATES WAR. THE AMERICANS LOVE WAR. PUTIN KNOWS THAT THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE PRETTY, BUT THE PLAN IS TO ACHIEVE WHAT HE WANTED TO GET IN DECEMBER 2021.
