One thing I have learned over the years is that whoever or whatever country the US targets is generally because the US and their global agenda is being threatened. The American people have been brainwashed by the constant drum beat of "RUSSIA EVIL" for many years and especially since the Obama/Biden administration. Anyone that has been paying attention knows the US and Ukraine have been in bed with each for decades. Ukraine is corrupt beyond pale and the US is right there with them. Ukraines money laundering, sex trafficking, Bidens, Clintons, Obama, Azov, these are the real enemies. Biden got us involved (he instigated it) in the battle between Ukraine and Russia because the Ukraine has so much dirt on Biden and his entire family including Jill that he had no choice. The US involvement in this battle is to hide the crimes of many of our elected who have been beneficiaries of Ukraine's corruption for decades.

Thank you 2nd Most for posting the entire Putin speech, one of the most important, and telling, of a world leader in the last 100 years, and with which I am in full agreement. Articulate and honest. I’ve more relevant background than most, e.g., inside Kremlin without ID in 1991 for all night meeting re discussions post-USSR. My education inside Russia on reality of “Mother Russia”, fierce, deep loyalty resultant from WWII experience, and how in 1991 they had great respect for and wanted to emulate our apparent democracy, as well as most of their General Staff’s respect and admiration of our military, which I passed onto General Alexander Haig. I was “trusted”, and with good reason. To say I’m ashamed of our governments’ (plural) selfishness, dishonesty, and betrayals in the meantime is an understatement. Putin hit everything on the head in this very long speech, as he does with his four hour open press conferences, the likes of which we would never see in our country. I look forward to the day when we can return to being an honest nation, respecting the sovereignty of nations, International Law to which we have signed our name, and our own Constitution.
