Putin is reported to have said many words of truth that have not been presented to the world:
___________________
"Dear citizens of Russia! Dear friends!
"Today I again find it necessary to return to the tragic events in Donbass and the key issue of ensuring Russian security. Let me start with what I said in my speech of February 21. I mean what causes us particular concern and anxiety - these fundamental threats against our country, which year after year, step after step, are insultingly and unceremoniously created by irresponsible politicians in the West.
"After the collapse of the USSR, the reconstruction of the world began, and the elaborate norms of international law - the crucial, basic one adopted in the aftermath of World War II and largely consolidating its outcome - began to interfere with the self-proclaimed victor of the Cold War.
...The euphoria of absolute superiority, a kind of modern absolutism, and the low level of general culture and arrogance of the decision-makers [led] to the fact that the decisions prepared, adopted, and pushed through were beneficial only to themselves. The situation began to develop according to a different scenario.
You don't have to look far for examples.
"Then it was the turn of Iraq, Libya, Syria. The unlawful use of military force against Libya, the twisting of all the decisions taken by the UN Security Council on Libya led to the total destruction of the country, a major outbreak of international terrorism, a humanitarian catastrophe and a A civil war that has not ended to this day. The tragedy to which they condemned hundreds of thousands, millions of people not only in Libya, but throughout the region, caused a massive wave of migration from North Africa and the Middle East to Europe.
"There is, however, a special place for the invasion of Iraq, which was also carried out without legal basis. As a pretext, they cite supposedly reliable information from the United States about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. the proof is that publicly, in front of the whole world, the U.S. secretary of state shook something like a test tube of white powder, assuring everyone that it was chemical weapons being developed in Iraq. that it was all a mystification, a bluff: there were no chemical weapons in Iraq."
"In this context, there were promises to our country that they would not expand NATO an inch to the east. I repeat - they deceived us, which means they just deceived us.Yes, you may often hear that politics is a dirty business. Perhaps [yes], but not to this extent. After all, such fraudulent behavior is contrary not only to the rules of international relations, but most importantly to generally accepted standards of morality. Where is justice and truth here? Only total lies and hypocrisy....
"Despite all this, in December 2021 we once again attempted to agree with the United States and its allies on principles for ensuring security in Europe and not expanding NATO. All in vain. The US position has not changed. They have not found it necessary to negotiate with Russia on this important issue for us, continuing to pursue their own goals and disregard our interests."
“As far as the military sphere is concerned, modern Russia, even after the collapse of the USSR and the loss of much of its capabilities, is today one of the most powerful nuclear powers in the world and has certain advantages in some of the latest types of weapons. Therefore, no one should doubt that a direct attack on our country would lead to defeat and terrible consequences for the potential aggressor."
"As NATO expands eastward, our country's situation is getting worse and more dangerous every year. What's more, in recent days the NATO leadership has been openly talking about the need to accelerate, to force the progress of the alliance's infrastructure to Russia's borders. In other words, they are doubling down. We can no longer just watch this happen. That would be absolutely irresponsible on our part.
"Further expansion of NATO infrastructure and the beginning of military development in the territories of Ukraine are unacceptable to us. The problem, of course, is not NATO itself - it is just an instrument of US foreign policy. The problem is that in the territories adjacent to us (i.e. Ukraine) - territories that historically were ours, I emphasize - a hostile "anti-Russian" is being created, which is under full external control, [is] intensively populated by the armed forces of NATO countries and is supplied with the most modern weapons.
"For the United States and its allies, this is a so-called policy of containment of Russia, which [has] obvious geopolitical benefits. And for our country it is ultimately a matter of life and death, a question of our historical future as a nation. And this is not an exaggeration - it's true. This is a real threat not only to our interests, but to the very existence of our country, its sovereignty. This is the red line that has been talked about many. times.
"On the situation in the Donbass. We see that the forces that staged a coup in Ukraine in 2014, seized power and maintain it under sham electoral procedures, gave up on a peaceful solution to the conflict. eight long years we did everything possible to resolve the situation by peaceful, political means. Everything has been in vain.
"As I said in a previous speech, you cannot look at what is happening there without compassion. It simply cannot be endured anymore. It is necessary to stop this nightmare immediately - genocide against millions of people living there, who rely only on Russia, only on us. These aspirations, feelings, human pain are for us the main motivation for the decision to recognize the Donbass People's Republics.
"I think it is important to further emphasize that leading NATO countries, in order to achieve their own goals, support extreme nationalists and neo-Nazis in Ukraine, who in turn will never forgive Crimea and the people of Sevastopol for choosing to unite with Russia.
"Of course they are crawling into Crimea, just as they did in Donbass, to kill, just as bands of Ukrainian nationalists, Hitler's accomplices, killed defenseless people during the Great Patriotic War. They openly claim many other Russian territories.
"The course of events and incoming information show that a clash between Russia and these forces is inevitable. It is only a matter of time: they are preparing, waiting for the right time. Now they also claim to have acquired nuclear weapons. will not allow it."
"We are left with no other option to protect Russia and our people than the one we will be forced to use today. The situation requires us to take decisive and immediate action. The people's republics of Donbass have asked Russia for help.
"In view of this ... I have decided to launch a special military operation. Its purpose is to protect those who have been victims of abuse and genocide by the regime in Kiev for eight years. And to this end, we will seek to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, as well as bring to justice those who have committed numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including citizens of the Russian Federation.
"Our plans do not include occupation of Ukrainian territories. We will not impose anything on anyone by force. ..What is happening today is not due to a desire to violate the interests of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. It involves protecting Russia itself from those who have taken Ukraine hostage and are trying to use it against our country and its people..."
"Now some important, very important words for those who may be tempted to intervene in the ongoing events. Whoever tries to interfere with us or threaten our country or our people should know that Russia's reaction will be immediate and will lead to consequences you have never encountered in your history. We are ready for any turn of events. All necessary decisions in this regard have been made. I hope to be heard.

If this is true, and it looks like it is, then the Western Zionist media has been scrupulously hiding the part of Putin's arguments that are, as it were, true: Iraq, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Libya and etc are all true.
However, I do not believe Putin and this is because, firstly, he is a former KGB agent, secondly, he is a communist, thirdly, his people live in poverty, and thirdly, he is in league with the Lubavitchers:
