Putin’s Crimea Victory Speech (Full, English)

After covering the historical and modern significance of the victory, Putin compared the situation to that in Kosovo.

From RT:

Crimea’s secession from Ukraine was just like Kosovo’s secession from Serbia, and any arguments otherwise are just attempts to bend the West-advocated rules that were applied to the Kosovo case, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

The statements came as Putin was addressing the Russian parliament to convince lawmakers to ratify a treaty, which would make Crimea part of the Russian Federation.

In the speech he challenged Washington’s position, which says that Kosovo was a unique case and could not justify any other move towards independence in the world.

“Our western partners created the Kosovo precedent with their own hands. In a situation absolutely the same as the one in Crimea they recognized Kosovo’s secession from Serbia legitimate while arguing that no permission from a country’s central authority for a unilateral declaration of independence is necessary,” Putin reminded, adding that the UN International Court of Justice agreed to those arguments.

“That’s what they wrote, that what they trumpeted all over the world, coerced everyone into it – and now they are complaining. Why is that?” he asked.

Putin dismissed the argument that Kosovo was unique due to the large number of victims during the Balkan wars and the dissolution of Yugoslavia.

“It’s beyond double standards,” Putin said. “It’s a kind of baffling, primitive and blatant cynicism. One can’t just twist things to fit his interests, to call something white on one day and black on the next one.”

The president dismissed the allegations that Russia is violating international law with its actions in Ukraine.

“Well’ it’s good that they at least recalled that there is international law. Thank you very much. Better late than never,” Putin said adding that in fact nothing of this kind happened.

I agree with using this as a legal basis, but it really isn’t the same thing.  Kosovo was stolen by Albanian terrorists, with the aid of the JewSA, so as it could be used as the key base of gangsterism in the center of Europe.

With Crimea, no one needed to be bombed, no foreign population brought in.

His point about how it would have been traitorous to not intervene was also very key. The critics are completely unwilling to look at it from the Russian position.

The entire West is crying over this. insistent on removing all doubt about their idiocy and weakness.

BBC:

US Vice-President Joe Biden, speaking earlier in Poland, said Russia’s involvement in Crimea was “a brazen military incursion” and its annexation of the territory was “nothing more than a land grab” by Moscow.

The Ukrainian foreign ministry said: “We do not recognise and never will recognise the so-called independence or the so-called agreement on Crimea joining the Russian Federation.”

Ukraine’s interim PM Arseniy Yatsenyuk said the Crimea crisis had moved from the political to the military stage.

Germany and France quickly condemned the Russia-Crimea treaty.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron said: “It is completely unacceptable for Russia to use force to change borders on the basis of a sham referendum held at the barrel of a Russian gun.”

The purpose of whining like this is unclear. They are not going to do anything, or they would have already. All they are doing is making themselves look like a joke, before their own people and before the rest of the world.

After the speech, the Tsar appeared before the people in the Red Square, and told the people “Crimea and Sevastopol are returning to… their home shores, to their home port, to Russia!”

He shouted: “Glory to Russia!” and the people chanted his name.

Minor Clearing-Up

I wrote Sunday about a warning from the Russian State news head that Russia was capable of nuking America, and some readers felt it was slightly sensationalistic.

Though I think it was clear, maybe it could be clearer: I don’t think anyone is going to nuke the US over Crimea. This was a warning that they are serious. Clearly, it had some official approval, or members of the state would have admonished the presenter for saying it.

Right now, the West is backing down. Or they have already completely backed down. Putin is trying his best to offer a face-saving way out, and Obama is going to take it because he is too spineless to stand behind his insane beliefs and outrageous claims about firebomb democracy.

This is not going to end with any kind of war or serious military conflict. That is clear now. Western cowardice has outweighed their craziness. Something is still technically possible, but it is unlikely.

I do believe the Crimean crisis is a foreshadowing of things which will unfold in the coming years. But today, the world will not end.
