President Putin’s speech centred of his intentions of improving the lives of the Russian people. This was also the topic of half his speech on March 1st . However, nowhere in these speeches did President Putin mention that there are nations in the West absolutely determined to thwart these plans and subvert them at ever turn. They don’t do this by military means but by economic throttling of Russian. They are doing this now. The thing is Russia does not just face the ‘usual’ economic problems but the active obstruction of Western powers.
Congratulations Mr. President Putin! The video shows that obviously the inauguration happened at 12 p.m. and not 12 a.m. as stated.
