Tom Harwood: Putin's speech last night was beyond the deluded ramblings of a typical James Bond villain

Effectively the previous few weeks when it comes to geopolitics has been extraordinary. Nevertheless, Vladimir Putin's speech final night time to the Russian individuals was extraordinary to behold. Past even the deluded ramblings of a typical James Bond villain.

Talking from the Kremlin

Putin mentioned, "it was doable that the pro-Nazi regime in Kyiv may have gotten its arms on weapons of mass destruction, and its goal, in fact, would have been Russia,”

Putin maintains the ludicrous fantasy that Ukraine's authorities are Nazis bent on committing genocide towards Russian-speakers.

President Zelenskyy in fact is a liberal politician of jewish heritage. About as removed from Nazi as you possibly can presumably get.

What we noticed final night time was a Russian president who's flailing. His quote 'particular navy operation' in Ukraine is floundering. The Russian troopers he despatched to kill ladies and kids are being gunned down by the hundreds.

Putin mentioned his nation was prepared to debate a impartial standing for Ukraine in peace talks.

If we take him at his phrase — though why would we — Putin may now be searching for a approach out. With no speedy victory and a logistical nightmare he's now anxious in regards to the impact of the sanctions imposed by the complete western world

He is aware of they may trigger financial ache and doubtlessly social unrest.

Putin spoke about inflation and unemployment rising. He is aware of that he wants a scapegoat for when the financial actuality ultimately bites down upon the Russian individuals.

And for him - his scapegoat at all times has been and at all times would be the West. Final night time he spoke about 'Western traitors' working in Russia. He described Russians dwelling overseas as 'enemies of the individuals'.

His was a rambling speech. Little doubt an indication of accelerating desperation throughout the partitions of the Kremlin. And much from the 'strongman' picture he has sought. His have been the phrases of a madman.
