Will I Have to Go Through Security Again if Connecting to Dulles to Europe

Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a lengthy oral communication on Thursday explaining his justification for invading Ukraine, challenge Russian federation was left with "no other option" to ensure its national security later decades of deception by the "US instrument" known as NATO.

Regardless of one'southward sentiments near Putin or his actions, this is history being fabricated in real time.

Total transcript:

Respected citizens of Russia! Beloved friends!

Today, I consider information technology necessary today to speak again almost the tragic events in Donbas and the key aspects of ensuring the security of Russia.

I will begin with what I said in my address on Feb 21, 2022. I spoke about our biggest concerns and worries, and most the fundamental threats which irresponsible Western politicians created for Russia consistently, rudely and unceremoniously from year to twelvemonth. I am referring to the eastward expansion of NATO, which is moving its military infrastructure ever closer to the Russian border.

It is a fact that over the by 30 years we have been patiently trying to come to an agreement with the leading NATO countries regarding the principles of equal and indivisible security in Europe. In response to our proposals, nosotros invariably faced either contemptuous deception and lies or attempts at force per unit area and bribery, while the N Atlantic alliance continued to aggrandize despite our protests and concerns. Its military machine is moving and, as I said, is approaching our very edge.

Why is this happening? Where did this insolent manner of talking downwards from the height of their exceptionalism, infallibility and all-permissiveness come from? What is the explanation for this contemptuous and disdainful attitude to our interests and admittedly legitimate demands?

The answer is simple. Everything is clear and obvious. In the late 1980s, the Soviet Matrimony grew weaker and subsequently broke apart. That feel should serve as a good lesson for us, because it has shown us that the paralysis of power and will is the first step towards complete deposition and oblivion. Nosotros lost confidence for only one moment, but it was enough to disrupt the rest of forces in the earth.

Equally a result, the old treaties and agreements are no longer effective. Entreaties and requests do not assist. Anything that does not suit the dominant state, the powers that exist, is denounced as archaic, obsolete and useless. At the aforementioned time, everything it regards every bit useful is presented every bit the ultimate truth and forced on others regardless of the price, abusively and by whatever ways available. Those who turn down to comply are subjected to strong-arm tactics.

What I am proverb now does not concerns merely Russia, and Russian federation is not the only country that is worried about this. This has to do with the entire system of international relations, and sometimes even US allies. The collapse of the Soviet Union led to a redivision of the earth, and the norms of international constabulary that adult by that fourth dimension – and the nigh important of them, the fundamental norms that were adopted following WWII and largely formalised its result – came in the fashion of those who declared themselves the winners of the Cold State of war.

Of course, practise, international relations and the rules regulating them had to accept into account the changes that took place in the world and in the balance of forces. However, this should have been done professionally, smoothly, patiently, and with due regard and respect for the interests of all states and ane'due south own responsibility. Instead, we saw a state of euphoria created by the feeling of accented superiority, a kind of mod absolutism, coupled with the low cultural standards and arrogance of those who formulated and pushed through decisions that suited merely themselves. The situation took a different plow.

There are many examples of this. First a bloody military performance was waged against Belgrade, without the UN Security Council's sanction but with gainsay shipping and missiles used in the heart of Europe. The bombing of peaceful cities and vital infrastructure went on for several weeks. I have to recall these facts, because some Western colleagues prefer to forget them, and when we mentioned the consequence, they prefer to avert speaking nearly international constabulary, instead emphasising the circumstances which they interpret as they think necessary.

And so came the turn of Iraq, Great socialist people's libyan arab jamahiriya and Syria. The illegal use of military machine power against Libya and the distortion of all the United nations Security Council decisions on Libya ruined the state, created a huge seat of international terrorism, and pushed the country towards a humanitarian catastrophe, into the vortex of a ceremonious war, which has continued there for years. The tragedy, which was created for hundreds of thousands and even millions of people non only in Libya but in the whole region, has led to a large-scale exodus from the Heart East and North Africa to Europe.

A similar fate was likewise prepared for Syria. The gainsay operations conducted by the Western coalition in that country without the Syrian authorities'due south approving or UN Security Quango'due south sanction can just exist defined as aggression and intervention.

But the case that stands autonomously from the above events is, of course, the invasion of Iraq without any legal grounds. They used the pretext of allegedly reliable information available in the United states about the presence of weapons of mass devastation in Iraq. To prove that allegation, the US Secretary of Land held up a vial with white ability, publicly, for the whole world to come across, assuring the international community that information technology was a chemic warfare agent created in Iraq. It later turned out that all of that was a fake and a sham, and that Iraq did not have any chemical weapons. Incredible and shocking merely true. Nosotros witnessed lies fabricated at the highest country level and voiced from the high UN rostrum. As a result we see a tremendous loss in human being life, damage, devastation, and a colossal upsurge of terrorism.

Overall, information technology appears that nearly everywhere, in many regions of the earth where the U.s.a. brought its police and order, this created bloody, non-healing wounds and the curse of international terrorism and extremism. I take only mentioned the most glaring only far from simply examples of disregard for international constabulary.

This assortment includes promises not to expand NATO eastwards fifty-fifty past an inch. To reiterate: they have deceived u.s., or, to put information technology just, they accept played us. Sure, ane ofttimes hears that politics is a muddied business organisation. It could be, but it shouldn't be every bit muddy as it is now, not to such an extent. This type of con-artist behaviour is contrary non but to the principles of international relations merely too and above all to the generally accepted norms of morality and ethics. Where is justice and truth hither? Just lies and hypocrisy all around.

Incidentally, U.s.a. politicians, political scientists and journalists write and say that a veritable "empire of lies" has been created inside the United states in recent years. Information technology is difficult to disagree with this – it is really and so. Just one should not be modest about it: the U.s.a. is nonetheless a swell land and a organisation-forming power. All its satellites not but humbly and obediently say yes to and parrot it at the slightest pretext but likewise imitate its behaviour and enthusiastically accept the rules it is offering them. Therefore, one tin say with good reason and confidence that the whole so-called Western bloc formed by the U.s. in its own image and likeness is, in its entirety, the very same "empire of lies."

As for our state, subsequently the disintegration of the USSR, given the entire unprecedented openness of the new, modern Russia, its readiness to work honestly with the Usa and other Western partners, and its practically unilateral disarmament, they immediately tried to put the final clasp on us, finish usa off, and utterly destroy usa. This is how it was in the 1990s and the early 2000s, when the so-called collective W was actively supporting separatism and gangs of mercenaries in southern Russia. What victims, what losses we had to sustain and what trials we had to get through at that time before we broke the back of international terrorism in the Caucasus! We remember this and will never forget.

Properly speaking, the attempts to use united states of america in their own interests never ceased until quite recently: they sought to destroy our traditional values and force on united states of america their false values that would erode us, our people from within, the attitudes they take been aggressively imposing on their countries, attitudes that are straight leading to degradation and degeneration, because they are contrary to human nature. This is non going to happen. No one has ever succeeded in doing this, nor will they succeed now.

Despite all that, in December 2021, we made yet some other try to accomplish agreement with the Usa and its allies on the principles of European security and NATO'due south non-expansion. Our efforts were in vain. The The states has not changed its position. It does not believe information technology necessary to concur with Russian federation on a matter that is critical for us. The The states is pursuing its own objectives, while neglecting our interests.

Of course, this situation begs a question: what next, what are nosotros to expect? If history is any guide, nosotros know that in 1940 and early 1941 the Soviet Union went to great lengths to prevent war or at least delay its outbreak. To this end, the USSR sought not to provoke the potential aggressor until the very cease past refraining or postponing the near urgent and obvious preparations it had to make to defend itself from an imminent attack. When it finally acted, it was too late.

Every bit a outcome, the country was not prepared to counter the invasion by Nazi Germany, which attacked our Motherland on June 22, 1941, without declaring war. The state stopped the enemy and went on to defeat it, but this came at a tremendous cost. The effort to appease the attacker alee of the Cracking Patriotic War proved to be a mistake which came at a high toll for our people. In the offset months after the hostilities broke out, we lost vast territories of strategic importance, as well every bit millions of lives. Nosotros will not make this mistake the second fourth dimension. We take no right to exercise so.

Those who aspire to global authority have publicly designated Russia as their enemy. They did so with impunity. Brand no mistake, they had no reason to act this way. Information technology is true that they have considerable financial, scientific, technological, and military capabilities. We are enlightened of this and have an objective view of the economic threats we accept been hearing, just equally our ability to counter this brash and never-catastrophe blackmail. Let me reiterate that we have no illusions in this regard and are extremely realistic in our assessments.

Every bit for military affairs, fifty-fifty after the dissolution of the USSR and losing a considerable role of its capabilities, today'due south Russian federation remains i of the most powerful nuclear states. Moreover, it has a certain advantage in several cut-border weapons. In this context, at that place should be no uncertainty for anyone that any potential aggressor will face up defeat and ominous consequences should it directly attack our country.

At the same time, engineering, including in the defence sector, is irresolute rapidly. One day there is 1 leader, and tomorrow another, simply a military presence in territories adjoining on Russian federation, if we permit information technology to go alee, will stay for decades to come or maybe forever, creating an e'er mounting and totally unacceptable threat for Russia.

Even now, with NATO'southward eastward expansion the situation for Russia has been becoming worse and more dangerous by the twelvemonth. Moreover, these past days NATO leadership has been blunt in its statements that they need to advance and step up efforts to bring the alliance'southward infrastructure closer to Russia'south borders. In other words, they have been toughening their position. We cannot stay idle and passively observe these developments. This would exist an admittedly irresponsible thing to practice for usa.

Any further expansion of the North Atlantic brotherhood'due south infrastructure or the ongoing efforts to proceeds a military foothold of the Ukrainian territory are unacceptable for us. Of course, the question is not near NATO itself. It merely serves equally a tool of United states of america foreign policy. The problem is that in territories adjacent to Russia, which I have to annotation is our historical land, a hostile "anti-Russian federation" is taking shape. Fully controlled from the outside, information technology is doing everything to concenter NATO armed forces and obtain cutting-border weapons.

For the United States and its allies, it is a policy of containing Russian federation, with obvious geopolitical dividends. For our country, information technology is a affair of life and expiry, a affair of our historical hereafter as a nation. This is non an exaggeration; this is a fact. It is non simply a very real threat to our interests but to the very existence of our state and to its sovereignty. It is the red line which nosotros have spoken about on numerous occasions. They have crossed information technology.

This brings me to the state of affairs in Donbas. We tin can run across that the forces that staged the coup in Ukraine in 2014 take seized power, are keeping information technology with the help of ornamental election procedures and have abandoned the path of a peaceful disharmonize settlement. For eight years, for eight endless years we have been doing everything possible to settle the situation by peaceful political means. Everything was in vain.

As I said in my previous address, you cannot expect without pity at what is happening in that location. It became impossible to tolerate information technology. We had to stop that barbarism, that genocide of the millions of people who live there and who pinned their hopes on Russia, on all of us. It is their aspirations, the feelings and hurting of these people that were the primary motivating forcefulness backside our decision to recognize the independence of the Donbas people's republics.

I would similar to additionally emphasize the following. Focused on their own goals, the leading NATO countries are supporting the far-right nationalists and neo-Nazis in Ukraine, those who volition never forgive the people of Crimea and Sevastopol for freely making a pick to reunite with Russia.

They will undoubtedly try to bring war to Crimea just as they take washed in Donbas, to kill innocent people simply as members of the castigating units of Ukrainian nationalists and Hitler's accomplices did during the Nifty Patriotic War. They have also openly laid claim to several other Russian regions.

If we look at the sequence of events and the incoming reports, the showdown betwixt Russia and these forces cannot exist avoided. It is merely a affair of fourth dimension. They are getting set and waiting for the right moment. Moreover, they went as far as aspire to acquire nuclear weapons. Nosotros will non let this happen.

I have already said that Russia accustomed the new geopolitical reality later on the dissolution of the USSR. We have been treating all new post-Soviet states with respect and volition continue to act this style. Nosotros respect and will respect their sovereignty, as proven by the assistance we provided to Kazakhstan when it faced tragic events and a challenge in terms of its statehood and integrity. Yet, Russian federation cannot feel safe, develop, and exist while facing a permanent threat from the territory of today's Ukraine.

Permit me remind you that in 2000–2005 nosotros used our military to push back against terrorists in the Caucasus and stood up for the integrity of our state. We preserved Russia. In 2014, we supported the people of Crimea and Sevastopol. In 2015, we used our Armed Forces to create a reliable shield that prevented terrorists from Syria from penetrating Russia. This was a matter of defending ourselves. We had no other choice.

The aforementioned is happening today. They did not leave us whatever other selection for defending Russia and our people, other than the one nosotros are forced to use today. In these circumstances, we have to take bold and immediate action. The people's republics of Donbas have asked Russia for help.

In this context, in accord with Commodity 51 (Chapter 7) of the UN Charter, with permission of Russian federation'due south Federation Quango, and in execution of the treaties of friendship and mutual assistance with the Donetsk People'south Republic and the Lugansk People'south Republic, ratified past the Federal Associates on February 22, I made a decision to acquit out a special military operation.

The purpose of this operation is to protect people who, for eight years now, accept been facing humiliation and genocide perpetrated by the Kiev regime. To this finish, we will seek to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, as well as bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including against citizens of the Russian Federation.

It is non our program to occupy the Ukrainian territory. We practise not intend to impose anything on anyone by force. At the same fourth dimension, we have been hearing an increasing number of statements coming from the West that in that location is no need any more to abide by the documents setting forth the outcomes of World War II, as signed by the totalitarian Soviet authorities. How tin can we reply to that?

The outcomes of Earth War II and the sacrifices our people had to make to defeat Nazism are sacred. This does not contradict the high values of human rights and freedoms in the reality that emerged over the post-war decades. This does non hateful that nations cannot savour the right to self-conclusion, which is enshrined in Article 1 of the UN Charter.

Let me remind you that the people living in territories which are part of today'southward Ukraine were not asked how they want to build their lives when the USSR was created or after World War Ii. Liberty guides our policy, the freedom to cull independently our future and the future of our children. We believe that all the peoples living in today'due south Ukraine, anyone who desire to do this, must be able to enjoy this correct to brand a free choice.

In this context I would like to address the citizens of Ukraine. In 2014, Russia was obliged to protect the people of Crimea and Sevastopol from those who you lot yourself call "nats." The people of Crimea and Sevastopol fabricated their choice in favour of being with their historical homeland, Russian federation, and we supported their option. Every bit I said, we could not act otherwise.

The current events have nothing to do with a desire to infringe on the interests of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. They are connected with the defending Russia from those who take taken Ukraine hostage and are trying to use information technology against our land and our people.

I reiterate: we are acting to defend ourselves from the threats created for us and from a worse peril than what is happening now. I am asking you, however hard this may exist, to empathize this and to work together with us and so as to plow this tragic page as soon as possible and to movement forward together, without assuasive anyone to interfere in our diplomacy and our relations simply developing them independently, so as to create favourable conditions for overcoming all these problems and to strengthen us from within as a single whole, despite the existence of country borders. I believe in this, in our mutual time to come.

I would also similar to address the military personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Comrade officers,

Your fathers, grandfathers and peachy-grandfathers did not fight the Nazi occupiers and did not defend our common Motherland to allow today's neo-Nazis to seize ability in Ukraine. You lot swore the adjuration of allegiance to the Ukrainian people and not to the junta, the people's adversary which is plundering Ukraine and humiliating the Ukrainian people.

I urge you to turn down to conduct out their criminal orders. I urge you to immediately lay down arms and go home. I will explain what this means: the armed forces personnel of the Ukrainian army who do this volition be able to freely leave the zone of hostilities and render to their families.

I want to emphasize again that all responsibility for the possible mortality will prevarication fully and wholly with the ruling Ukrainian regime.

I would now like to say something very important for those who may exist tempted to interfere in these developments from the outside. No affair who tries to stand in our way or all the more so create threats for our country and our people, they must know that Russian federation will respond immediately, and the consequences will exist such as you have never seen in your entire history. No matter how the events unfold, nosotros are ready. All the necessary decisions in this regard have been taken. I promise that my words will exist heard.

Citizens of Russian federation,

The civilization and values, experience and traditions of our ancestors invariably provided a powerful underpinning for the wellbeing and the very beingness of unabridged states and nations, their success and viability. Of course, this directly depends on the ability to quickly adapt to constant change, maintain social cohesion, and readiness to consolidate and summon all the available forces in order to move frontwards.

We always need to exist stiff, but this strength can take on different forms. The "empire of lies," which I mentioned in the beginning of my speech, proceeds in its policy primarily from rough, direct forcefulness. This is when our maxim on being "all brawn and no brains" applies.

We all know that having justice and truth on our side is what makes us truly strong. If this is the example, it would be hard to disagree with the fact that it is our forcefulness and our readiness to fight that are the bedrock of independence and sovereignty and provide the necessary foundation for building a reliable future for your home, your family, and your Motherland.

Love compatriots,

I am certain that devoted soldiers and officers of Russia'southward War machine will perform their duty with professionalism and courage. I accept no doubt that the government institutions at all levels and specialists will piece of work effectively to guarantee the stability of our economy, financial organisation and social wellbeing, and the same applies to corporate executives and the unabridged business community. I hope that all parliamentary parties and civil guild take a consolidated, patriotic position.

At the cease of the twenty-four hour period, the future of Russia is in the hands of its multi-ethnic people, every bit has always been the case in our history. This means that the decisions that I made will be executed, that we will achieve the goals we have set up, and reliably guarantee the security of our Motherland.

I believe in your back up and the invincible forcefulness rooted in the dearest for our Fatherland.
