Read this speech, and see how much of it parallels my preview of Putin's thinking back in February: "the ruling elite of some Western states seem to be harbouring this kind of illusions…They refuse to notice obvious things, stubbornly clinging to the shadows of the past….they consider everything a backwater, or their backyard. They still treat them like colonies…the irrepressible urge to punish, to economically crush anyone who does not fit with the mainstream, does not want to blindly obey….If some “rebel” state cannot be suppressed or pacified, they try to isolate that state, or “cancel” it, to use their modern term. Everything goes, even sports, the Olympics, bans on culture and art masterpieces just because their creators come from the “wrong” country….they expected to suddenly and violently crush the Russian economy, to hit Russia’s industry, finance, and people's living standards by destroying business chains, forcibly recalling Western companies from the Russian market, and freezing Russian assets. This did not work."
No, it only picked up the Tripcode post. It also references 2 other posts as quotes. This happens every time Q quotes/replies to someone.
