Putin Says the West is Trying to ‘Cancel’ Russia — Things Will Only Get Worse

Peace negotiations have failed in Ukraine and Russia is now focusing their efforts on Eastern Ukraine, digging in defensive position to the north of Kiev. Meanwhile, the west continues to add gasoline to the fires by sending in weaponry to the Zelensky regime, but more important intelligence. The idea of this being acceptable to the Russian military commanders is astounding but it’s only a matter of time before both Romania and Poland get dragged into the fray.

It seems America has thrown itself completely into this war, short of sending troops to fight. We are treating this as if Ukraine was our dearest ally — and not a former Soviet state with deep roots to Nazism. Nevertheless, it is a client state and has been since 2014, so “the west” is going to do everything they can to stop Russia — down to the last Ukrainian. There are much bigger plans for Ukraine and it doesn’t include the people who live there now.

Interestingly, out of all the topics to broach today — Putin chose the cancel culture narrative and for a very specific reason. Russia being one of the few “anti-woke” countries remaining on the map is getting their people riled up in a spiritual war against the west. People will not accept war without a meaning, so he is trying to make this more about good v evil, attempting to play the role of the liberator of truth and the way of life on par with conservative ideals. This is the same reason why many on the right empathize with Putin: he represents the opposite of the current woke madness spreading throughout the west like a plague.

“Today they are trying to cancel a whole thousand-year culture, our people”

“I am talking about the gradual discrimination against everything linked to Russia… a tendency unfolding in a number of Western countries,” he said.

“The proverbial ‘cancel culture’ has become a cancellation of culture,” Putin said, adding that works by Russian composers were being excluded from concerts and books by Russian authors were being “banned”.

“The last time such a mass campaign to destroy unwanted literature was carried out was by the Nazis in Germany almost 90 years ago … books were burned right on the squares,” Putin said.

“Not so long ago children’s author JK Rowling was cancelled because she, a writer of books that have sold millions of copies around the world, didn’t please fans of so-called ‘gender freedoms’,” Putin said.

And then we have this poor old man leading us into God knows what.

    Given that Putin is a raving madman wanting all territory back under mother Russia, I wonder why he waited 22 years to start this in earnest?

    In the months ahead our hardened citizens will have to pay higher and higher prices for our dearest Ukraine. The cost will be worse than a thousand micro aggressions. Will the wokest of the woke be up for that? We’re gonna find out.

    Dr. Fly, do you mind elaborating why you are on Russia’s side in this? There must be a reason, but I cannot possibly come up with one on my own.
    Thanks.
