Russia - threadbanned users in OP

What is it about Russian leaders back to Krustchev that they can talk on and on in great inflated speeches saying f-all of substance? Jus he really is taking some shite load of cliches for the nodding heads in attendence. I'd say the ones that the camera's focus in on are bricking in in case they are not seen to be enthuasatic enough. Great he acknowledged the brave "volunteers" who joined up at the point of a gun just like those that voted in the referendum. Did he give out the official results yet or is that not necessary since it was so resounding?

I can't listen to anymore ramblings from a fantasist....

the body language of the audience is very telling, they don't look enthused in any way

They don’t want to see us a free society. They want to see us as a crowd of slaves.

It's embarassing....

Jays there's a week worth of paranoid delusions contained in the speech for the Qanon conspiracy theorists. In fact the speechwriters must have used some of their input in compiling it.

So US bombed Nagasaki and Hiroshima (and Hamburg and Koln) just for the craic and The Russians waked into Berlin as the Nazi's burned it down themselves.

US laid waste to Vietnam but Russia didn't do anything to Afghanistan or Chechnya.

Japan and Korea are just pawns of the US who are actively bugging their leaders and controlling their every thought and word but Belarussia is an independent state!!!

How long more can he keep up with this crap? We should have started a wedding speech wager before hand. I'd never have believed it would go on for half an hour but he could ramble on for another half yet!

I hope it's not special tea.

Bloody hell. Putin is like the drunk one who went up to sing one karaoke song and now they won’t give the mic back!

I started to nod off 😂

Throw a few rubles on the fire dear

Lads this is mental - how long does the world stand by to watch as he picks apart a country piece by piece.

Its akin to a crowd watching a big bruiser beat the lard out of a young lad whilst everyone in the crowd looks at each other shaking their heads and saying "jasus thats awful, he can't do that"

Yes, he seemed to frame the speech mostly as a Russia vs 'the West' speech - with the West (especially the US) cast in the role of being corrupt and degenerate and wishing to destroy the Russian way of life etc.

Those high heels 👠 must be killing him

Say what you like about the Russians, but at least no-one had to admonish the footman for putting the fountain pen in the wrong place.
