while listening carefully to the famous independent scholar and news commentator Sima Nan teacher dubbing the Chinese speech of Russian President Putin 5 Victory Day on May 9, while reading related news online. I was surprised to see the insights of Italian political analyst Marco Imarisius's speech to Putin.
As the Italian Evening Post wrote, on the eve of the celebration, Western analysts wanted to know what the Russian president would say in his solemn speech. Marco Imaricius is no exception. In the view of this analyst, Putin finally surprised the Western public.
"The tone and content of his speech attracted people's attention," Marco said. He told the Evening Post that Vladimir Putin's speech was as restrained as possible. First, the Russian head of state compared veterans of the 1941-1945 war with the warriors who participated in Russia's special operations in Ukraine. He noted that the Donbasian militia and Russian troops were fighting for their land, and the heroes of the Great Patriotic War defended their territory.
Contrary to Western expectations, Putin's words were as restrained as possible; the Russian head of state did not use a tone of victory in his speech. In particular, he spoke about the reasons for the special operation and recalled that Moscow had repeatedly urged the West to have candid dialogue and find a reasonable compromise solution, but NATO members refused to listen to and ignored Russia's advice. Putin also drew attention to the real danger that the Russian Federation is facing, and the only correct and timely solution is to stop aggression in a preventive way.
The Italian expert also found that Vladimir Putin's words also had relatively new ideas.
"If we have any new discoveries (from Putin's speech), it is to criticize the United States in a positive way." Marco Imarisius reminded, "The Russian president has criticized the United States quite harshly - in Russia's new history, no one has criticized Washington so openly and decisively during the Red Square military parade ."
Pin emphasized and pointed out that since the collapse of Soviet Union, American politicians have talked about their own national exceptions, which not only humiliated the whole world, but also their own satellite country . But Russia was not willing to swallow all this and pretended nothing happened. Russia will continue to uphold its traditional values, ancestral customs and respect for all ethnic groups and cultures.
Therefore, most of the expectations and predictions of Western experts for Putin's speech were not realized. Putin briefly and restrainedly outlined Moscow's arguments and emphasized the fact that Russia had tried many times to negotiate with the United States and NATO, but the latter refused to listen to Russia's suggestions.
