Putin at Valdai. Offended murderer

Once Russian political scientist Vladimir Pastukhov, describing the crackdown on the first peaceful demonstrations against the Putin regime, wrote that police arbitrariness was "violence for the sake of violence, violence for its own sake, violence - a substitute therapy that squeezes fear out of the subconscious and compensates for it with aggression. This is the highest and last stage of "dictatorship of the law is the dictatorship of the jungle. That is, the law of the zone".

In Putin's speech at Valdai, the conceptual foundations of this "law of the zone" were formulated. I will not dwell in detail on all the crazy phrases of the Kremlin leader, I will dwell on only one stroke that characterizes Putin's criminal subconscious.

He suddenly remembered the Iranian general Qassem Soleimani. And although American special services eliminated one of the leaders of the terrorist regime in Iran two years ago, during Trump's presidency, Putin found this trip to the past relevant. "They killed Suleimani, an Iranian general, you could treat Suleimani as you wanted, but he was an official of another state. They killed him on the territory of a third country and said yes, we killed him, what is this anyway, where do we live?"

Well, first of all, Trump did admit at the time that Soleimani was killed on his orders. Secondly, Putin broke the logical chain by not mentioning that on October 25 in Iran, the colonel of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Molashahi and the commander of the Basij organization, Javad Kikha, were eliminated. If we put together the puzzles and take into account that the last two were responsible for supplying Shahed-136 drones to terrorist Russia for attacks on civilian objects in Ukraine, then everything falls into place.  The historical allusion to Suleimani reflects the modern one.

But the most important thing that struck me was that the Kremlin old man talked about the elimination of the Iranian with such an insult, as a serial killer does, who has suddenly been denied the monopoly on murder. He said, what's going on, this is my kingdom, my priority, don't encroach on it!

Because if we recall the bloody series of illegal, criminal massacres committed in the world under the direct orders of the Russian regime, then the martyrology of the victims will be long.

On April 21, 1996, after recording the signal of the satellite phone of the legitimately elected president of Ichkeria, Dzhokhar Dudayev, the pilot of a Su-24 front-line bomber killed the Chechen leader with a Strela missile.  KGB lieutenant colonel Putin was still in charge of President Yeltsin's affairs at the time.

In February 2004, Russian special services blew up the acting president of the Chechen Republic Ichkeria Zelimkhan Yandarbiev, in Doha.  Moreover, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry at that time, Ihor Ivanov, admitted Moscow's involvement in this brutal murder on the "territory of a third state."  Without a doubt, a terrorist attack of this scale was carried out on the direct order of Putin, already the president of the Russian Federation.

November 2006. London. The Russian regime is launching nuclear terror in "third countries".  Opposition activist, former Russian spy Oleksandr Lytvynenko was killed by a dose of radioactive polonium.

Year 2013. Under unexplained circumstances, Boris Berezovsky, one of the pillars of the Russian oligarchy, involved in Putin's rise to power, suddenly committed suicide in London.

March 2018.  Salisbury, Great Britain.  A chemical attack by Russian agents on the territory of a third country.  Former Chekist Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned as a result of the use of the nerve agent Novichok.

Shall we continue? I think that's enough.  Because these high-profile attempts and murders pale in comparison to the hecatombs of victims of peaceful Ukrainians after Russia invaded the territory of the "third country" with full-scale aggression.

The goal is to destroy a sovereign neighbor, and to demonstrate to the world the "advantages" of authoritarianism over "weak" democracy.  Valdai's offended murderer has not drunk enough blood yet.

Therefore, in his case, "replacement therapy" will not do. During the upcoming international tribunal on the main war criminal of the late 20th and early 21st centuries and his criminal organization, everyone whom this maniac killed should be mentioned by name. This is the highest justice for those whom you cannot return...
