Russian President Vladimir Putin unleashed a "cris de coeur" a simultaneously, blistering, blathering speech quoting fascist philosopher Ivan Iyin, Putin cast himself as the hero leading a global fight against the West in general and the American hegemony in particular.
But rather than making a start of a new epochal conflict, the speech instead laid bare that the President has lost touch with reality.
The declaration was intended to mark a high point in the "success of his special operation" against Ukraine namely for the attempted annexation of certain regions of Ukraine though Russia's forces are not in full control of any of them.
What Putin planned as a blitzkrieg, has instead come to be mocked bly+t krieg substituting blitz, the German name for lightning with a Russian word whose translation is not publishable here.
While the heroes of the conflict are no laughing matter, that Putin is blind to tragi-comic reality of the fighting was made clear when Ukrainian forces retook the city of Lyman and in 24 hoves of his diatribes so Putin was angry with himself. He has estranged himself from reality and has been laid bare by one particular point of emphasis in his last speech namely his claim Russia is leading the charge to resist US hegemony.
