President Vladimir Putin delivered a speech Monday, addressing the situation between Russia and Ukraine. He spouted the typical nonsense you’d expect from an authoritarian world leader, threatening his neighbor if they don’t comply with Russia’s invasion. But there was one part — Glenn explains — only Americans in power likely would understand.

GLENN: Russian president, Vladimir Putin, claimed on a speech on Monday, that Ukraine was completely created by the Soviet Union, in the aftermath of the 1970 Bolshevik revolution.

Ukraine -- I'm quoting, an inherent part of our history, culture, spiritual space. They're our comrades, relatives. Not only colleagues, friends. But our family. People we have blood and family ties with, Putin said. Okay. That doesn't sound good.

And then he went into this really weird history lesson. Remember, he's the guy who said, the fall of the Soviet Union, is the biggest error in modern history.

STU: There's a strange thing to say about that. That particular century -- there's a lot of big events that happened there.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Right.

However -- however, I don't think he means the fall of the Soviet empire. The Soviet Union. He means the fall of the empire. Because yesterday, he went on to take on Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev. For giving away parts of the Soviet Union, to Poland, Hungary, and Ukraine.

He said that these guys are responsible for taking apart the Russian empire.

Well, don't you still have Lenin on ice there in front of the Kremlin?

Why is he doing this?

Because of the influence of thought, of one guy.

Aleksandr Dugin.

If you ever read Aleksandr Dugin, this could have been written by him.

He was talking all about the core values that we have. And the religion that we all celebrate.

And the rise up of -- of the old Russian empire.

The premodern empire.

It was scary stuff, if you know what you are looking for.

I don't know what his intention is. He looked crazy. He sounded crazy. If you look at what he said read what he said, it sounds crazy.

But if you know Aleksandr Dugin, and what he preaches in -- in Russia. Oh, it's -- it's a fourth political theory.

Now, I don't know if he was doing it, because he has adopted this crazy philosophy. Or he just wants people to think he's crazy. So they're like, don't screw with him. He's got a a twitchy eye. One way or another, it doesn't really matter.

Putin threatened yesterday, a bloodbath, if Ukraine resists the loss of territory, because he took two states. And they've -- and they've -- you know, they have the Russian separatists in those two states. But what happened was, when they took over Ukraine. You know, they killed almost all the Ukrainians.

And then they sent in all these Russian families. They said, you, you, you, you're moving to Ukraine. But I don't -- you're moving to Ukraine. So they moved to Ukraine, and they raised their family.

And in these two particular states, there's a lot of Russian ties.

Okay?

And so they've already claimed, no, these are Russian states. No, it's a Ukrainian state. But you just sent a whole bunch of Russians in here. So yesterday, he just took them. And then signed a document, and said, yep. They're ours now.

STU: Well, he recognized their independence.

GLENN: Thank you. Yes. Yes. Yes. You're right.

STU: And then sent troops immediately in. Which is what you do, with a new independent country.

GLENN: Right. We're recognizing them. That's all we're doing, and sending in troops. It's not an invasion. So that's pretty much what our government said. It's not really an invasion. This is what Putin -- I mean, I'm sorry. This is what Biden said in a gaffe. Quote, unquote.

It wasn't a gaffe. He's just so senile, he doesn't what he's saying sometimes. He's like, oh, that was secret?

I wasn't supposed to say that?

He has spoken in the past, about we'll see what kind of invasion it is.

It's just like a little incursion, then we're not going to do much.

Well, I have news for you. The rest of the world is doing a lot. We're not. But why?

Let me tell you about the part of the speech, that no one will talk about. No one is going to talk about the Aleksandr Dugin stuff.

Because they don't have any idea what it is. I'm telling you, if you don't know who Aleksandr Dugin is. And you're interested in world affairs.

Especially what Russia is up to. You should read the fourth political theory.

Your hair will fall out. Okay?

It actually -- you'll read the first part of it. You know, few chapters. And you'll be like, yeah. That's right. Who will tell us, what our heritage will be?

Who will tell us, what religion we've got to practice, and tell us have to be alone on the swim team. And guys can't have babies.

There's a lot in there, that you can go, yeah. It's there for a reason. It's there to scoop up all of the disenfranchised people.

You'll agree with some of the stuff he says. If you're smart, you won't get wrapped up in the rah-rah. And then you'll say, wait a minute. What is his plan?

Armageddon?

He's really for Armageddon. It will take Armageddon to reset the whole world.

Yeah. I'm not for the Armageddon party. Maybe that's just me. Okay. So here's what he said, Putin.

He talks about going in. And the problems of Ukraine.

And then he says this: At the time radicals were becoming more and more brazen, and the claims were becoming bigger and bigger. So they had no problem to influence the weak power, that was weakened by the virus of corruption.

And they were replacing cultural, economic, social interests of the people. Actual sovereignty of Ukraine, by speculations on nationalist ground.

Cultural, economic, and social interests were being changed. Who does that sound like?

Who could possibly change though? Who was over in 2014 to 2016, that could have possibly influenced cultural economic and social norms?

In case you don't know yet, he says, stable statehood hasn't been built in Ukraine. And the political electoral procedures, oh. Who could have changing those.

Served as just a screen to divide power and assets, between oligarch plans. Wait a minute. Who was giving money to the oligarch plans?

Corruption, that is a problem in a lot of countries, including Russia.

Ukraine has become a thing of its own. It's been corroding the entire system. As the branches of the state. And radicals use the unhappiness of the people.

Fear and happiness. So they rode -- that we have. And they turned 2014. Into a coup d'état. They were backed by foreign states. From the data that we have. The support of the so-called protest camp. The independent square, in Kyiv. Came from the U.S. embassy. It was $1 million per day. And additionally, large amounts of money were transferred from the private accounts of the leaders of opposition. And we're talking about tens of millions of dollars.

Boom. Now, if you happen to watch our special, on the impeachment of Donald Trump, we found all kinds of bad stuff, going on in Ukraine with Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, George Soros, and Barack Obama.

Millions, just lost. Gone. What happened?

We were actually doing training, a year before, maybe two years before 2014. We trained those people.

How to do a coup d'état. Our social media was helping them. Huh.

So this is why we're being such a weenie. I think.

All the people that were involved in that, are currently in power. Here in the United States.

All of the people, that were doing all these really nasty things, are still in the government, of the United States.

So when Putin just says something that nobody else will pick up. He knows nobody, but the White House will pick up on this.

When he says this, in an hour-long speech. And it's only a couple of lines. Only those who are in trouble, because they did those things, will recognize it.

Hmm. Ukraine was not brought closer to democracy, after the coup d'état. And the political forces that backed them, brought the situation to a deadlock. They pushed Ukraine into a chasm of civil war. That is us.

So if he goes forward. I think, I hope, what he's saying is, I am only going to do this.

But it will be a bloodbath, if I decide to take Ukraine. And guess who is responsible for me saying, we have to save the Ukrainians?

And who are we saving them from?

The evil Americans. Believe me. If my research team, can find all of the dirt on this administration, and the Obama administration. You don't think Vladimir Putin can?

Now, we've responded with pantywaist sanctions. Germany just responded. They're closing the Nord Stream pipeline. And to that, Putin has responded today.
