Putin and Russia's cognitive dissonance

[WizardofSoda]

In Putin's long speech where he made the case for why to take over Ukraine, he had a central argument. That the Anglo-America Empire intends to take over all of Russia and they aren't going to stop, which is an existential threat to Moscow's sovereignty. Which I fully agree with him, that is the plan. He viewed that Ukraine is of vital strategic importance to defend Russia, which is true.

But then Putin later says he views America and the West as weak and in decline. And therefore Russia can win this war more or less is his point.

Here is the cognitive dissonance.. if America is weak and in decline, then why are you so worried about American power expanding east in Europe? Why not just keep building up your country and wait for America & the West to decline. On the other hand if America is this super power that you are very threatened by.. if you try to fight America(with the Ukrainians as the proxies) America at minimum is going to drain your resources and military in that fight.

You see it makes no sense to have it both ways. Either America is this insane power that is expanding in power, or America is weak and in decline.

America is weak and in decline in terms of morality and spirituality.

Back in WWII Goebbels said that America is half-negrified and half-Judaized. So it won't be able to fight Germany.

Since then America not only doubled down, we tripled down on being negrified and Judaized.
