President Vladimir Putin: Russia’s historical choice (part 5)
The results of the 2024 election can be predicted because Vladimir Putin is not only the president but also the leader of the Russian people.
Let’s find out why he is so highly trusted by Russians.
After an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson on February 6, 2024, President Putin said he wanted to convey to Western public opinion the message that everything that is happening in
Danger from Ukraine
President Putin has clearly stated what international political and geopolitical strategy researchers have come to the conclusion: The Republic of Ukraine is not just a country that was only formed for the first time after the October Revolution.
What is happening inside and outside Ukraine today not only determines the future of this country but also the future of Russia, and even the world, because Ukraine is the key to Russia’s global strategy.
According to President Putin, the so-called `rules` here are what America, the leader in the West, wants to impose on the rest of the world.
According to Halford Mackinder’s geopolitical theory published in 1904, Ukraine occupies an extremely important position in the US global strategy planned in the early twentieth century.
In the monograph titled `The Big Chessboard`, Zbigniew Brzezinski – former National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter – revealed that America’s strategic goal after the Cold War was to continue to disintegrate Russia.
Mr. Zbigniew Brzezinski commented: `Without Ukraine, Russia would never be able to become a sovereign power, an independent pole in the multipolar world order.
This means that the future of the unipolar world order depends on whether or not the United States, the leader of the West, can separate Ukraine from Russia.
Therefore, to maintain the unipolar world order after the Cold War, the United States must `close` to Ukraine.

Danger from Syria
According to experts, Washington should not have planned to carry out a coup in Ukraine in 2014 but rather wait until the presidential election in this country will be held in 2015 when the President
At that time, they will carry out an `orange revolution` to remove Mr. Yanukovich and bring a pro-American figure to power in Kiev.
Since 2011, according to President Barack Obama’s `leading from behind` doctrine, Washington is said to have sparked political upheavals called the `Arab Spring` to gain control of the geopolitical region.
President Obama assessed that the socio-political upheavals called the `Arab Spring` were as important to the United States as the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, which began the disintegration of the social system.
After the US and NATO waged war in Libya and eliminated President Muammar Gaddafi in October 2011, US Senator John McCain stated that the Libyan scenario would repeat in Syria, Iran, and other countries in the air.
After returning to the Kremlin in 2012, President Putin decided to help Syria – Russia’s ally in the Middle East – neutralize the threat from the `Arab Spring`.
Neutralize the threat to Russia before 2022
According to analysts, if Russia fails in Syria, terrorist forces will infiltrate the post-Soviet space to destabilize Russia, even creating a domino reaction that could cause Russia to disintegrate as predicted by Russia.
The extremely complicated developments in Syria are interpreted by President Bashar al-Assad that this country is not a civil war at all but a `miniature world war`.

Including forces from nearly 90 countries, more than the number of countries participating in World War I and World War II.
Therefore, Russia’s role in the fight to defeat terrorism in Syria is as important as the Soviet Union’s role in the fight to defeat fascism in World War II.
Assessing the US role in the war in Syria, former Director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) John Brennan commented: `President Obama’s administration was completely wrong when it said that there was an `Arab Spring`
Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 after a controversial referendum.
Next, Russia, along with France and Germany, co-sponsored the Kiev government and the governments of the two self-proclaimed people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk to sign the Minsk Agreement to peacefully resolve the Ukraine crisis.
The Minsk Agreement has been approved by the United Nations Security Council as the only political solution to end the Ukraine crisis, creating conditions for President Putin to `freeze` this crisis to resolve the conflict.
On September 30, 2015, President Putin launched an anti-terrorism campaign in Syria.
After 2 years of conducting the anti-terrorism campaign in Syria, the Russian Aerospace Forces have carried out more than 30,000 flights, completed more than 92,000 airstrikes, and destroyed 96,000 terrorist targets, including 832 bases.
On that basis, on December 6, 2017, President Putin announced that, basically, international terrorist organizations in Syria had been defeated.
