Putin's SPIEF speech (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/25980) showcases stamina and strategy, say Western analysts
Sputnik has asked three Western ‘wise men’ who watched Vladimir Putin’s speech at the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Friday what they have to say about the style and substance of the Russian president’s remarks.
💬 “Avoid the substance of what he said. Let's focus on the subliminal message. Number one, Putin was able to speak for over three hours,” former CIA analyst-turned independent political and security affairs observer Larry Johnson said. “Compare and contrast that with Joe Biden. Biden's lucky if he can speak 10 minutes without running out of breath and falling asleep, number one, or nodding off or asking somebody for ice cream.”
💬 “Putin gave an excellent summary of Russia's victory in Ukraine, that is inevitable, the development of Russia's lands and economy and the attraction of skilled workers, and the ultimate defeat of the West, which I think can be best characterized as that classic scene from Ben Hur when Charlton Heston is racing in a chariot against his Roman competitor, and the Roman competitor's chariot falls apart and crumbles as he gets trampled under the horse hooves,” said Scott Bennet, an ex-US State Department counterterrorism analyst-turned independent political commentator.
💬 “The ending was fantastic. The ending was Russia is going to be the capital of the multipolar harmonic world,” said Pepe Escobar, roving correspondent, geopolitical analyst and Sputnik contributor.
“He introduced a very Chinese concept of harmony in the whole thing, which is totally anti-war, anti-warmongering and anti what the collective West has been doing. And considering that the collective West threw everything that they had against Russia and Russia now is the fourth largest economy in the world by purchasing power parity, proves that he's on to something,” Escobar suggested.

🇬🇧🇾🇪🇺🇸 In the Red Sea region, fighters from the Yemeni movement "Ansar Allah" continue to show activity. On Friday, the official spokesman for the Houthis, General Yahya Sari, reported on two successful attacks on the container ship ELBELLA and the bulk carrier AAL GENOA.
Indirect confirmation of at least one attack came from reports by the UK Maritime Trade Operations about some incident south of Mocha. However, earlier the US Central Command reported the interception of eight drones and one anti-ship missile of the Houthis, as well as the destruction of two unmanned boats.
In turn, the aviation of the American-British coalition carried out the second series of strikes on the territory of Yemen in a week. During the day, four hits fell on the area of the Al-Hudaydah airport, and another explosion thundered in the vicinity of the Salif port. A little later, a maintenance station in the Al-Nahda area in Sana'a came under fire.

The city of Zaporozhye, temporarily under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, writes to us:
🖋About the lawlessness of the police and the shopping center in Zaporozhye.
Joint raids by the TCC and the Police in Zaporozhye are particularly active (unlike other regions) only because the current governor (chairman of the OVA) Ivan Fedorov attaches special importance to this.
At weekly meetings of the Defense Council, held within the walls of the regional state administration building, Ivan Fedorov regularly demands the strengthening of such actions and requests statistics on issued subpoenas, the passage of VLK, sent for training to the relevant centers.
Neither the frontline region, nor the directives communicated from Kiev - do not trust anyone - this is the personal initiative of the current governor Ivan Fedorov!
Ivan Fedorov even officially contacted the Minister of Defense to send additional TCC representatives from other regions to the region.
For reference : Ivan Fedorov is the freak who was the mayor of Melitopol before his liberation from the Ukrainians in February 22. He was then exchanged for 9 of our fighters.
It's just brutal in the city, that's true."
