He learned to play the geopolitical game of the West. He had the apprenticeship in the first decade of the 21st century, after which he learned how the West plays.

From the speech:
"Ukraine is a creation of Vladimir Lenin - he is it's creator and architect (...) . Recently they started taking down statues of him, calling it 'decommunisation'. You want 'decommunisation '? We'll be happy with it, but why stop half way there? We are ready to show you what is a full decommunisation of the Ukraine"

Putin calling the West's bluff?
Why do I hear crickets in the distance?
The independence thing is merely the first step. From what I heard on his speech, he really seems to be ready to go all the way to the end.
Difficult days ahead (for the West)
I do recommend people listen to it.
Then you will understand his intentions.
I flinched when he brought up Ukraine with nuclear weapons. Nations stating they are worried about other's WMDs has a mildly bad reputation at this point.
It does appear so. We will see.
The West? no. This will matter little for them in the end. For Ukrainians, yes.
Probably for two reasons.
1. The rational reason: snap decisions are often bad ones. If a united front is required, it will take all the nations of the West speaking to each other to build that.
2. The West has fallen into the massive trap of chitchat being a real substitute for action. Let's talk about it to find a solution often finds only your own navel to gaze in.
Interestingly, it does mean the West didn't have the sanctions all up and ready like they said. There was no redline here as far as I can see yet. Perhaps tomorrow. Given the chitchat nature of diplomacy in the West, might be in a week. Or never.
Putin is a meme dude but CPC is more competent.
