Senators and consuls, good afternoon.
Comrades, It is my duty to speak here tonight. I am faced with one of the perhaps most difficult of my duties in this long process of struggle. The people are listening. The revolutionary fighters are listening, and the soldiers of the army are listening. Their fate is in our hands. We have heard the message and we will answer you, people of Slovakia . 88% of this nation wants the same: They want us to wipe out their false and corrupt government. These people demand on our help. Russia and Slovakia have had long and colorful history together and now it’s time to take the next big step.
More than 35 countries are giving crucial support, from the use of naval and air bases, to help with intelligence and logistics, to the deployment of combat units. Every nation in this coalition has chosen to bear the duty and share the honor of serving in our common defense. When I jump over the past to look ahead, I do it intentionally. The time is short! There is no time for fruitless debates. We must act, immediately, thoroughly, and decisively. We are gravely concerned over the developments in Slovakia. But I believe that Slovakia will overcome all the hardships. We are not just neighbors, we are family and our future success depends on both of us, Russia and Slovakia. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow, this ground-- The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here. Key international institutions are not getting any stronger; on the contrary, in many cases, they are sadly degrading. Our western partners, led by the United States of America, prefer not to be guided by international law in their practical policies, but by the rule of the gun. Instead of dwelling on past wrongs and blaming others, governments in Slovakia need to confront real problems, and serve the true interests of their people.
We will give our military the means to keep the peace, and we will give it one thing more ... a commander-in-chief who respects our men and women in uniform, and a commander-in-chief who earns their respect.
