In reply to the discussion: Schwarzenegger's anti-war video trends on Russian social media [View all]FrankTC
(230 posts)9. Appeals to Russians' Strength
I wonder if Arnold wrote the script himself? Delivery was awesome, as you might expect, but the script was superb. Through recollections of his encounters with a Russian bodybuilder who was at one point the world's strongest man, Arnold emphasized that Russia is strong enough to not need to conquer Ukraine. He did not criticize Russians or raise the issue of collective guilt -- even Putin is not denigrated -- just, noted to be able to stop the war that he started.
