Of all people, temporarily disgraced Arnold Schwarzenegger steps up to the plate and hits a persuasion grand slam.

1) He lays out his love for the Russian people
2) He contrasts his father's Nazi hate for Russians, post-Stalingrad, and his father's "broken-ness"
3) He defies his fathers bigotry, and displays his continuous love for his Russian pals.

Arnold then lays out "his" truth, for which there is near-universal agreement, and aims his message right at Russians and the Ukrainian people. The whole thing mocks Putin without directly mocking Putin. An example of near-perfect persuasion, per @ScottAdamsSays
