Analyse af Arnold Schwarzeneggers tale 'This is an illegal war'

The war between Ukraine and Russia is roaring and the Russian population has been led behind the light. Former to times governor, and actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger's speech “This is an illegal war” in 2022 discusses this exact theme and tries to appeal to the population in Russia. Through his use of his childhood memories and love for Russia, he discusses the importance of knowing the consequences of this war and tries to make them realize that they are not told the truth about the invasion of Ukraine. He talks directly to the Russian people through social media and criticizes the Russian government, which he means is holding the population back. He addresses the bravery and endurance the Russians hold for their friends and family but also the soldiers who are being sacrificed without knowing it.

Analytical essay

Around the world, some people are living in the middle of war zones. People with power are fighting for religion, politics, or authority. Even though many are aware of the issue, people tend to close their eyes and concentrate on living in denial of the problems. Maybe because they seem too far away or because they live in a country that is not involved in the war. Arnold Schwarzenegger lives in the USA and even though that is far away from Russia or Ukraine, his speech “This is an illegal war” from 2022 discusses the war and he brings up the innocent people trapped in constant chaos and fear for their lives.
