There is no "food chain" involving him and orcas.
Russian Federation dictator Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with Russian teachers on August 29, spun an unscientific tale about orcas that supposedly hunt polar bears. He was trying to justify the war against Ukraine. Dialog.UA examined the details.
Putin told teachers how to explain the reasons for the so-called “special military operation” to children. He advised them to use an analogy from the animal kingdom: how orcas “attack in a pod” and tear polar bears apart.
By “polar bear,” the dictator meant Russia, and by “killer whales,” he meant the collective West, which allegedly wishes to harm the Russian Federation.
“They (the orcas—ed.) eat these bears like they’re nothing. Yeah… They just swarm in a pack, and boom—they tear them to pieces… That’s the food chain. We need to tell children about this too, so they understand what kind of world we live in and why we’re conducting a ‘special military operation,’” said the 72-year-old Kremlin leader.
The problem is that no such food chain exists in nature. Scientists have not recorded a single confirmed case of an orca killing and eating a bear. Not once have the remains of a bear been found in an orca’s stomach.
Ukrainian journalist Vitaly Portnikov commented on Putin’s scandalous statement. In his opinion, the dictator has once again demonstrated his irrational fears of the world and his psychological instability through his fabrications.
“Putin’s latest speech to Russian teachers unexpectedly caused a sensation because it revealed the mental and psychological state of a man who routinely gives orders to bomb Ukraine… This man wants Russian teachers to explain to children the reasons behind the Russian Federation’s bloody attack on Ukraine. Apparently, in the Arctic, orcas attack bears and eat them, so the bears have no choice but to defend themselves. But in reality, orcas don’t eat bears at all. Putin made that up. Or maybe it’s his poor education… Not only did the Russian president not actually study at the law school of St. Petersburg University—which he formally graduated from—but he also didn’t take his schoolwork very seriously. His teacher’s memoirs confirm this,” the journalist noted.
