A good ambition - to try to negotiate with the US is closer than ever.

It is obvious that Putin is interested in this until he trembles. Months to seek not to meet, but at least telephone conversation, to announce a routine conversation a few days before him ... Why so, what does he really need?.

Globally, one goal is to preserve power.

From the Kremlin's point of view, this problem can be solved by solving only two problems:.

Economy.

Path A. The restoration of business, the fight against corruption, the full inclusion in the international financial system, as before - a long and fraught with various dangers the way. The "effectiveness" of state corporations has been tested in practice - they can not create anything other than storage pits. Again, there will be oligarchs, with whom we must agree? New Khodorkovsky?.

And most importantly - the comfortable convenient scheme of the "power vertical" collapses - complete controllability. Get resources if you deserve it..

Path B. Oil at least 65 dollars. We'll do the rest ourselves. Four years - then we'll figure something out.

Sanctions and Political Isolation. It's a shame. Everyone understands that this is pure symbolism. And who needs these conversations about "comprehensive sanctions"? And a beautiful solution is - Big negotiations and signing of an agreement. It is possible in Reykjavik. And we have something to offer. Do you want Syria, Crimea, East of Ukraine? You are welcome. Free add Abkhazia and South Ossetia. But we must do everything humanly, with full respect. Everybody will benefit. Image of peacekeepers. New world. From the Nobel Prize still have to fight back.

What does Trump need?.

Nothing. Nothing.

The American administration views Russia not as an enemy, but as a factor hindering the solution of problems. Like mosquitoes in the taiga. Very unpleasant, but not catastrophic.

It has long been no secret that the relationship with Assad and the Islamic State, which is banned in Russia. And with any other terrorist organizations and terrorist regimes that are supplied with weapons that are being pushed to oppose the US and its allies.

Russia wants to be called a pole in the bipolar world? Yes please. But this is for a fee - North Korea.

One small problem. How to negotiate with Putin, who does not observe any agreements?.
