Recently, US President Trump wrote on Twitter: "Good relations with Russia are good, not bad". He also said that "Russia can be of great assistance" in solving problems related to North Korea, Syria, Ukraine and terrorism. "Theoretically, this is true," - commented the newspaper The Washington Post. However, the newspaper believes, President Putin "promises to cooperate, but in practice he tries to put the sticks in the wheel of the United States, demoralize and split Western democracies".

In the opinion of the publication, the new Russian-American agreement on Syria, about which the US State Department announced last Saturday, is the same as the agreements that Secretary of State Kerry signed with Russia with Obama's presidency. This transaction is "so beautiful that it can not even be believed", and, most likely, one does not believe in it reasonably.

The publication notes: "American officials believe that they have certain levers:

Western and Arab countries refuse to provide funds for the restoration of Syria, while the process of appeasement under the aegis of the United Nations will not move from the dead center. Putin should also consider the risk: if not to stop Iran from getting entrenched in Syria, there will be an impetus for a potentially devastating war between the indirect forces of Iran and Israel. Still, Secretary of State Tillerson should avoid Trump's stupid mistake: do not assume that Putin "says what he thinks" when he assures in an unrealizable ".
