59 American cruise missiles fired at the airbase in Syria on the orders of US President Donald Trump mean that Putin's foreign policy was covered not even by a copper basin, and by that place, whose name, alas, can not be spoken aloud - but you all know it.

It was covered not only in Syria.

The driving round the rounds around Trump was almost a major foreign policy failure for all the Putin years.

Sanctions from Russia Trump is not going to shoot, on the contrary, if in Syria the case goes on, the United States promises new sanctions to introduce.

The annexation of Crimea neither de jure nor even de facto the new American president is not going to admit, on the contrary, says that the Crimea should be returned to Ukraine.

And it's really very bad - at the first meeting with Trump, the Chinese leader Xi Jinping, seemingly Putin's ally (or in any case Putin and the company seemed so), expresses an understanding of American strikes at the airbase in Syria.

Speaking in a language that for some time has been increasingly used by Russian diplomats, what kind of "kidalovo"! By the way, the worn-out vocabulary regularly used by the Foreign Ministry spokesperson (which is only her recent pearl "otpentagonite and throw", which she tried to eat the US military department) is, to my taste, one of the most vivid evidence of the degradation of Russian diplomacy. Can older people remember the late Speaker of the Foreign Ministry of the late Gennady Gerasimov or, say, Sergei Yastrzhembsky, imagine that they would express themselves in this way?.

And if we talk about who threw whom, then where were there at the time of the American missile attack the vaunted Russian air defense systems? Russian generals recently boasted to the whole world that the S-300 and S-400 covered the airspace over Syria with an impenetrable dome. And where is that dome? Yes, it's just that the Americans, as is known, warned the Russian side in advance of the impending missile strike. And to protect Assad, his Russian patrons did not.

This is now Russia, waving after a fist fistfight, in a joint statement with Iran and Hezbollah says that the US has crossed the "red line", and henceforth it intends to respond to any such actions including "using force".

Something is not believed ... By the way, Russia's joint statement - with Iran and Hezbollah! - Condemning US actions against Syria, with references to international law and an expression of readiness for cooperation in the fight against terrorism in order to ensure stability in the Middle East - it's just beyond the bounds of good and evil.

Russia, which repeatedly violated international law by annexing Crimea and other actions against Ukraine, which now calls for international law, is, indeed, ridiculous.

Russia, which claims that together with Iran and Hezbollah will fight international terrorism for the sake of stability in the Middle East - this is generally difficult to describe in censorship terms. You hear: with Iran - a state that for decades was reasonably suspected and is still suspected of sponsoring terrorist and extremist Islamic movements and organizations around the world! With Hezbollah - a radical Islamic movement, which many states and international organizations have officially recognized as terrorist! For completeness, the picture is missing only North Korea, her God.

Meanwhile - since I remembered about North Korea - the US president declares his determination to resist the nuclear missile ambitions of the DPRK, and the American carrier group is already moving to the shores of the Korean peninsula. Pragmatic Chinese will fight with America for Kim Jong-un? Do you believe that?.

And that the Kremlin can now oppose this?.

And yet another misfortune: the changeable Putin's friend / enemy Erdogan behaves again somehow. We were friends with him. Then they quarreled to the nines. Then they began to make friends again. And now Erdogan that allows himself? Calls on Russia to give up support for Bashar Assad's regime. What, again declare the Turkish president anathema?.

But the main thing: for what it's all done?.

What is the national interest?.

There is really no national interest here. There is only a megalomania of one person who wants to be not only a lifelong president of Russia, but also the ruler of the seas and oceans, in which some Erodogan will be on parcels, and the leaders of the West will be forced to relieve, reluctantly,.

Then Putin came to Syria to shed tears, all forgave him, lifted the sanctions, again took him to the allies, lagged behind him with Ukraine and in general with soldierly frankness told him straight in the eye: "You are a great man, Vladimir Vladimirovich!".

However, all this could happen only in a fictitious world where the evergreen Russian president lives. I repeat: none of the Western leaders crawled to Putin on their knees, in chains and rags, sprinkling their heads with ashes to ask for forgiveness, repent, invite them to negotiate the division of the world into spheres of influence, call back to the G8,. Neither a new Yalta nor a new Potsdam happened.

To exchange interference in Syria for some indulgence on the part of the West on Ukrainian affairs also did not work out.

Living in a fictitious world did not appreciate the full promise of Donald Trump "to make America great again". But the greatness of America before consisted also in the fact that it was ready, if necessary, to act decisively in the international arena. Including - with the use of force - in the role of defender of countries and peoples threatened by aggressive neighbors and their own cruel and inhuman rulers. With "peacekeeper" Obama, this component of American greatness, frankly, was lost.

Yes, someone will try to call America a world policeman in a pejorative way.

This is so - the world policeman. And I personally do not see anything wrong with this. A policeman can, and must, twist and put handcuffs on a disengaged criminal. And bring him to court.

And if the perpetrator really threatens the lives of civilians, defenseless women, children, old people - then open fire to defeat, without trial and effect.

It seems to me that this role is much more worthy than the role of the world hooligan from the St. Petersburg gate with a nuclear sharpening in his pocket.
