Recognition of the US president that he really shared secret information with Russia, revealed a problem that exists "for a while"; In response to Trump's frankness, the Kremlin can also go on to issue a number of its own secrets to the United States.
This opinion was expressed to the "Observer" by the Russian military expert and journalist Alexander Golts.
"The problem that the story revealed with the conversation between Trump and Lavrov is a problem that already exists for a while," he said.. According to him, "because of this problem, the US-Russia military cooperation in September of 2016 in Syria did not take place. When the agreement on military cooperation was signed, the Pentagon quite rightly said: you can not restrain Russia in Europe and cooperate with it in Syria. Because it is impossible to consider the country as a potential enemy in one part of the world and share military secrets with it in another ".
"But, as we see, Trump, by virtue of his natural qualities, decided to bypass this contradiction," the expert stated..
At the same time he added: "We do not know what exactly Trump shared, because in fact, then in September 2016, the Pentagon's main danger was seen in the exchange of intelligence information in real time, when it is impossible to filter this information so that those, To whom you give it, could not find out for themselves something more than specific coordinates of goals and so on ".
How can such frankness threaten the United States and other states? - asked the "Observer". "Until we know what kind of information he shared, we can not decide what it's threatening," Golts said..
"Can the Kremlin respond with frankness to frankness?" - inquired the "Observer". "It is possible that yes", - confirmed the expert. And he added:
"Actually, the entire Syrian history was created in order to force the West to cooperate. To get out of the isolation that came as a result of the Ukrainian crisis. And I think that here the Kremlin will not stand at the price ".
As the "Observer" wrote, in response to accusations of issuing secret information to Russia, US President Donald Trump said that he has every right to do so.
