Donald Trump's decision to cancel a meeting with Vladimir Putin in Budapest, as well as the introduction of large-scale sanctions against Russian oil giants, may have surprised those who all this time sincerely believed that Trump was deliberately playing along with Putin, or even being a Kremlin agent. And no less than those who consistently spoke about Trump’s obvious sympathies for authoritarian leaders. Yes, these sympathies really exist - but they do not exclude the possibility of confrontation, writes Vitaly Portnikov for Slawa. tv.

The following is the text in the original language. This is a legacy of our powerful statement about politics, which for a long time does not correspond to reality. We are forced to compose those things that in reality have become borderline forgivable. Or more precisely, it has ceased to be politics in the classical sense.

Today’s leaders no longer adhere to their positions to the “old rules”. Nafpaki - to be angry at the fact that they broke the rules. The stench comes not from politicians, but from participants in reality shows, business or real estate.. Ukrainians, who elected Volodymyr Zelensky as president in 2019, did not require any further explanation of this obvious fact..

We often forget that Zelensky’s uncontested triumph occurred after Trump was elected president of the United States - due to the collapse of political rules. And it would have been obvious that Trump, after returning to the Oval Office, would want to turn back to them. Moreover, he still says with pride: the police rely not on intelligence, but on intuition.

So, Putin may well like Trump.

In truth, there is a great prospect for the development of economic ties between Russia and the United States - in the eyes of a businessman, which is the sound of changing the world by categories of profit. But at the same time, Trump is wonderfully smart: to implement this equipment, you need to want to put a stop to the fire on the Russian-Ukrainian front. It is not obligatory to end the war - it seems that Trump himself has realized that real peace in Ukraine and at the Close Gathering is still far away. Ale - take a break. Dates for dismissal I would like to receive part of the sanction. And let Rozmov talk about great industrial economic projects. Kiril Dmitriev and Stiv Vitkoff talked about this for a long time - in an atmosphere more akin to a presentation of a new business, less like a diplomatic exchange.

This is Trump's basic plan: shut down the fire, open the doors until changes are made, lay down the right place. Ale Putin was inspired from the first day. And Trump is stuck, having re-converted. Because of this ease, because of the evidence, the realtor tries to convey to the client that the apartment itself is ideal. And finally, if the buyer is not satisfied with the happiness, you can explain that in the apartment where children live together, the winter may not be either scorched or hot water.

Trump himself was afraid if he threatened Putin with the supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine or with new sanctions. And if Putin telephoned you after such words, Trump perceived this as a signal: the client is ready to please. It seemed like there was a threat. It turned out to be an illusion. And now a real tool comes into play - sanctions, which, according to the realtor’s logic, can turn off everything that was still working at the “old apartment”.

Trump himself immediately speaks out: his proposal is still off the table. If you are ready to agree with Putin even if you want tomorrow, you will not be in danger of starting a fire along the line of contact. This will be the first step to the real world, to the new great equipment.

What is the problem with this dialogue in another?. Putin never perceived Trump as a realtor. We learn from no one not a businessman with intuition, but an unheard-of, aka, child. Such as can be calmed down with a cheerful tone, frills and chergovoy “even with a pink rose”. Putin’s goal is not to please, but to avoid new sanctions and withhold further military aid from Ukraine. And now, as the pressure grows, the telephone will ring or call a special representative, as soon as possible in Alaska. It invokes the old Chekist instinct.

And to be honest, what did Putin become, not a KDB operative For someone else, Trump is a client who can be “recruited” with words. Without any hope, the words are gone. For such reasons, KDB operatives forged their clothes?

The first axis is now possible to complete the wonderful growth of the realtor with the security officer, who has so richly captured two confirmed politicians as a checker’s party. As Trump himself said, “the hour has come”. We understand that Putin will not buy apartments.

So now we are in tenth. Onslaught. And Putin will take advantage of the spoils - between spoiling and even spoiling.

And, in order to stream Trump, Putin now needs to either take real action - to stop the fire in Ukraine - or else lead the way to escalation. This escalation could escalate into a great European war. Kozhen with options - unviable for the Kremlin. But Putin’s verbal game has led him to this dilemma.

And it’s not at all a fact that the fire is at risk.
