"Will he sign or not sign?" - they guessed in Moscow and Washington. "How can he sign his own surrender? - they were boiling alone. "After all, with this signature, President Trump will give up his legitimate powers and become a" lame duck "for the eighth month of his presidency!" "Where can he go? Insisted others. "It's impossible to argue against the whole congress." As the water looked into the water. Trump winced a little, but signed a law on sanctions. And Tillerson wrote that all this is done only in the name and for the sake of friendship with Russia. This only brings to mind the "Game of Thrones". Now I will explain why. Prime Minister Mr. Medvedev in four paragraphs clearly described the situation: 1) Russia declared a full-fledged trade war; 2) Trump's administration demonstrated complete impotence; 3) new sanctions - for years and decades, and the hope of improving our relations with the new US administration is the end; 4) Russia is still sdyuzhit.
The Prime Minister is a realist, he is not inclined to panic, and he has the resolve to spare. It was he, when he was his commander-in-chief, contrary to public opinion, in spite of the cries from Washington on August 8, 2008, moved the Russian troops to the Caucasus ridge and defeated the daring Georgians. But he is not inclined to confrontation either. So listen to his opinion is necessary. But to despair and lose heart early. Yet the main opposition of our time is not the US - Russia, but the President - the Establishment. There, in Washington, America's future is being decided, and hence the future of sanctions. And the dispute in Washington is not over yet. Trump was defeated in battle, but not in war. As if to Prime Minister Medvedev, President Trump yesterday (on Thursday) said: "Our relations with Russia have reached an extremely dangerous, previously unprecedented level. Tell me thank you for the congress! "Blank words? I do not think so. "Blame not Congress, but Putin," advised Trumpp, Russia's most vicious enemy, Senator McCain. But Trump did not heed him.
I'm not saying that Trump behaved correctly. Many mistakes were made by President Trump for a short period of eight months. Home - the staff. Cadres decide everything, and the staff at Trump, who came from outside, was not. Therefore, he appointed to key posts people who strove to hit him with a knife in the back immediately when they were assigned, without even sitting down. In vain he was reconciled before the time with McCain, when he came to Trump with a guilty head to ask for forgiveness and swear allegiance. McCain does not know what loyalty is: he betrayed his comrades-in-arms, leaving them in Vietnamese captivity. To betray the president for him is not at all a question. Trump was betrayed and the Attorney General, and the head of the FBI, and many others. But the president is still holding on. And I do not believe that the conflict in Washington is just a trick to lead the Russians, as my colleague Limonov asserts. After all, the conflict between the President and the Parliament is also a conflict of certain circles. In the US congress (in both factions), supporters of the shadow government are dominant, it is also a deep state, it is also the "world behind the scenes" of conspiracy theorists or the Discourse Masters. Behind them are virtual manufacturers, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, the media, the Federal Reserve and special services.
They are opposed by President Trump, as a representative of the American manufacturers of physical values, the real sector. The people of Trump did not throw out the white flag and did not intend to throw it away: they believe that tomorrow belongs to them. This is a serious dispute - American industrialists and people in the real sector understand that virtualists do not need them. They do not need the American people either. Realists have very serious positions, although they are opposed by the entire virtual world. The dispute goes beyond the borders of the United States. He divided the elites of Europe and the Third World. We often perceive it as a dispute between liberal globalists and nationalists. Both camps require loyalty. Knock your knee or in front of Sersee, or in front of Deyneris. And between them there is a war. For now - trade war.
Here is one example. The Swedish elite is almost entirely on the side of globalists, "the world behind the scenes," conditionally speaking, on the side of Clinton. This turned out to be unprofitable - the largest based in Sweden TNK Ericsson (Ericsson) suffered significant damage over the past year in the US market. American manufacturers are at war with it not because it is foreign, but because its representatives are personally associated with the camp of liberal globalists. This dispute cost the company "Erickson" in many millions of dollars of loss. Where is Russia in this game? Russia is not a totalitarian country, and Russia has different camps. At the level of emotions and sympathies, supporters of President Putin tend to the Trump camp, nationalists, producers. But it would be strange if modern Russia, rebelling from the ruins in the years of the Clintons - Bush, would not have people tied to an international liberal camp. The peculiarity of Russia is that globalists do not dominate it, but in general they get on peacefully with Russian tramp drivers. With all the sympathy for Trump, Russia and its cautious president Putin are not going to jump ahead of the father in the heat and raise the banner of struggle with the financial liberals-virtualists. On the contrary, Putin is trying to sit out this phase of the conflict, and if this does not work out, it is not through Russia's fault.
The impatient call on Putin to remove the liberal bloc of the government, arguing that this is exactly what President Trump and Chairman C want. Like, Russia without liberals will immediately become a beloved sister and will take a key place in the necklace of a new paradigm. And although the example of the Swedish company "Erikson" does indicate that the confrontation is taking place, yet its completion is not yet obvious. President Putin feels responsible for Russia. He is a practician, a pragmatist, and not an ideologist. He is leading the ship "Russia" in a confrontation not only between the West and Russia, but also inside the western camp. Therefore, he is not in a hurry to fit into one of the camps of the west. He is not for Serse and not for Deyneris. The trade war against Russia may be exacerbated, but the countries of Europe will be involved in this war. Germany and France are annoyed by the US demand to buy their expensive fuel instead of cheap Russian. Conflict within the American elite compels European statesmen to become more independent, and they have become unaccustomed to independence. It is difficult for them - how difficult it was for the Soviet Union republics to rise to their feet after the independence imposed on them in 1991.
This does not mean that they need to give a discount. On the contrary. Sometimes a blow to the sousal is more useful than a long conversation. Expulsion of American diplomats - twenty times more than expelled Russian diplomats - exemplary step. They say they waited six months for an answer, but they turned on the meter, and the interest grew. Unpredictability is a big and important trump card in the hands of Russia. At any step of the enemy you can find an answer - and tenfold. On the decisions of American courts, the Moscow Shemyakin court will be able to decide more. If the US wants to invade Venezuela or the DPRK, Russia can bring democracy to Ukraine and to Lithuania. To freeze the assets of the Russian Federation - to respond to the confiscation of property of American TNCs, and there are a lot of it in Russia. And, finally, the launch of their missiles - the launch of Russian missiles. For a moment, we should not doubt in Washington that Russia will not be afraid. The inevitability of retribution has not been canceled yet. But do not rush to the Last Judgment. And if the responsible forces win in Washington, if Trump manages to consolidate his supporters, then this dangerous time will be over to everyone's satisfaction. In the meantime, the situation is unpredictable. America is now in such a state of dissonance that it is impossible to predict what it will do today, especially tomorrow. The US is like a huge truck, where two drivers tear the steering wheel in different directions. Therefore, some expectancy, which is already inherent in President Putin, seems to be fully justified.
The time is very difficult. But when was it simple?
