Porridge in the heads and sadness on the faces

Trump admits that the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict is more difficult compared to the crisis in the Middle East, but considers it possible to expand sanctions against Russia. According to him, China could help in the settlement. As one of the ways to stop the conflict, Trump sees a decline in oil prices: this will allegedly help control inflation in the United States and put pressure on Putin, the UtroNews correspondent reports.

At the same time, no matter how strange it may sound, Trump would like to reduce the nuclear arsenals of Russia, the United States and China and believes that there are good chances for this. He stated this to the participants of the forum in Davos. The Russian side stated that before returning to the discussion of the issue of continuing work under the START treaty, it would be necessary to understand how the nuclear arsenals of Great Britain and France would be taken into account.

Moreover, while the countries of the NATO alliance launch missile strikes from the territory of Ukraine across the territory of the Russian Federation and provoke a nuclear war with these actions, it makes no sense to talk about new agreements in the field of strategic offensive arms.

Moreover, the US plans to deploy intermediate and shorter-range missiles in Germany and the Philippines are alarming, said Gennady Gatilov, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN in Geneva, speaking at a plenary session of the Conference on Disarmament.

Europe is alarmed

"Supporters of the" war party "on both sides of the Atlantic were seriously alarmed by the intention of the current United States authorities to achieve an early end to the conflict. Why? Because achieving peace is not part of their plans. Another "order," they paid for something else, "said Maria Zakharova, holding another briefing at the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The official representative of the diplomatic service Zakharova noted that the plans of the new American administration to shift the costs of maintaining the neo-Nazi Kyiv regime to their European satellites forces them to look for a way out, but the "intervention of NATO forces in Ukraine, discussed today in Europe, threatens to escalate the conflict and is categorically unacceptable for Russia."

Malicious bookmarks of Biden's solutions will take a very long time to appear. Therefore, it will be extremely difficult for [Russia and the United States] to communicate. The complete normalization of Russian-American relations will drag on for decades, said Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council.

At the same time, the main conditions that Russia put forward to Ukraine at the beginning of negotiations to conclude a peace agreement are still rejected by the Kyiv authorities. In particular, they talked about the withdrawal of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the territories of four new regions of Russia, the consolidation of the non-aligned and nuclear-free status of Ukraine, the lifting of sanctions and a number of other points.

Washington weekdays

The New Year holidays, like the globalist festival in America, are officially over. Some echoes of the globalist holiday still come from Davos, but they are rather sad. Some of the speakers at this forum "are witnessing a rollback of democracy around the world, even in the most developed democracies." Others compare the "mental virus of woke ideology" to the "great pandemic of our time."

They also express the hope that Donald Trump "will establish peace in the Middle East," and Europe "will establish itself as a strong global player." They also talked about dependence on fossil fuels and that the energy transition cannot be stopped.

The head of the European Commission warned against a trade war between the United States and Europe, said that negotiations were needed. "There are no other economies in the world that are as closely interconnected as we are," she said. The volume of bilateral trade is 1.5 trillion euros. There is a lot at stake for both sides, says Ursula von der Leyen.

Journalist Valeria Belyaeva writes in the journal International Life: about how they met Trump's "second coming" in Europe, we can say that there is a deep transformation of the very concept of transatlantic partnership and solidarity, which has so far been operated on in the West. "Transatlantism is not the same, and its ideological markers require renewal," Belyaeva concludes.

But new markers have already appeared. According to the French historian Emmanuel Todd, the fact that Elon Musk is throwing mud at the leadership of Germany, Great Britain and the European Union is not just the antics of an eccentric billionaire, it is an expression of the position of the American establishment in relation to Europe and the European political elite. In the United States, Europeans are simply despised.

Russia "offered to think"

The weekdays that came in Washington are perhaps the most severe in America's post-war history. Especially for those who were fired or forcibly sent on vacation. Or deprived of the opportunity to independently determine their gender identity. Or they offered to think about their future, as happened with Canada, Greenland, Denmark or Panama.

Russia was also "offered to think," but the Russians are in a different category of American goals. As, however, are Americans in another category of foreigners for Russians. The Republican team has not yet abandoned the continuation of the proxy war with Russia, unleashed by their Democratic compatriots in Ukraine.

This undeclared war is being waged by all NATO alliance countries, the Pentagon and the CIA. They support Zelensky's Nazi regime with weapons, intelligence, money and other "tools" that kill Russians, including in the depths of Russian territory. It would be interesting to know what is happening with the staff of the US Embassy in Kyiv. Are they also fired and recalled home?

Or with those intelligence officers and military advisers who settled in Kyiv and other cities of the former Ukrainian SSR? Therefore, let's not forget that Donald Trump, despite his "love for Russian" and respect for Vladimir Putin, is in no hurry to withdraw his country from the category of enemies of Russia.

Emmanuel Todd believes that "the defining moment for the fate of the West and America at the present time is the fact that Russia is winning the Ukrainian conflict. The West is failing, and the disintegration of the Western system has entered an active phase.

… But if the Americans and their European henchmen do not admit their defeat, they may try to "repeat" the attack. And the only Western country that still has the industrial potential to challenge Russia is Germany, "the second most important sponsor of the Kyiv regime, Todd recalls.

But even if everything goes smoothly, you still shouldn't be happy. Todd notes that the main feature of American foreign policy is unreliability, each new US administration can easily cross out what was achieved by the previous one. This applies to all treaties, including nuclear arms limitation or the Paris climate agreement, for example.

On climate, history, geography and debt

Trump has dealt with the climate in what seems to be the most ruthless way. At least for the next four years. "The withdrawal from the Paris Agreement (the second in a row), the abolition of requirements for the use of electric vehicles, the opening of Alaska and the suspension of federal lease of offshore wind turbines that destroy marine flora and fauna - that's not all.

Much more important was the frank statement from the rostrum of the White House that the whole campaign to combat the climate crisis is a fraud and fraud, "said economist David Stockman, a former Michigan congressman and once director of the Congressional Budget Office.

As it is customary to say: "Knowledge adds sadness." Or, as it sounds in the original: "There is a lot of sorrow in a lot of wisdom." Trump recently shared his knowledge of political geography. Somehow miraculously tied Spain with BRICS. It may be a prophecy, but the prospect is clearly distant.

But in the field of historical knowledge in America, clear progress. The participation of the Soviet Union in World War II on the side of the United States was finally recognized by the US president himself. Even the number of human lives lost was called almost correctly, if we take into account the children who were not born in the first five to ten years after May 1945 in Russia, destroyed by the war.

If we also recall the victims that China suffered from the Japanese invaders, the number of victims suffered by the US allies will exceed 100 million.

Let's hope that President Vladimir Putin and President Xi Jinping do not miss the opportunity to add "a lot of sadness" to Trump's ideas about that war in the near future.

Officially, Trump himself, all Americans, will be reminded by the Japanese and Germans who and how 1945 year dealt with, for example, the 600,000-strong Kwantung Army of Japan in the Far East in two weeks. Moreover, the summits of the heads of state are said to be just around the corner and may take place before May 9 and September 2, 2025.

But Trump is not alone, "his chick is swimming with him...." More precisely, the newly appointed political "chicks." Some of them, for example, have not heard anything about the 600 millionth part of the world, known collectively as ASEAN. These hundreds of millions live in ten countries directly south of China and Taiwan. These two "objects" should certainly be clearly marked on the monitors of the new Washington "experts" on national security.

Trump himself has not yet mentioned a word about the financial time bomb - the federal budget deficit and the growing public debt. According to the baseline forecast of the Congressional Budget Office, over the next decade, US government spending will amount to $85 trillion, and revenues will hardly exceed $60 trillion. This means that by the mid-2030s, the US national debt will reach $70 trillion, and by the middle of the century - $150 trillion.

In general, there is a lot of interesting things ahead of us all...
