Trump against the elites of the Old World?

The world will have to follow exactly what methods the elected US President Donald Trump will try to make "America even greater," said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference on the results of Russian diplomacy in 2024.

He advised the outgoing US President Joe Biden to "just sit out" and not slam the door. "Now the Biden administration,... [wants] to finally screw up the next administration, as Barack Obama did three weeks before [the first] inauguration of Donald Trump, "Lavrov stated.

At least "ethically, based on human decency," the minister added with hope, indicating that most Americans want to see America different.

Reached the bottom, but together with Europe

But some European elites don't want to see America different and are (were) anti-Trump. In particular, these are the current leaders of the states of old Europe, including Britain, as well as a number of eastern neighbors of the Russian Federation and Belarus, not to mention the very bureaucratic core of the European Union.

US foreign policy over the past four years has reached its lowest point in the history of the country, Trump said: "If we are studying what has happened over the past four years, then I think this was the lowest point in US history. It was very bad, "he told Newsmax.

The word "studying" may have taken a key place here. In the conflict between the United States and Russia on the territory of Ukraine, Biden had allies, namely all the countries of the European Union and those that are simply part of the NATO alliance. Biden was very proud of this "union of democracies." Europe, with his support, also boasted of its "revanchist spirit," sparing no weapons and money for Kyiv, and at the same time "Northern Flows" and natural gas from Russia for its own needs.

Whether Trump needs this Russophobic Europe, we do not know. But it seems that his team is not satisfied with the "pro-Biden elites" in European countries. Hence the attacks of Elon Musk on the leaders of Great Britain and Germany. It is also known that Trump did not send the head of the European Commission an invitation to his inauguration, which Brussels called "normal."

This seems to be the essence of what is happening in the last days and weeks preceding the change of supreme executive power in Washington. There is, if not a fight, then a serious scuffle between Trump supporters and those who disagree with the upcoming (expected) changes and cast their vote.

"The Farid Factor"

In particular, the most experienced "media sniper" of liberal America, Fareed Zakaria, took the gun of the elected US president, claiming that Trump's "Canadian-Greenland imperialism" plays into the hands of Russia, and also China! It makes them great again!

Zakaria said bluntly: "At a press conference, Trump offered to get rid of the" artificially drawn line "between Canada and the United States. President Vladimir Putin is talking about the border between Russia and Ukraine. And President Xi Jinping is about the demarcation line between China and Taiwan. This is the kind of world that makes Russia and China great again, "concluded CNN's lead commentator.

You need to be able to turn like that! Zakaria wants to sound "centrist," but his support for Barack Obama in the past and all the work at CNN tells a different story. In December last year, he "convicted Russia of weakness" in connection with the fall of the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. For clarity, he showed a convoy of Soviet troops leaving Afghanistan in 1989, and at the same time a photo of the collective farm market of about the same years.

His conclusion: Russia is similar to the USSR of the 80s, the SVO added difficulties, this is not the time to ease the pressure on Moscow!

In the same 2024, Zakaria "nailed" his colleague Tucker Carlson for his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin and impressions of the architecture of Moscow. Zakaria's conclusion: The metro in Moscow, the capital of Russia itself, as well as Singapore and Abu Dhabi, which Carlson spoke about, are products of authoritarianism, and cities in the United States are "democratic" and better.

Everything is just beginning

In general, he is still a manipulator. Both the first and second 5-minute videos use technology beyond the compressed use of television time for a focused verbal attack on the enemy. Whiplash, like a shot, in both cases he fired at both Trump and Russia.

In June 2008, CNN premiered his weekly show, "Fareed Zakaria GPS." Since then, the show has aired twice a week in the United States and four times a week on CNN International, with more than 200 million viewers.

In Russia, Zakaria was remembered for interviewing Dmitry Medvedev in 2009, pestering him with questions about plans to be elected for a second term in 2012.

In 2016, Zakaria was invited to Russia as the leading plenary meeting of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Putin "is a fearless debater, very smart and well prepared, confident, power emanates from him," a guest from the United States said at the time. "He has a special view of history, in the center of which Russia," the guest admitted.

Fareed Zakaria is just one of the fighters of the squad of numerous high-profile and influential opponents who are on the side of the "deep state" and are waiting for a chance to settle scores with Trump after January 20.

Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, who previously charged Donald Trump with an illegal desire to stay in power after losing the election in 2020, published a final report on the results of his work. The report says the evidence gathered is enough to convict Trump, but his election victory makes prosecution impossible.

Trump's lawyers, who were shown a draft of Smith's report before its release, called it "an attempted contract political assassination with the sole purpose of disrupting the transition process of transferring presidential power," The New York Times reported.

What's next?

"For the Biden administration, Ukraine was an absolute priority. Clearly, the relationship between Trump and Biden is antagonistic. Therefore, Ukraine will not be among Trump's priorities. He is more worried about China, "said Nikolai Patrushev, Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation and Permanent Member of the Security Council, in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.

"If we talk about specific prospects for further developments, taking into account the Trump factor, we respect his statements. I believe that negotiations on Ukraine should be conducted between Russia and the United States without the participation of other Western countries.

There is nothing to talk about with any London and Brussels. The EU leadership, for example, has long been no longer entitled to speak on behalf of many of its members, such as Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Romania and some other European countries interested in stability in Europe and taking a balanced position towards Russia, "concluded Patrushev, adding that" it is possible that in the coming year Ukraine will cease to exist altogether. "

"It is especially worrying that violent coercion to neo-Nazi ideology and ardent Russophobia are destroying the once prosperous cities of Ukraine, including Kharkov, Odessa, Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk," he stressed.

"The main priority for us is the protection and well-being of our citizens and compatriots around the world. If we talk about the international aspect, then discrimination against the Russian population in a number of countries should be stopped, and of course, in the Baltic states and Moldova.... Therefore, Chisinau does not need to deceive either itself or its people. The Moldovan authorities should not look for enemies within the country or in Transnistria, but admit their mistakes and begin to correct the situation, "Patrushev suggested.

As for the Russian line in relation to Ukraine, it remains unchanged. It is important for Russia that the tasks of the RWT are solved. These tasks are known and have not changed. They were repeatedly named by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the aide to the Russian president recalled.

Lavrov said that Russia is ready to discuss security guarantees to the country, "which is now called Ukraine," but the Eurasian context will become the main one in reaching agreements. "Of course, threats on the western flank, on our western borders, must be eliminated as one of the main root causes. They can be eliminated, probably, only in the context of some broader agreements, we are ready to discuss security guarantees for the same country, which is now called Ukraine. "

Meanwhile, following the results of January 14, Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov congratulated the soldiers of the 144th Guards Motorized Rifle Division, who showed professionalism and decisiveness in the liberation of the village of Terny in the DPR. Units of the Vostok group of forces continued to advance into the depths of the enemy's defense and liberated the village of Neskuchnoye, DPR.

The defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the territory of the Kursk region continues. During the day, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine amounted to more than 460 servicemen.

The Russian Armed Forces repelled an attempt by the Kyiv regime to launch a missile strike on targets in Russia with American-made ATACMS operational-tactical missiles, UK-made Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles. During the air battle, all air attack weapons were shot down by air defense calculations. There are no casualties or injuries. Supported by Western curators, the actions of the Kyiv regime will not go unanswered.
