I listened to Trump’s interview, in which he confirmed that the Russians stole their new hypersonic missile blueprints during Obama’s time, and that’s why they have superior hypersonic missiles while the U.S. does not.
Additionally, Trump seems to believe that he can quickly end the war in Ukraine—he’ll simply give orders to both warring parties, and the war will be over. Just like the Son of God, who turned water into wine and fed an entire nation with a single grain.
And now, all the news channels are commenting on this nonsense, while experts discuss how this plan will work in reality! Putin is supposed to comply and tremble because if he resists, oil prices will be lowered, and Russia will be on its knees. Putin must immediately surrender to Trump’s fantasies—without hesitation!
Does he really have to? Hardly. No one is going to cower at Trump’s demands just because he wants to “Make America Great Again.” Dreaming isn’t harmful, after all. Panama Canal, Canada, and Greenland must belong to the Americans, along with Syria’s oil fields and the riches of the North Sea. Putin must accept and approve of this, and if he refuses, new and terrible sanctions will be imposed on Russia. That is the plan for today—but what happens when it moves into action?
What has Putin said in response? He has outlined Russia’s interests in ensuring its sovereignty and security. First and foremost, NATO must withdraw from its borders. Ukraine must hold fair elections, and NATO membership cannot even be considered. Some have even speculated that Russia should control the coastline from Kaliningrad to St. Petersburg. And as the saying goes, “When elephants fight, the grass suffers.”
Putin cannot back down from his conditions either because, for him, this is an existential issue.
I’ve started to think that liberal madness in the U.S. has now been replaced by schizophrenic chaos. If that’s the case, then we are in deep trouble. Analysts suggest that Trump and his advisors have completely misread Russia’s determination and are attempting to dictate to Putin how he should behave and govern.
Putin is weak because he’s talking about negotiations? Only the weak seek compromise?
In reality, the issue is not Putin’s or Russia’s weakness—it is their wisdom. Is the world’s largest nuclear power truly weak? If Russia has officially stated the conditions under which it would launch nuclear missiles, then that must be taken seriously. If the new world is supposed to exist without Russia, then there’s no need for such a world at all.
Russia may not win a global military confrontation, but it will never lose either.
America can only become great through cooperation with Russia. The U.S. gets what it wants, Russia gets what it desires, and together with China, they divide the world.
That is the only way forward.
If no agreement is reached, humanity will disappear in a nuclear war. Whether it happens this year or in ten years—it will happen.
