And you must admit, this could become a spectacular spectacle. Our, so youthful and purposeful arrives, and exclaims: "New thinking!" The American arrives, old and brutal, and objects, and in Russian: "Trust, but check!" Then the leaders have been grinding for a long time about the arms race and the general state of affairs on the planet, do not agree on anything, but the basics for the dialogue are laid down, and soon they will sign a comprehensive agreement, having finished with the Cold War. To the delight of humanity, for many previous years, the over -ows of the world massacre.
In Russian, this is called "dejavu", and not in Russian-Reykjavik. As for the language of modern politics, generously clogged with various kinds of leaks and fakes, sometimes indistinguishable from each other, the name of one of the northern capitals today again symbolizes something like a discharge in relations between Washington and Moscow. One of the fresh news, published in the tabloid and immediately fiercely refuted by both sides, sounds : our and the American will soon meet in Reykjavik.
Disavoyed news seduces old hopes and temptations.
We remember how it was. First, Mikhail Sergeyevich did not want to admit the presence of some political prisoners there in his country, but soon changed his mind and even, under the benevolent pressure of Western partners, began to free them all. First, he seemed to praise Stalin, and the new thaw and the youth edition of TV, having walked around the wild, began to stiggle the crimes of the past times to the country. At first, the plenum, even if April, was not a place for discussions, but then the congress came and such disputes opened as no one heard for 70 years. That's what the Life -giving Reykjavik does!
That's why I really want, without checking, to trust colleagues, claiming that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have already agreed to conclude a “deal” in the style of a Rome. The Russian president will play Gorby, and the US president will master the role of the great Ronald. Of course, in other historical circumstances, but with the same measure of responsibility to humanity, they will solve the accumulated problems and gradually these problems will solve.
Well, why not? They, Putin and Trump, have even a number of advantages in comparison with Gorbachev and Reagan. For the owner of the White House, the next Soviet leader was the next lord of the Evil Empire. The sinister American old man with his "star wars" was scared by children. On the contrary, Vladimir Vladimirovich and Donald Ivanovich are connected even with absentee, but unusually warm relations. And if rumors and reports are true that the hospitable Russian owners satisfied the literally any whims of the overseas guest while he was the organizer of the Miss Universe contest in Moscow and terribly piled up for him and dried up when he ran for presidents, the coming Reykjavik seems almost predetermined.
Another question is what this will be for Reykjavik and what will turn into a human meeting of the bosomic, albeit unfamiliar friends with each other.
It is believed that Trump is a burned businessman and a cynic that uses people, their fears and hope solely for their own benefits. In particular, apocalyptic fears, which Russia in recent years delivered in the daily shipment mode. In a duel with Hillary Clinton, who was considered the implacable enemy of Putin, he successfully exploited these fears, and it is possible that many Americans consciously or unconsciously voted for the "peacekeeper". However, now it is time to engage in a specific policy, and wherever they meet, Trump with Putin, it will be very difficult for them to negotiate. For the fact that the billionaire will probably want to bargain with Russia at a very high price, which will be unbearable for the Kremlin. At the price of a transaction within which the Russian Federation will no longer pose an existential threat to the United States.
There is a version that he is not the one for whom he gives himself out. In appearance, the narcissistic redneck and ignoramus, Trump is much smarter and more vulnerable than he wants to seem. Therefore, so painfully reacts to all sorts of compromising rumors, similar or dissimilar to the truth. It is only clear that over the years of his stormy and delightfully beautiful 70-year life he has completely completely scored and, therefore, should be a politician much more controlled than it may seem at first glance. In addition, the American system of checks and counterweights does not provide for those finites that in other times were indicated by the unpleasant word "voluntarism". Balancing between Realpolitik and impeachment, the Republican will be noticeably constrained in his actions and hardly dare to act, delighting Vladimir’s friend, but unacceptable for America. Type of surrender of Ukraine, tough showdowns with Europe, distance from NATO. Moreover, against the background of unpleasant talk about his many years of close contacts with Moscow.
But then what should they agree in the imaginary Reykjavik, these presidents, clearly created for each other and so unlike? And most importantly, the situation in both countries is radically different from the one that took place under Gorbachev and Reagan. Then, three decades ago, the Soviet people were in a state of persistent aversion to their superiors and the system, and in the name of the film of the future prominent unicorn, this attitude was expressed capaciously and accurately: "You cannot live like that." Now it turns out that only this is possible, and in a relatively fresh survey, the foreign policy ideals of most Russians are formulated unequivocally: everyone is afraid of us, and it’s good that they are afraid. And the one without whom Russia is not, sensitively listens to these suggested thoughts and intends to continue to continue to realize the most daring dreams of compatriots. So about "new thinking" in relation to Vladimir Vladimirovich - this can only be said in a mockery.
He also remembers how it was under Reagan and after. At first they checked, then trusted, and the political prisoners were released, and the journalists wrote what they wanted, and the missiles, figuratively expressing themselves, was closed, and the world applauded the agreed, and there, even the largest geopolitical catastrophe, it was hand. You can’t spend Putin.
As for America, the arrival of Trump is accompanied by such a number of news about Russia, which has never heard there. These almost hourly news, more often in the form of leaks than fakes, have recently become top -end, and the end is not visible with reports about how former reloading partners hacked literally everything that moves. What a raykjavik is there. Humanity will be easily getting off if the Trumpoputin era ends without fatal shocks and the peoples of the world somehow survive them. This and this, the permanent Russian leader and the upcoming American father of the nation, which, in good conscience, would be better not to meet.
