On the eve of the championship, we are all a little football players. Not excluding Western politicians. So, world leaders are transferred by Putin.
This began with the next breakthrough of the American center forward directly to the gates of the European team, when Trump again began to sharply conflict with his allies. He called for a revision of "unfair trade agreements" within the framework of the Seven. He broke a nuclear deal with Iran. He threatened with sanctions to the consortium of Western companies involved in the construction of the North Stream-2 gas pipeline. According to the results of the discussions, the US president recently took place with a “ terrible ” telephone conversation with his French colleague.
And in the pause between these events - the sanctional insights of Trump and his, as you can understand, frank conversation with Macron to disgrace - other, directly connected with them. European leaders went on counterattack. They frequented to Russia or began to accept Vladimir Vladimirovich at home.
Merkel visited Sochi, with a restrained smile, thanking Putin for a luxurious bouquet of white roses and, during a press conference, speaking in the sense that the Germans generally approve of the Northern Stream. Emmanuel's friend cordially and temperamently talked with the President of the Russian Federation first in Moscow, then during the St. Petersburg Forum. After that, the Russian leader went to Vienna, where he knitted with a local chancellor who expressed hope for improving the relations of the EU and Russia and the gradual abolition of sanctions.
However, now the initiative was seized by the Americans, which turned out for Europe with two strong blows into the gates. The day before yesterday in the press it flowed that Putin allegedly asked Sebastian Kurtz to help organize a meeting with Trump and a certain anonymous representative of the Washington National Security Council favorably confirmed these rumors. And yesterday, flying to the G7 summit in Canadian Charlesaa, the US president recalled about his Russian colleague. “Russia should have participated in this meeting,” Trump said. “We must let Russia go back, because we need it at the negotiating table.” From which it could be concluded that the meeting of the leaders of the two superpowers, announced by the Americans, can take place quite soon.
Nevertheless, people do not play this football in order to score a goal. But in order to take possession of the ball and, pretending to break through with him to the enemy’s gates, grieve him strongly and force him to surrender. Since this tricolor ball is quite large, heavy and terrible, and not at all leather. And the iron is not cast -iron and also toxic.
Europeans, meeting with Putin and simulating the restoration of a full partnership with Putin Russia, are trying to reason Donald’s friend and influence him. Say, not only we advocate for a deal with Tehran and the pipeline, but also your beloved Putin, to imagine, also with us! Resuming a dialogue with Vladimir Vladimirovich, European leaders seek to pressure Trump throughout the field, indicating to him that he with his amazing team and political throwing can remain alone. When making false jerks and passes, Merkel and Macron dream of that the impulsive American finally realizes who his real, traditional, faithful allies.
An irritable developer in response to this gives partly a paradoxical, partly natural reaction for him. Relatively recently, he literally ran from Putin in Vietnam, tearing the promised rendezvous. For that, probably the reason he ran that he did not want to give food for gossip to his enemies, including the special prosecutor Müller, who was digging slowly and stubbornly under him. Since then, little has changed in the sense of Trump's accusations of conspiracy with the Russians and impeachment prospects, except that his ideas about poor America, which all who is not too lazy to deceive and robb, have strengthened, and the conflict has become aggravated about the "unjust trade agreements", a nuclear deal, pipeline. When, including the habit of TV, he began to discover Putin with Merkel, Putin with Macron, Putin with the Austrians in him, he felt not only very lonely, but also deceived.
The idea that all these Europeans, who decided to establish contacts with Moscow, are victims of his schismatic policy, Trump does not come to mind. That is why other thoughts, a football type, ripen in his head. He wants to take this ball from the Germans, the French, the Austrians - and, shocking others, arrange a sports festival for himself. He scares Europeans, and they are scared.
Well, the ball also has goals and plans. Tacticals are reduced to introducing further scatter into enemy rows, and these days with great inhuman pleasure, he watches how the West will quarrel with the West again. It also reaches direct mocking, when Vladimir Vladimirovich, delighting the participants of the St. Petersburg Forum, promises Europe his patronage and promises Macron to “ensure the safety” of the old continent. In his duel with America, how easy it is to guess. The strategic goal is that, as if nothing had happened, to return to the “eight”, scraising both the Crimea and the Donbass, and calmly grind further world problems with the dear friend Donald.
This would be an unheard of luck, because Peskov responds to Trump's words with the indifference, afraid to frighten off luck. Like, it didn’t hurt, and now Russia “focuses on other formats”, despite the fact that the speed with which he responded to the nostalgic speeches of the American indicates the opposite. The ball is tired, the ball was tired that they kick him.
When this creepy football ends, it is difficult to say today. Perhaps after Trump's departure - at the end of his presidential term or earlier, if he is driven. Then, taught by the bitter experience of the split, the captains of the teams of the civilized world will remember the need for a well -coordinated game in the name of victory. About solidarity in the fight against the enemy. In the meantime, the match continues, and we are doomed to observe how the players, who were tested, constantly score the ball into their goal. The spectacle is quite dreary.
