Unearthly

When the future American President Donald Trump explained that the international policy was arranged as a system of transactions, it seemed incredible to many that a middle -aged person who lived all his life in the United States - albeit who had engaged in his whole life to make money, and not an analysis of historical and political laws - this is how the head of the leading democracy of the modern world imagines his actions. Nevertheless, this is a reality today. And the vision of the world is also a reality. Trump did not joke.

Therefore, he will meet with Putin in the calculation to agree with the Russian colleague. And the world will follow this meeting "Hurring his breath." But there is no need to do anything like this with your breath. You just need to exhale.

Because this meeting will end with nothing. Like all other meetings of Donald Trump. You can even rewind Trump for a second term. You can give him the most experienced advisers. You can write him the best speeches. But all his meetings with dictators will end in nothing. The emptiness is incomplete.

The meeting of Trump and Putin is a meeting of dreamers. One dreams of a simple world in which all problems are solved with the help of transactions, and he himself looks like the head of this world and his favorite at the same time, Alexander Macedonian and Charlie Chaplin in one bottle. Another represents himself as the head of the superpower, the revolving fate of the world, and at the same time an informal owner of a secret state, Stalin and Koreiko at the same time. Of course, they need to meet with a psychoanalyst, and not with each other, but they will try to use a partner as a psychoanalyst. And they count.

Putin does not conclude transactions. He deceives transactions partners. At the same time, Trump has nothing to offer Putin. He cannot cancel sanctions. He cannot "give" to Putin Ukraine and even Syria. It cannot solve the issue of oil prices. At the same time, Putin is sure that Trump can do anything, he only wants to want to. But this goldfish floats in the aquarium of Congress and American public opinion. And this aquarium of possibilities is by no means an ocean.

The meeting of Putin and Trump can end with what Trump's meeting with Kim Jong -un has ended: a declaration of intentions and omissions that excite suspicion and perplexity. Just on the day of the arrival of Trump, John Bolton, in Moscow, the DPRK has been improving its nuclear reactor in Moscow. You can, of course, decide that this is Fake News. But in the end, this one - and similar to her - the information will be confirmed. Kim Jong -un, a meeting with Trump needed exactly for the same for which Putin needed her - not for agreements, not to search for a compromise, but to prove his own greatness. That is why such meetings end with what should end. Nothing.

The most interesting thing is that Trump will never understand this. And his fans too. They will convince themselves that a meeting with Kim Jong -Uni Trump prevented a big war on the Korean peninsula. And the meeting with Putin is generally the third world. To understand that Kim was not going to fight with anyone, but simply with a desperate bluff “pulled out” a large American fish from Washington to Singapore - and pulled out, and now from the marginal ruler of a poor country has turned into a serious partner for neighbors - they simply will not be able to. Trump gave the North Korean ruler with his misunderstanding of politics - but he did not deprive him of the bombs. And this is a really serious result of a meeting in Singapore.

Putin does not need legitimacy. But he needs the fear of those who expect to protect and support the United States in their own confrontation between the Kremlin regime. There will be no fears that this support will not be. That America will pass them, exchange, include in the "Package Package". And let these fears never be confirmed - the consequences of their occurrence are unpredictable.

Therefore, it would be short -sighted to believe that the meeting of the dictator with the American president - even meaningless - does not lead to serious political changes. Curses. Because each such meeting is an revision of values. And each revision of values ​​reduces the number of people who are guided by these values ​​and perceive the United States as their defender.

Trump may think that his dialogues with dictators make the world safer. But he is mistaken. Each meeting of the leader of the democratic world with the dictator makes our world more dangerous and less predictable. Each such meeting makes many people doubt that the democratic world generally exists.
