“Not the worst scenario for Ukraine.” Trump will not accept Putin’s ultimatums, because they will “bring America to its knees” – interview with Chaly

— There was an official message from the Russian Foreign Ministry, they said that they are ready to cooperate with the administration of Donald Trump, but only if they achieve Russian goals in the war in Ukraine. We remember these Russian goals: we are neutral, there is no army, they are taking Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, Donetsk regions and Crimea forever, because they were written into the Constitution. And there was a message from Kremlin sources that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin still congratulated Trump, although he did so unofficially, because officially it is an enemy state. The inevitable rapprochement of the USA and Russia, what do you expect from it?

— I think the situation should not be simplified. In the USA, there is now a very common position that Russia, if not the main adversary, is definitely a challenge and a threat to security. This is fixed in the documents. And China is the main opponent, on which the main efforts will be directed.

The presidential candidate and the president have slightly different tasks and obligations. Therefore, Donald Trump told the truth that the job of the president, especially in the United States, is the most important and hardest job in the world. It is really responsible to lead a country that has a military budget of 900 billion and the largest military influence in the world. I think that everything is not so smooth in Moscow regarding the arrival of Donald Trump.

I have read these statements. In general, I think that this statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a spit (I will use this word directly). Not a diplomatic move, let’s put it mildly, for the elected president of the USA.

Because not only are the demands regarding Russia’s war against Ukraine written there, but the demands known in Washington are written there in an ultimatum form. And I will remind you that there is an ultimatum sent to Washington on December 15, 2021, officially by the Russian Foreign Ministry, for the USA to withdraw troops from NATO countries, not to accept new countries into NATO, especially Ukraine. There are a lot of demands of a political nature that bring America to its knees. Do you think Trump will agree to be brought to his knees by Putin? I doubt it.

I have no doubt that it was Putin’s call. Does this indicate that Donald Trump will directly implement all the interests of Russia? Of course not, that is why it is very important for us to remind our partners in Washington what ultimate demands Moscow makes to Washington. And is the talking Donald Trump ready “let’s make America strong, first, great again” to such a dialogue, where he will be humiliated by such ultimatums. Not even at the level of presidents, but in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They have, as I have already mentioned, the Russian Foreign Ministry – the Ministry of Imitation of Diplomacy, it is clear that this is a propaganda office.

Therefore, not everything will be so simple. I don’t think Russia was very happy. They would like chaos, turbulence, clashes in Washington and the US to lead to a political collapse. Such a scenario was not excluded. Many people spoke, and yesterday discussed this scenario, when Donald Trump wins and the results are quickly established… By the way, let’s not forget who ensured the stability and democracy of the election process – Joseph Biden, the current president of the United States. Let’s not forget about it, he did not let the situation shake now.
