Trump boasted that he could end the Ukraine war within
24 hours. You believe that braggart? How is that humanly possible? Two
years of destruction, huge sacrifices in human lives and weapons cannot
just be settled by a phone call, the fastest route to take in 24 hours.
He may be able to force Ukraine to the table, but Russia is not going to
trust verbal assurances, knowing that even written agreements and
treaties can be push aside by the other party. Gorbachev made verbal
agreements with Nato and Russia is now paying the price. Russia is not
ready to be fooled a second time. Not with Putin in charge.
Trump also boasted that trade wars are easy to win. Has he won? US trade deficit vis a vis China is still climbing.
Having
already made clear his vile intentions over Venzuela during his first
term, Venzuela needs to form security alliances with Russia and China,
even to the extent of allowing Russia to place tactical nuclear
deterrence in Venzuela just in case, like what Russia did in Belarus.
Venezuela cannot afford to take care of its national security only when
the shit hits the fan. Not even if Trump fails to win in 2024.
Sleep-walking Biden may just follow Trump's footstep. Right hand, left
hand, they are all of one kind.
Trump wanted to make America
Great Again. Nothing looks great for USA after his Presidency, and
everything since then are on a downhill trajectory. USA influence has
been declining, with more and more countries joining BRICS and
abandoning the US$ in trade. The only thing great about USA is the debt
that keeps piling up.
Trumps's incessant tirade against China
starting from the trade war is a pivotal turning point of mistrust by
China for the USA. His attempt to use biological weapons aka COVID19
against China backfired. With Biden taking after his anti-China
rhetoric, China's relations with the USA is hard to mend today, with
China now intent on retaliating against the USA in many areas -
de-dollarision using BRICS, technology strike back against USA companies
operating in China now ongoing, reorientation of China's dependence on
USA and its allies for chips, and prioritising self sufficiency in every
aspect of economic activity. There is really no turning back for China
this time.
As Al Capone (played by Robert de Niro) in 'The
Untouchables' said to reporters - 'Somebody messes with me, I'm gonna
mess with him'. Messing with Russia in Ukraine is already a big mistake,
and messing with Russia and China together is a recipe that will lead
to USA's Waterloo.

If Trump comes back, there will be Russiagate version 2. Trump already said that he will end the Ukraine War within 24 hours, which is unacceptable to the neo-Con war hawks. Trump will have to be chummy once again with Putin, at least to have a shot at peace, and therein lies the problem. Whether he will or can do it is another question.
ReplyDeleteDuring his first term as President, he promised draining the swamp, but he infested it with more unholy weasels like William Barr, John Bolton, Mike Pompeo etc, all of his own choice. Nothing changes.
