It is so clearly exposed by all the sudden change of narrative about the situation in Ukraine, the criticism of the Europeans in NATO, the total humiliation of Zelenskyy and the shifting of relations with Moscow, all to soften Putin to lure him away from supporting China and his overseeing the development of BRICS. I believe Putin is smart enough to see what the USA is trying to do and does not fall into a trap that will backfire against Putin.
After spouting all the narrative for the last two years that Russia started the Ukraine War, Trump just turn the narrative on its head by accusing Zelenskyy of being the one igniting the war in Ukraine. It was a 180-degree turn, not 360-degree turn asked of Putin by Annalena Baerbock, the ignoramus German foreign minister who lost her direction, making her the laughingstock of the whole world. I guess in the West, Ignorance is always seen as bliss.
Trump wants to pivot his conflict towards China and needs to pry Russia away from supporting China, which is the motive for all the willingness to go to the extent of punishing the EU and criminalizing Zelenskyy. Putin must not forget the expansion of NATO despite the agreement with Gorbachev, the kicking out of Russia from the G7, the sanctions on Russia, the bombing of the Nord Stream pipelines and the seizure of Russia assets.
Let us say if Putin does fall into the trap and China is defeated, what do we think will the USA do? Its playbook says, the USA will go for Russia next, just like going for the EU after having served its purpose of fighting the Russians in Ukraine on behalf of the USA. Now the EU is destroyed economically and about to be pushed over the edge of the cliff, just to lure Putin to join the USA camp. Is it going to happen? Remember, Putin is playing chess, the Chinese playing Go, while Trump can only play checkers. Agreements with Trump may hold for four years, but what happens when a new USA President takes over? He will still have to play according to what is in the USA playbook, which is to maintain its sole superpower status and still using the US$ hegemony to control the world. Where will Russia be by then?
