The US can no longer hide its need for Russia
The fact that the presidents of Russia and the United States - Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump - can meet in the very near future, many media say. The Russian publication Kommersant suggested when exactly such a meeting could take place. Perhaps it will be July 13-14.
Since the American president needs to be at the NATO summit in Belgium on July 11-12, and the Russian leader will be at the final of the World Cup on July 15, the date indicated by Kommersant looks quite logical. And if the meeting is successful, it cannot even be ruled out that Trump will be in Moscow, at the closing of the Championship, together with the President of the Russian Federation.
One of the most likely places where negotiations can take place between the two leading world politiciansis Vienna. Firstly, it is conveniently located from a geographical point of view, and secondly, Austria has non-aligned status, thanks to which the parties can decide that the capital of this country is an acceptable place for both Putin and Trump. If Putin arrives in Washington or Trump in Moscow, this can be regarded as an unequal relationship.
Meanwhile, the US president has not practically concealed recently that he needs Russia as a partner. For example, as you know, at the recent G-XNUMX summit in Quebec, he announced that he needed Moscow at the negotiating table. Therefore, he proposed the return of the Russian Federation to the GXNUMX, which in this case will again become the GXNUMX.
True, this statement by Trump has been harshly criticized both by American politicians and by European partners. And Russia itself is not eager to return to the so-called elite club. But the fact that the American president made this unexpected statement speaks volumes.
And only then did Trump say almost about his readiness to recognize Crimea as Russian. At least start such negotiations. This also caused dissatisfaction among his opponents within the United States, Kiev, and Europe. But nevertheless this curtsy towards Moscow was made.
The American publication The New Yorker quotes a source in the Trump administration who says that the latter intends to meet with a Russian colleague, and negotiations have been ongoing for several weeks:
It literally cannot be stopped. He will achieve his. Since he wanted to meet with Putin, he will definitely meet with him
In addition, recently, trump, despite the opposition of many of his assistants, met with DPRK leader Kim Jong-un. Even one of the most ardent opponents of such a meeting, National Security Advisor John Bolton, could not prevent it. It turns out that hardly anyone will be able to prevent a meeting with Putin.
Russian political scientist Konstantin Blokhin, a specialist at the Center for Security Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, commented on the situation in an interview with the Free Press website.
According to him, the fact is that the US leadership saw the rapprochement between Russia and China and was frightened, because the alliance between these countries is Washington’s “geopolitical nightmare”. The United States was simply frightened of Russia's turn to the East. They understand that this happened as a result of the aggressive policies of the United States and its allies (for example, Britain).
Now the American ruling circles are not up to hatred of the Kremlin. Yes, and this hatred itself was one of the tools to fight against Trump at the time when he had just come to power. Now Trump has already integrated into the system, and it is unlikely that anyone will be able to prevent him from meeting with Putin.
According to the political scientist, the threat of impeachment to Trump has actually passed, because at present his policy is more aggressive than that pursued by his predecessor Barack Obama. So, now Trump supports the military-industrial complex, relations with the Israeli lobby are established, and the Republican Party is almost completely on his side. His resignation is supported mainly by representatives of the Democratic Party.
Answering the question of what the Russian and American leaders will talk about, the expert said that these are, first of all, such issues as the INF Treaty and START-3 treaties. In addition, these are the problems of Syria, Ukraine and the DPRK. And, of course, they will be on the agenda economic issues, in particular related to sanctions.
One of the key points noted by the political scientist is that Washington’s desire to conduct a dialogue with Moscow is a sign of a crisis in the United States. In addition, Trump decided to reconsider relations with some American allies. Now, the expert noted, the US trade deficit with them amounted to $ 800 billion. In addition, Washington is exhausted by participation in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

And in general, the world order that they built is now disadvantageous for the United States. Hence the attempts at dialogue with others, the same Russia. The need for this will only grow
