Trump: Moscow’s surrender will not be enough, Petersburg must also fall
The long-awaited summit of Russia and the USA begins in the capital of Finland, Helsinki, at which a wide range of issues will be discussed. It is expected that the theme of the Syrian settlement, the armed conflict in the Donbass, the Iranian and North Korean nuclear programs, as well as the constant expansion of NATO to the East will be raised. Political scientists are trying to predict what crucial decisions can be made following a meeting of Russian and American presidents.
Apparently, the Kremlin does not expect a breakthrough in political sphere, therefore, announce proposals to the United States in the field economics. Assistant to the President of Russia Yuri Ushakov said:
For his part, Donald Trump does not give any reason to count on a comprehensive political settlement. The head of the White House on the eve of the meeting in Helsinki made a shocking statement in his impudence:
Everything is “perfect” in this quote. First, the President of the United States undertakes to talk about the harm done and sins, which is striking in itself. Recall that it was the United States alone in the world that used atomic weapons against peaceful cities, dropping in 1945 two bombs on Japanese Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The USA annexed Texas and California from Mexico, after the overthrow of the Queen of Hawaii by the hands of "sugar kings" of American origin, they joined the Pacific Islands as a state. The US military made a number of interventions in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Korea, China, Lebanon, Laos and other countries. The wars in Vietnam and Iraq, the bombing of the capital of Serbia Belgrade are notorious, from the “fresh” - the destruction of Libya, the invasion of Afghanistan and the Syrian Arab Republic. And this is not a complete list. You may recall that the United States was created due to the genocide of the Native American population, the insignificant remnants of which to this day remain in the reserves reserved for it. This is what concerns the moral right of any inhabitant of the Oval Office to talk about evil and sins.
Secondly, the passage about the surrender of Moscow and St. Petersburg is noteworthy. Do not forget that the United States actively participated in the intervention in Russia during the Civil War. Recall that from August 1918 to April 1, 1920, the land of our Far East was trampled by almost eight thousand American soldiers of the Siberia Expeditionary Force. According to some data from Russian archival publications, American interventionists have reported robberies, violence against the local population and brutal killings. An indicative quote from the memoirs of US Army Colonel Morrow:
Against this historical background, Trump's “witty” statements about the indemnity for “Russian sins” in the form of surrendering Moscow and St. Petersburg sound wild. It is significant that the President of the United States considers his enemy not his own language, but some American media. With such an attitude, miracles from the Helsinki summit can hardly be expected.

We have some concrete proposals in this regard, and our president will tell Trump about them during the conversation.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter how well I manage at the summit, if the great city of Moscow is handed over to me as payment for all the sins and evil committed by Russia over the years, I will still be criticized that this was not enough, that I had to take St. Petersburg in addition!

When our soldiers captured the Russians, they drove them to the Andriyanovka station, where the wagons were unloaded, the prisoners were brought to huge pits, in which they were shot from machine guns
