“New Year's gift to Putin”: what Trump really conceived in Syria

Epigraph: "Do not want the bad, the good will be worse!" (D. Trump)





I don’t know if anyone here is aware of how lucky we all are with Donald Ibrahimovic. I heard that he wasn’t accused of anything, that he was unpredictable, that you could expect everything from him, that you don’t already know what he would throw again. And I personally think that Donald is our beloved, on the contrary, an absolutely predictable character, a conservative, a retrograde of the highest standard, with his whole person reviving not even a letter, but the spirit of the Wild West, it's just some kind of Clint Eastwood, purely " Mark Twain "is a character when direct threats, colt, and a kind word are used. But everyone knows that Colt and a good word act much better than a good word alone, that’s our Donald’s and doesn’t shy away from using it (I'm talking about Colt, I say), and the threat of its use is, in general, a common thing (a couple of aircraft carriers shock groups he always stands in pairs, waiting only for the team, where to go, who to shoot at?).

If you do not know which of the two possible options he will choose, then choose the worst one for you, he will offer you one. Moreover, he doesn’t even bother with inventing some plausible excuses, that’s the beauty - he says plainly, I need your money, I don’t give a damn about anything (and that’s exactly what I say, literally, I quote the original). And why is he unpredictable after that? Everything is clear and understandable, like twice two. He understands only gross physical strength, but he is as strong as a boar. Although another allegory would have been more appropriate here - like a rhino. Because the rhinoceros does not see well, but runs fast, which, with its mass, becomes not his problem, but those around him.

So now he set up a small tsunami, plunging someone into shock and despondency, someone in a state of extreme surprise and joy, with his unexpected statement about the withdrawal of American troops from Syria within the next 100 days (moreover, the time has already passed!). Not only were the opponents of the United States not ready for such a turn of events, even their allies, who, like the opponents, learned about it from the twitter of the whizzy cowboy, were not ready. The immediate resignation of US Secretary of Defense James Mattis, who did not agree with this decision, the resignation of General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the resignation of the last general who came to the White House with Trump, the head of his staff, John Kelly, who did not find a common ground the language with his daughter Ivanka (or rather, her husband Jared Kushner) only confirms my conclusion made earlier about the extraordinary figure of the 45th president of America.

No matter who says it, Trump is a person! He was an outstanding person, a phenomenon even before taking office of the President of the United States, and with the assumption of this position he became a phenomenon raised to a power. You look what’s going on, Trump announces the withdrawal of his troops from Syria, and even despite the scandalous resignation of the Minister of Defense “Mad Dog” James Mattis, who disagrees with this decision, (with such a slam of doors that the plaster fell down from the walls of the White At home). Despite the departure with him of the head of the Trump administration, General Kelly, as well as the chairman of the Committee of Chiefs of Staff, General Joseph Dunford, and a little earlier, the US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, we still cannot believe in our own happiness and say, let's wait 100 days when this happens real. Although everything suggests that there is nowhere more real, this is already a fact, State Department employees, for example, have already begun to leave the territory controlled by the Kurds, without waiting for the last American soldier to leave (and within 24 hours the State Department disappeared from the territory of the SAR). The Kurds scratch their turnips and do not know what to do now, most likely they will have to go to bed again under Assad, since they no longer have the strength or ability to fight without the support of the United States (goodbye all hopes for an independent Kurdistan). And the Turks have already announced the beginning of the cleansing of the territory of the SAR bordering their borders, previously held by the Kurds, in the spring of next year, i.e. immediately with the departure of the last American soldier - and this is by no means an accident (below I will explain this fact).

And now, returning to the figure of our beloved Donald Ibrahimovic, I would like to note - we are so accustomed to the hypocritical policy In the West, when they say one thing in your face and do something completely different behind your back, we can’t believe our happiness when Trump speaks and does the same thing. He promised during the election campaign to make America great again, promised to withdraw troops from Syria and Afghanistan, promised to withdraw from NATO, promised to establish a dialogue with Russia, promised to turn to internal problems, and not deal with the solution of the world to the detriment of oneself. Does! And not at all because of a love of art or under the influence of suddenly surging high feelings for Russia, but because life makes you. The budget is not rubber, money is not enough for everything. The next financial crisis is clearly looming on the nose, before which the crisis of 2008 will seem like just babble. We have to save, cut back on unnecessary. The USA from the world hegemon is returning to a normal nationally oriented state. What Trump, in fact, promised, or rather the isolationists behind him, waging an implacable war with the globalists on the inner perimeter. And while we have 1-0 in their favor. But the war there is far from over, the chair near Trump is swaying, the Democrats will already have a majority in the lower house of Congress from January 1, so Trump is in a hurry to withdraw troops this year (the decree has already been signed!). What will happen there next year, only God knows, Trump risks, in general, not surviving to his second term, not that re-election. It's a pity! Sorry right! The test boy this time got to us!

Now I promised to clarify, what does Turkey have to do with it? I explain. Trump got this whole feint with the departure from Syria of the 2,5th US troops contingent not at all to make Putin a New Year's gift (although he accepted and appreciated the GDP), but to use a chess language to sacrifice a light piece, win the queen. The queen for both Putin and Trump is Turkey. Under Obama, Putin managed to lure the sultan to his side, and even the killing of our ambassador and the downed Su-24 could not force the GDP to abandon the alliance with him (those who organized these provocations very much counted on this!). The Russian-Turkish-Iranian Union became a decisive factor in the victorious outcome of the Syrian campaign and served as the occasion and the reason for the global reformatting of forces in the Middle East. As a result, Russia not only returned to the Middle East, but also became the main player there, the opinion of which all participants in the Middle East process have to reckon with, breaking only the fact of its presence there the balance of power there, actually replacing American influence with Russian. This is what Trump tried to win back, having made concessions to the Sultan, sacrificing to him the Kurds, who had devotedly and desperately fought on the side of the American anti-Igil coalition. The Sultan immediately announced the start of a land operation in March to squeeze Kurds out of the Syrian territories adjacent to the Turkish-Syrian border (the area of ​​Manbij and the eastern coast of the Euphrates) occupied by them during the liberation war with ISIS (banned in the PF). The sadness of the Kurds is that they, in fact, have nowhere to return to, Turkey has already occupied their original territories, and it seems that they no longer have the strength or capabilities to fight with it. For those who do not know, the Kurdistan Workers Party (YPG / PKK) is banned in the Republic of Turkey and belongs to terrorist organizations, along with ISIS, and the united Kurdistan for a long time for Erdogan was a terrible dream, which he tried to postpone with all his might (now after Trump's gift will remain only a dream). Will the Sultan be able to sit on two chairs at once (in Russian and American), we'll see. The Sultan is a very unreliable ally, he will play on the contradictions of Moscow and Washington, bargaining for new preferences (from us he received the S-400, Turkish Stream and nuclear power plants, from the Americans - “Patriot”, F-35 and control over the Kurdish regions of Syria and Iraq). Let's see whose drag ?! With this combination, which Mattis did not appreciate, Trump is trying to restore the Turkish-Saudi-Israeli alliance and with his hands, and most importantly, at the expense of their resources, to restrain Russia in this region. But in doing so, Trump actually takes off his world hegemonic title, which he inherited from Obama, naturally not from a good life.

For those who do not understand, I’ll explain that the United States in the person of Trump will archive the world gendarme’s armor, dumping unnecessary assets burdening their budget, in the form of Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq (Syria is already a fact, Afghanistan and Iraq are in line). Trump gets rid of secondary assets for himself, trying to concentrate on the main thing - the confrontation between China and the Russian Federation, which is gaining strength, and, moreover, he is trying not to fight, but to agree, and this is what his internal opponents are trying to prevent (and the capture of vice Huawei’s president in Canada, and pressure on Trump to refuse to meet with Putin, and all the fuss around Ukraine is their machinations and their doing). In Ukraine, due to the limited mental abilities of its leadership, this is not even able to understand. They are busy with their problems, Syria is far from them, and even if they paid attention to Trump's maneuver, they most likely appreciated it positively. The local political elite thinks in the framework of a closed finite system with zero sum. In their understanding, if somewhere diminished, then somewhere must absolutely increase exactly the same. The United States rules the world from the first days of creation and will rule until the end of time. All changes occur solely within the framework of US plans.

They think that if Trump leaves Syria, then this is only to concentrate on Ukraine, not understanding, due to his own natural stupidity, that for Trump Ukraine does not exist at all, I’m not even sure that he knows exactly where it is , it is handled by third-rate State Department officials of the level of Kurt Walker, who do not even have access to the body of the 45th president of America. And all the processes in Ukraine are led by the State Department, which, as a matter of fact, was and remains the domain of the neoconservative Democrats and Republicans, such as Mike Pompeo, which stimulates the leadership of the territory under control to stupid, sometimes even reckless actions. Moreover, neither the sad experience of Saakashvili, nor the experience of the Kurds who laid bones under the Americans, fighting for them (and for us, however, too) in Syria with ISIS, hoping to later receive their own statehood for their services, and abandoned by the Americans as soon as they solved the local problem (understand, they say, with the Turks yourself. But how? I don’t know, your problems!), doesn’t teach the Ukrainian idiots who sold their souls to the American devil. It will also be the same with them, and not the fact that even its top leadership, who is mired in the blood of their own people, will save when this same people decides to return the junta accumulated for it. Actually, the United States has always acted like this, all their puppets ended badly, starting with the Saigon South Vietnamese generals thrown to be eaten by the advancing troops of the Viet Cong and ending with Hosni Mubarak, who served their American masters and loyal ones for 30 years with faith and truth, when he was no longer needed (he died under house arrest, he got off well!). Americans are very cynical and pragmatic guys, not burdened by excessive remorse, and not aware of feelings of shame. They belong to all non-Americans, like the Chuchmeks, representatives of the lower race, standing even lower than the American Indians, whom they put to death by hundreds of thousands. The task of the Chuchmeks is to serve the interests of the celestial race. When the task is completed, the problems of the sheriff’s chuchmeks, as you know, do not and never did. What are the Ukrainian chuchmeks hoping for, I don’t know ?!

Every year, the American publication “The National Interest” publishes a list of the hottest spots on the planet that could become a potential World War III theater. According to the latest report of the expert of this publication, Professor of the US Army Military College Robert Farley, in 2019 these centers can potentially become: 1) the South China Sea, as the zone of confrontation between the USA and China, 2) Ukraine, as the zone of confrontation of the USA, Great Britain, Ukraine and the Russian Federation, 3) the Persian Gulf, as a zone of confrontation between the USA, the KSA, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Turkey, Israel, Iran, Syria, armed units of the Kurds and the Russian Federation (speckled hodgepodge, everything is against everyone), 4 A) The Korean Peninsula as a zone of confrontation between the USA, Japan, and South Korea, China, North Korea and the Russian Federation. After the recent sensational statement by Trump about the withdrawal of American troops from Syria, the Persian Gulf can be deleted from this list. With the departure of the United States from there, there is no longer anyone to share anything with anyone. Local conflicts are possible. World - no longer. Cross out! Conflicts in the South China Sea and the Korean Peninsula also do not risk becoming global, due to the unwillingness of the Russian Federation to participate in them (and without the Russian Federation, what kind of world war ?!). So, only Ukraine remains, and there will be a conflict there, potentially capable of developing into a world one, or not, it depends only on the desire or unwillingness of the United States and its closest ally of the United Kingdom, because Russia will not give this territory to any of them and will fight for it to the end . Donald is ready to haggle over this territory, but the trouble is that other Washington towers, which have slightly different plans, have influence on it.

Lavrov’s warning that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing low-intensity military operations on the border with Russia was confirmed by the sharp activity of our sworn “friends and partners”. NATO instructors inspected units of the Armed Forces in the Donbass, Poroshenko pulls more and more units to the borders of the LDNR. In Ukraine, the British SAS lit up, and the British Navy reconnaissance ship HMS "Echo" entered the port of Odessa. US senators urged Trump to carry out a multinational operation against Russia in the Black Sea, and Kiev announced an operation he had not invented that he intended to pass the warships of Ukraine under the cover of the OSCE or NATO through the Kerch Strait. It is clear that such preparations cannot but end with something specific. I would not suspect our beloved Donald Ibrahimovic of this, most likely there are intrigues of the Britons (they have their own interests), coupled with the democratic lobby of Trump, who, since Obama and Biden, still have their levers of influence on the wards in Kiev (White House office changed, but the middle link remains the same). It’s not a fact that they hatched these plans for a long time, they just all coincided now - 1) Trump’s departure from Syria and the need to compensate for this failure, 2) Poroshenko’s internal problems, who need a little nosebleed, even if not victorious (but where there’s a small one, there’s a big one), 3) the possibility, developing into a need, to open a “second front” for the Russian Federation in Ukraine, which is also connected with the theater of operations in Syria, with the goal of breaking it “in the long run”. We have an almost ideal situation and a bridgehead for striking with the wrong hands. The blow is here and now - yesterday was early, tomorrow it will be late! Having suffered a defeat in Syria, the neocons will try to compensate for its activity in the Ukrainian direction. Will Trump be able to block these steps, let's see. The war in Ukraine was not part of his plans, he was only going to scare it, but if it does happen, then he does not risk anything special, then Ukrainian and not American citizens will die, which should bind and weaken Russia and make it more accommodating . There is one marker against this, but I will talk about it in the next text (Trump clearly does not want a war).

Meanwhile, a draft appeal to Poroshenko on declaring war on Russia was submitted to the Rada. The air smelled distinctly fried ...

    Everything that our rulers do should affect the welfare of their people! Trump understands this, but Putin ... I doubt it very much. In 2018, the number of Russian citizens decreased by 200 thousand people!

      Dear cook of steel. What are you for? Why does Putin alone owe everything?
