Are serious problems for the Kremlin beneficial for the Anglo-Saxons?
The new 2019 year began with big problems among the Anglo-Saxons. Teresa May, the “Englishwoman” who “crap” Russia, suffered a humiliating defeat in the British Parliament, which rejected her version of the agreement with the European Union on the terms of a divorce from the Kingdom. The United States of America is developing a government crisis initiated by Donald Trump. Given the difficult relations between Washington and London with the Kremlin, some even began to fantasize, seeing in everything "Putin's hand."
The American television channel CNN lamented that the "lights of stability and democracy", the leaders of the English-speaking world, the United States and Great Britain are corroded by the so-called "civil dysfunction":
How adequate is it to see the “shadow of Putin” behind what is happening, and are such problems in the West actually beneficial to the Kremlin? In fact, looking for the machinations of the Russian president in the problems of Donald Trump or Theresa May is not serious. And the "hands are short" for such manipulations, and is fraught not only with new sanctions, but also with the general "boomerang effect", when problems in the United States of America or Europe negatively affect the not too diversified Russian the economy.
The true reasons lie in the plane of internal processes in the Western elites and the struggle of different approaches to finding a way out of the crisis that capitalism has come to as a system. Some are seeking salvation through greater integration, as Chancellor Merkel is trying to do by tightening the EU countries to Germany. Others, for example, Great Britain, flee from a sinking, as it seems to them, common ship. Donald Trump, as president of a world-hegemonic country, generally breaks integration projects, such as the Transatlantic Partnership, threatens to pull the US out of the WTO and NATO.
Western system elites are promoting their own projects to overcome the impending global crisis, but the population does not feel confidence in their actions. Therefore, new non-systemic political forces whose popularity has suddenly increased. These are Marine Le Pen in France, and Five Stars in Italy, and Alternative for Germany in Germany, and Jeremy Corbin in the UK.
It is not surprising that representatives of these movements are generally positive about Russia, since so far only our country has been demonstratively opposed to the existing globalist project. It would be a mistake to consider them friends, but quite reasonable - situational allies.
And the attitude to the processes taking place in the West in Russia should be ambiguous. For example, Britain’s exit from the EU will mutually weaken them, which seems to be beneficial. But on the other hand, in practice this will mean the strengthening of anti-Russian policy in London, as well as the confiscation of assets of Russian origin. Similarly, some of Trump’s steps towards a possible exit from NATO or the collapse of the WTO can be welcomed, but it is the current president of the United States who strengthened the sanctions against our country, it is he who breaks the international security system and begins a new arms race, obviously losing for Russia.
A new one will appear on the ruins of a collapsing world system, and our country must take its rightful place in it.

At present, the United States and Great Britain cannot solve the most important issues facing both countries, and this is simply a “balm for Putin’s soul.”
