Trump's Hanoi impasse: Kim gave a US curb master class
The "epochal" meeting of the leaders of the United States of America and North Korea in Vietnamese Hanoi ended in nothing. Or, after all, nothing for Donald Trump and another geopolitical victory for Kim Jong-un? The second option seems to be more probable; by the way, most of the world media are inclined towards it. The "big and scary" USA once again tried to take it in a snap - and were left with nothing. The small but proud DPRK did not yield to the claims of a much stronger opponent. So who is the victory? However, let's understand in detail.
According to sources close to the White House, a similar outcome was foreseen there in advance, considering the upcoming summit "insufficiently developed" and poorly prepared. They tried to dissuade Trump from the meeting almost until the last minute, but the President of the United States, as usual, having dismissed the annoying advisers, rushed to meet ... the complete wreck. Sorry for the vulgarity ... It is extremely difficult to characterize ahead of schedule and completely unsuccessful negotiations. And how wonderful it all began! Luxury hotels, breakfast with delicacies, Trump's delight from the reception in Hanoi: “So much love, so much love!” It would be time for a person with his experience to realize that wide smiles on the faces of the people of the East did not necessarily mean passionate feelings ...
The negotiations themselves were much more modest. About them it is quite possible to say: "ended without really starting." Trump, to the tinkle of rapidly collapsing thanks to his diplomatic fiasco on the South Korean stock exchange, quotes had to single-handedly puff off at the final press conference, making every effort to not become a complete laughing stock. Again the words about “wonderful prospects” and “a brilliant future”, again the ambitious plans “to talk about”. In specifics - a complete void. And also Trump's unexpectedly frank statement: “Sometimes you just need to leave the negotiations ...” So far, haven't you started to beat? In any case, Kim’s only replicated media answer to reporters to the question of whether he wants to disarm: “I wouldn’t like it — I wouldn’t come!” Looks much more worthy than the flowery verbiage of the American leader.
In fact, in Hanoi, Washington’s favorite “diplomacy from Mount Mechnikov” suffered another defeat: “In the morning, money - in the evening chairs! In the evening money - in the morning chairs! But money is ahead! ” The US desire to snatch maximum concessions from a partner with a minimum of real response does not work anymore. By breaking the "nuclear deal" with Iran, the Americans completely nullified their confidence loan. It is logical that the nation of the descendants of those who exchanged almost the entire territory of the states for a bunch of beads is trying to make such "honest deals" and hundreds of years later, stubbornly not wanting to admit that the world around has changed and they don’t sit at the negotiating table at all " dirty natives ”, who sacredly believe in every word of“ white masters ”. Want to close nuclear facilities? Remove sanctions! Not?! Well, whatever you want ...
By the way, the North Korean press once again put Trump into a hefty puddle, exposing the whole world as a liar. It turns out that Kim did not ask to remove all restrictions against the DPRK - just a few. However, the United States did not want to do this. Well - the result is logical. Until Washington understands that in the current conditions nuclear weapons are a matter of life and death for North Korea, the only guarantee of preserving statehood, all negotiations will end in the same way to no avail. Personally, it's time for Trump to understand - trying to buy Eun is deeply futile. You can repeat as much as you like about the "brilliant prospects of the DPRK after full denuclearization" and promise to "make North Korea economic missile, ”as Donald did - Kim clearly prefers ballistic to economic missiles. So it is more reliable.
It is possible that in addition to the proposed DPRK to close Yongbyon, the country has other secret facilities working for a nuclear program. However, one had to start with something! According to Ri Yong Ho, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of North Korea, “a realistic proposal was made to the President of the United States,” and only part of the sanctions was requested in response. Incidentally, the DPRK official media (there are no others there, however) do not at all consider the Hanoi summit a failure - not at all. They evaluate it as "extraordinary" and "successful." Moreover, they write about "a new era in relations between the DPRK and the USA," and also about the fact that "a new turn has taken place in the long-standing confrontation." It should be noted that there are certain grounds for such joyful assessments. Be that as it may, Pyongyang was practically left alone - sanctions are not lifted, but they are no longer threatened with bombing. Meeting with Kim Jong-un, corresponding with him and proclaiming panegyrics in his honor, Donald Trump, in fact, legalizes the leader of the “rogue country”, gives him more and more weight in the international arena.
There is one more thing. Despite the fact that negotiations ended in vain, the United States and South Korea have already announced the termination of large-scale joint military exercises Foal Eagle and Key Resolve, to the extreme irritating Pyongyang. Moreover, please note, Pentagon officials have announced that these maneuvers are canceled forever! Something of the same kind, of course, will be, but on a much smaller scale. Personally, Trump in his beloved Twitter account explained this decision with the desire to "save hundreds of millions of dollars for the United States." Then, the truth could not resist, and attributed: "Less tension with North Korea is also good!" If this is not considered a completely clear military-diplomatic victory of the DPRK, then I don’t know what to rank among them.
In the States, by the way, for this news many reacted very sharply. For example, Abraham Denmark, a former senior Pentagon official, described what was happening as a “free assignment,” after which no one would negotiate with the United States. And why - if they give everything back? In any case, poor John Bolton is forced to go out of his way, proving to television people that the summit in Hanoi did not become a disgrace for the head of the White House - well, what is he “disastrous” if the president “showed firmness” and, most importantly, “deepened your relationship with Kim Jong Un? ” Um ... No comment.
Who clearly won from the complete failure of the meeting in Vietnam is Russia and China. Not only because any diplomatic fiasco of the United States (all the more so loud), by definition, is in our favor. The inflexible North Korea gives the world an example of how to respond to American arrogance and attempts to "twist your arms" - just say "No." The more countries that Washington today is trying to subjugate and unilaterally make concessions in the American interests, will take this simple but extremely effective strategy into service, the sooner the "unipolar world" that is poisoning life for all mankind will come to an end, in the forefront of the struggle with which our country is today.
