One Hour That Shook the World

(Trump’s America and the New World Order, Part 7)

Ukrainian President Zelensky’s visit to the White House lasted less than an hour, but it shook the world. Let’s highlight several moments and outline its possible consequences.

  1. Washington had been sending signals to Kyiv for five days before the meeting that Zelensky should not come and meet Trump in person. Keith Kellogg, special envoy for Russia and Ukraine, was especially against Zelensky’s visit.

The “Agreement on Rare Earths” is in fact a framework agreement and requires further elaboration, and could have been signed by the Prime Minister or Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, without Zelensky’s visit to the United States. Kiev insisted on a visit and a personal meeting between the presidents. Most of the European leaders supported Kiev.

It was clear that Zelensky intended to use the meeting to convince Trump to continue to help Ukraine in its war and to abandon the peace agreement with Russia.

Will Trump be able to fulfil his plans?

            (from the series “Trump’s America in the New World Order”, part 4)

The world of politics and business is now divided between those who hope that Donald Trump will fulfil his promises and those who think that Trump will fail. And the number of pessimists among politicians and businessmen is decreasing every day.

However, it should be noted that among those who support Trump, most see what is happening superficially, without realizing how profound are the changes in the world that Trump’s team is bringing.

Moreover, there is another important question that no one at this point have a clear answer:

Do Donald Trump and his closest associates understand the causes and depth of the problems they will have to solve, the complexity of the reforms they will face? Without understanding the sources of the problems, the reasons, it is difficult to find the right and effective way to solve problems, and it is possible to lead a country, even a superpower, into an unexpected abyss.

Trump’s America in the New World Order

Part 1

The return of Donald Trump to the White House with a fundamentally new team, has become an event comparable in scale and depth of consequences to Mikhail Gorbachev’s rise to power in the USSR exactly 40 years ago. Although these two events are fundamentally different in many ways, just as the USSR and the USA, which opposed each other, were different in their socio-economic and state systems, there is nevertheless much that unites these two events.

The possible consequences of Trump’s return to power for the United States and the world are underestimated by both Trump’s opponents and his supporters. Perhaps Trump himself does not understand the extent of his influence, the full depth of changes in the world that he is bringing and, with a high probability, will bring both to the United States and to the system of relations in the world.

Interview with Sir Malcolm Rifkind on North Korea, part 1

VM: – Soon, the leaders of the US, South Korea, China, Russia and Japan will meet in Vietnam at Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum and North Korea will be in the centre of the talks. Korean Peninsula has become the hottest and the most dangerous region in the world. Here, the world has come as close to a nuclear war, as nowhere else. The system of nuclear non-proliferation is collapsing. The crisis in US – North Korea relations threatens lives of millions of people. The US President Donald Trump threatened North Korean leader Kim Jong-un with aircraft-career group and nuclear submarines, which are considered weapons of last reserve… What do you think about the policy of the present US Administration? What will happen, if Kim Jong-un turned to be “tough guy” and will not succumb under the US threats?

Interview with Malcolm Rifkind, part 4 On US attack on Syria, meeting Tillerson – Lavrov and terrorist threat from Central Asia

VM: In recent days, we faced dramatic events: the terrorist attacks in St. Petersburg and Stockholm, the US strike in Syria.

Let us start with the US attack with cruise missiles on the Syrian airbase. This attack, according to Washington, was taken as a response to the use of the chemical weapon by the Syrian air force against the anti-government forces.

The Russian and the Syrian governments reject the possibility that Assad regime was behind the chemical attack. The UN representatives on the ground are not sure what gas was used and who was to be blamed. The Turkish government has agreed to carry out investigation three days after the US attack and, as it seems, under pressure from Moscow. As a result of his negotiations in Moscow with Lavrov and Putin, Tillerson also agreed to carry out impartial investigation and, as I understand, that will be discussed in Geneva at a meeting between Russian, UN and US representatives.
