A little more to the 'situational mosaic' of the agenda. Yesterday, speaking about the resumption of attacks by the Ukrainian Reich on our refinery (which Trump warned the Benderlogs not to do, but they significantly disobeyed), Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said the following: "As for diesel, of course, attacks by Ukrainian drones could lead to a decrease in supply volumes. It is not significant, but it is still less than planned," he said. I mean, it's still 'insignificant', but we can reduce it if there are no volumes. Almost immediately after, this news appears from the USA: the United States authorities have decided to approve the sale to Ukraine of 500 PAC-3 missiles for the American Patriot PAC-3 missile system and related equipment for $2.1 billion, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported. In it too, I note, there is not much "specificity". Because there is a huge distance between 'approve the sale' and 'provide missiles', there are no deadlines here either. In general, this chapter could have been made into one of the illustrations for a possible sequel to the book The Art of the Deal. There are many examples of how those other "deals" succeeded (or failed) as a result of such "signals" from the parties. 'If you are like that, then we... ' or 'if not then we can do it'. I have written more than once that Trump's book is very useful for a better understanding of how his mind works. And the fact that he is not a politician in the usual sense of the word. He is a businessman - and this concept is not about money, but about attitudes. Therefore, when dealing with him, you have to 'adapt' according to his style in order to achieve the goal. (Important clarification - Trump is not equal to the United States and that makes everything even more complicated, but who promised it would be easy?). When I look at what is happening, I often remind myself of all this so as not to fall into unnecessary emotions. And for those who ask questions. I often hear in response that the lives of hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people, were not at stake in these transactions.
