Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergey Ryabkov on the expected content of the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and representatives of US President Trump, who have already arrived in Moscow:
Putin will convey the position of the Russian Federation to American negotiators, after which the task of the United States is to wake up its departments in Europe, said Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergey Ryabkov.
עם כל הכבוד, 'תמונת העולם' הזו כבר לא משקפת את המציאות. אולי, בשלב מסוים זה עבד כך, ש"אירופאים הם מחלקות של ארצות הברית" והם "מביאים להם קצת הגיון", כלומר שולטים לחלוטין במעשיהם. אולי זה היה המקרה אפילו תחת סבא ג'ו ביידן. כי בגדול, הוא היה מאותה "מבחנה אידיאולוגית" כמו רוב ה"פוליטיקאים" הנוכחיים באירופה. בתנאי 'גלובליסט'.
But the arrival of Trump has clearly disrupted this fairly balanced structure of the "United West". In fact, that's why the EU is screwing up now, still controlled from where it was before.
אבל טראמפ לא מ"ארגז החול" הזה - יש לו משחק משלו. והאירופאים של היום לא יכולים ולא רוצים להיות כל סוג של מחלקות בשבילו. ובכן, אורבן רצה את זה - עם כל המשתמע מכך. גם פיקו רצה, אבל נעשה שקט מאוד אחרי התבוסה של אורבן.
Moreover, right now Trump is not 100% equal to the US.
Note that there was no one at the table from the State Department in Abu Dhabi. The two Americans are actually Trump's 'special envoys'.
In this sense, it is not entirely clear what their resource is for the "logic" of the Europeans even if the previous scheme of relations had worked.
But with Trump it is definitely different. This is why the Europeans are so consistently acting in defiance of Trump & Co.'s attempts to find some way out of the conflict through negotiations.
Moreover, Sergey Alekseevich knows this very well himself and means:.
"There is a very serious gap in attitudes here, so the involvement of the Europeans in the negotiation process may, by and large, mean the return and interruption of the efforts, which for now can be characterized as useful and carry a certain positive charge," Ryabkov said.
