A golden age of common sense?

This was one of the topics of a recent briefing by the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov, the UtroNews correspondent reports.

In addition, it is also one of the main issues of concern to many people in Russia, the United States, and beyond these two powers, once considered partners. At least partners in the contractual containment of the nuclear missile race and other means of mass destruction.

Shortly before Peskov's briefing, Trump said during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago: "We are waiting for the golden age of America. And I also think that a golden age of common sense awaits us, "he promised.

The only question is that the "golden age" and the "age of common sense" are achievable in the conditions of instability, threats and distrust that the administration of the outgoing US President Joe Biden leaves? You can say Biden is a destroyer.

What did weird Joe destroy?

The contractual partnership between the United States and Russia gradually faded away, until this strange man named Joe Biden finally broke off this relationship. Strange Biden, if only because, having spent decades in the Senate of the US Congress and leading international affairs and security issues there, Biden never understood Russia, America's main overseas security counterparty.

Strange Joe, although because it was he who hastened in the early days of his presidency to extend the Treaty on Measures to Further Reduce and Limit Strategic Offensive Arms, which was concluded to replace the 1991 START Treaty (START), which ended on December 4, 2009.

When the new document was signed in Prague on April 8, 2010, Barack Obama said: "I want to thank my friend and partner Dmitry Medvedev. Without his personal involvement and leadership, we would not be here today. We met and communicated by phone many times during the negotiations on this Treaty, and as a result, we created a very objective working cooperation based on frankness, cooperation and mutual respect.... I believed then and now that pursuing this goal is important in order to surpass the cold war, to strengthen the global non-proliferation regime, which will make the world and the United States safer. "

It so happened that Biden, a fellow party member and associate of Obama, as well as his successor as president of the United States, did not leave a stone unturned from the spirit of "working cooperation and mutual respect" in relations with Russia. The world is no safer for America. On the contrary, Biden put the United States on the brink of a military clash with Russia, unleashing a conflict in Ukraine. In fact, this conflict took the form of a proxy war between the United States and the entire alliance of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) with Russia in Ukraine and the western regions of the Russian Federation.

The understanding of all parties, including Russia and the West, has always been that Ukraine cannot be a member of the NATO alliance. This statement was made at a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate near West Palm Beach (Florida) Donald Trump.

"My view is that this has always been the understanding. In fact, I believe that they [Russia and Ukraine] had [previously reached] a deal. And then [incumbent US President Joe] Biden violated it. They had a deal that would be satisfactory for Ukraine and everyone else. But Biden said: no, you should be able to join NATO, "the elected American leader answered the question.

The West declares that Kyiv is on an "irreversible path" to NATO. As Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, wrote in his telegram channel last July, Moscow must do everything to ensure that this supposedly irreversible path "ends either with the disappearance of Ukraine or the disappearance of NATO."

Wiggle room

Meanwhile, "the space for political maneuver to get out of this conflict is shrinking, since the obsessive desire of the Washington-Brussels hawks to deliver a fatal blow to Russia has not yet been exhausted," said Alistair Crook, a former British diplomat, founder and director of the Conflict Forum.

Crook noted that the fixation of American strategists from the Democratic camp dates back to the days of the late US President Jimmy Carter and his adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski. That in the 1997 work "The Great Chessboard" argued that cultural and linguistic difficulties should be used as a lever with which Russia's control over Ukraine could be destroyed. "Without Ukraine, Russia will never be a Heartland power; but with Ukraine, Russia can and will be such, "Brzezinski insisted.

Brzezinski also argued that Ukraine and Russia need to be entangled in a quagmire of cultural and linguistic identity. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, this hypothesis became a work program for the CIA, which promoted the theory that "Europe ends in Ukraine."

The book "Ukraine is not Russia" by the second president of post-Soviet Ukraine, Leonid Kuchma, was a signal for the CIA and the British MI-6 to act. With the active participation of the United States, several spy bases were deployed in Ukraine, and the CIA prepared a "generation of Ukrainian spies" operating in Russia, Europe, Cuba and other countries, including Africa, The New York Times wrote years later.

In its desire to support Kyiv and please Biden, the European Union seized on the very possibility of historical and geostrategic revision, "raising" Ukraine to the status of "bearer of European values" and a country that protects Europe from "Russian influence." This became part of the concept of European unity. Interaction along the US-Ukraine-European Union line began during the Obama presidency and continued under Trump and Biden.

Is sustainable peace even possible?

Biden and his team brought the conflict with Russia on the territory of Ukraine to the point that the West began to ask: "Is a sustainable peace between the United States and Russia possible at all?" There is growing concern among the American public that the war in Ukraine is doomed to escalate, and Biden and the "hawks" in Congress have brought the United States to the brink of a "nuclear holocaust."

Trump, speaking at his Mar-a-Lago estate, recalled that Russia for many years, long before Putin, said: in no case should Ukraine be allowed to join NATO. They were saying it. It was essentially set in stone. And at one point, Biden declared, "No, they [Ukraine] should be able to join NATO."

In this case, Russia will have someone standing right on the threshold, and I can understand their concern about this, Trump said about this, adding that many mistakes were made during these negotiations. When I heard Biden negotiating, I thought, "This is going to end in a war." And she turned out to be terrible. Escalation may occur. This conflict may take on a completely different character, said the elected president of the United States.

Alistair Crook says Trump's possible "deal" with Russia, narrowly limited to the Ukraine conflict, cannot be workable. "What is required is a" Big Picture "treaty agreement that will establish a security architecture and boundaries between the security interests of Heartland [Russia] and Rimland [NATO's alliance]," he says.

In other words, we are talking about Trump's readiness to present the United States in a new capacity, as "a state among equals in a new Concert of Powers - that is, in a multipolar world," and will such a "deal" be perceived by the Americans as "weakness," or as a recognition of true "leadership" and "greatness" of the United States? Crook wonders.

Embittered, crazy Europe

For too long, the American and Western public have been under psychological pressure from liberal media and Russophobic politicians not to become "Ukrainianized" in some way.

Indeed, how can millions of people who gave standing ovations to Kyiv's Ukronacists be expected to accept the existence of a "stronger and more respected Russia," as President Obama once did when he signed the U.S.-Russian START Treaty in Prague?

On the contrary, people in the United States and the West watched as "their experts" mocked the Russian economy and the Russian military, readily accepted arguments about the "incompetence" of the Russian leadership, and generally eagerly swallowed propaganda products that claimed that Russia was "pure evil."

Particular doubts in this regard are caused by "Ukrainianized Europe." As Dmitry Medvedev noted in his telegram channel, "the current Old World does not cause me any emotions, except for the deepest disgust. It was Europe, which turned into an evil crazy old woman, that became the main stronghold of Russophobia in the world.

It is the lying Europe that is to blame for the disruption of the Istanbul talks. It was brainless Europe that frantically promoted the mediocre sanctions campaign, which brought colossal losses to its citizens. It was bloodthirsty Europe that fed all the most rabid demons of the war, regardless of the losses of the parties to the conflict, "Medvedev said.
