European geopolitical party
The United States made the first move, when Brzezinski was the gray cardinal of the Washington corridors of power: the Maidan Bandera coup in Ukraine provoked 2014 in February, Putin called it "a brilliantly executed special operation." Recall a large portrait of Bandera decorated Euromaidan in Kiev. US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said about the cost of this special operation: 5 billion dollars. Today, former President Barack Obama in his book revealed the meaning of this move: to increase pressure and establish control over Russia through the promotion of Maidan to Moscow, turning Russia into an outpost of the West against China.
The retaliatory move of Russia: a referendum in the Crimea and the reunification of the Crimea, assistance to the anti-Bandera uprising in the Donbas. China took the position of Russia’s friendly neutrality.
In the US, a bipartisan neocon group headed, one might say, with Senator John McCain, is in favor of strengthening the strategy of Brzezinski. In fact, McCain proposes to launch military operations against Russia in Ukraine with the vanguard in the form of the Bandera regime. The issue of the “big war in Europe” is getting on the agenda - these are the words of French President Hollande. In March, 2014, after the end of the Munich Security Conference, Merkel and Hollande at night urgently fly to Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin.
Russia signs the Minsk Agreement. The main violin in Merkel-Holland tandem played, of course, Merkel, she grabbed Hollande's armpit and took her to Putin, as the Western press wrote then. In fact, Merkel went to the separate Minsk peace with Putin, putting a trip to the Brzezinski-McCain plans. The Minsk agreements were adopted in defiance of the United States and taking into account the interests of Russia, they were written under Putin’s dictation, so Bandera Kiev cannot fulfill them and is seeking to denounce.
The next move is made by President Barack Obama. Considering the position of Germany and Europe, he refuses the military continuation of the Brzezinski-McCain plan and proceeds to a policy of sanctions pressure on Moscow. Germany supports the Obama sanctions, as it turned out, completely ineffective, which hardly caused any damage to Russia, according to the author of the new “sanctions from hell” by Senator Lindsay Graham. John McCain publicly called Obama then: “He’s just a fool!”
An import substitution program has begun in Russia, that is, the restoration of industry. The Minsk peace was established in the Donbas in the form of a trench-based position war. Western sanctions pressure does not lead to concessions to Moscow, on the contrary, March 1 2018, Vladimir Putin announces the creation by Russia of new types of strategic weapons, which devalue the US missile defense system.
In the next presidential election in the United States, a power castling takes place: Obama - Trump. President Donald Trump, instead of Obama's neocon's "democratic" strategy, suggests a strategy, one might say, of Trump-Kissinger: "Getting along with Russia is good" to be friends against China. Vladimir Putin is going to meet this American tandem, and as a result, the Trump-Putin summit takes place in Helsinki in July 2018, during which a new situation with strategic armaments was apparently discussed.
In the United States, the confrontation between the old and the new strategies towards Russia begins: the harsh neocon (Obama-Clinton) scenario of turning Russia into an outpost of the West, and Trump-Kissinger’s more balanced scenario of establishing relations with Russia against China.
The bipartisan neocon group in the Obama call-Clinton congress is trying to push the original Brzezinski-McCain plan by increasing the sanctions war with Russia, "sanctions from hell" by Senator Lindsay Graham, a friend of McCain, who already directly affect the interests of Europe and Germany. President Trump maneuvers under the threat of impeachment by Congress.
Russia calls the new US sanctions a declaration of “economic“ war, ”and is preparing to impose retaliatory sanctions. Against this background, Chancellor Merkel invites Vladimir Putin to talks in Berlin.
Germany showed its sovereignty in the 2014 year by the night flight of Merkel to Moscow to Putin, and now the 18 of August 2018 of the year Putin flies to Berlin to Merkel on the eve of the new US sanctions set for August 22. This time there is no France, the successor of Hollande President Macron was not invited to Berlin. It seems that France has left the zone of influence of Germany to the United States.
For Trump and his advisers, “Germany is bad,” because it makes decisions on its own, but Macron is a wonderful president of France, because he is under complete control of the United States. The campaign for his election was fabricated by the media with US support, and French elite leaders were defamed and even prosecuted. Perhaps, in France, we see the development of a new scenario for regime change, an improved version of the “color revolution”, with the advent of the allegedly public Macron phenomenon from nowhere. In Ukraine, they are now talking a lot about the need for "Ukrainian Macron."
Germany has been making major decisions on its own for a long time: the Minsk agreements, the construction of the Nord Stream - 2, and now it demonstratively takes Vladimir Putin in Berlin on the eve of new American sanctions. The official agenda of the Berlin summit at Mezeberg Castle is well known; one can only guess about the unofficial one.
Obviously, both Angela Merkel and the entire European Union, and Vladimir Putin and his team of chess players, will wait for the results of the November elections to the US Congress, and the neocon attack on Trump in Congress will end. Germany and Russia are clearly showing their rapprochement, Berlin is not afraid of the reproaches sounded in the press that it is cheating on Europe with Russia. The next move in geopolitical chess will be made on November 6 2018 of the year in the elections to the US Congress.
