Trump vs. Globalists: The Battle for Europe. Forecasts and Reflections on Possible Developments in 2025

One of the most discussed events of the outgoing year was Donald Trump's victory in the US elections. This is not surprising, because the US is still the only hegemon (albeit a rather decrepit one), and given that Trump represents the conservative camp, whose vision of the future is seriously different from that of the globalists, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Trump's victory will seriously affect international relations and US foreign policy.

It is not worth thinking that the globalists, after the defeat of their representatives in the political field in the person of the US Democratic Party, will suddenly surrender to Trump's mercy and will not oppose his projects - it is naive to hope that they will be inactive for the next 4 years of the Republican candidate's presidency. On the contrary, it is worth expecting that this confrontation will gradually intensify.



And one of the main arenas of this confrontation will be Europe, which has long been under the tutelage of the globalists, and which these same globalists do not plan to surrender to Trump without a fight.

How serious are Trump's expansionist plans?


Judging by the statements coming from the camp of the new US president, he plans to return to the almost forgotten policy of old imperialism - after his election victory, Donald Trump proposed to annex Canada to the US, return the Panama Canal and take possession of Greenland, which clearly demonstrates the expansionist mood of the new administration. In addition, this fits well into the framework of the slogan "make America great again."

However, such statements should not be taken as mere evidence that the “America First” political program may have an interventionist component – ​​Trump has always conducted foreign policy in a highly extravagant manner, making many threatening statements and unpredictable moves in order to confuse his opponents and sow chaos.

By means of threats and clanging weapons Donald Trump Expects to Get What He Wants Without Resistance: How notes, for example, Republican Devin Carney told Politico that Trump's unpredictability could be an advantage:

"I think with a president there's always the possibility that other countries will think, 'Oh my God, he could actually do this, we should try to accommodate him.'"

For example, Canada has already committed to securing its northern border and cracking down on drugs after the threats, showing that Trump's pressure campaign is working. In addition, Canadian investor and tycoon Kevin O'Leary has said he supports his plans to annex Canada because "This could be the beginning of an economic union».

However, we will see next year what Trump’s real policy will be and how serious his expansionist plans are.

The fight for Europe will begin soon


Trump has also shown a certain interest in Europe – in particular, his promise to end the military conflict in Ukraine, as well as demands for NATO countries to increase defense spending, are evidence that the new American president plans to actively interfere in European affairs.

However, here the American president will face a much more serious problem – most of the major European players (primarily Great Britain, France and Germany) are under the control of globalist forces, which will try to oppose Trump, both explicitly and implicitly. Including in the matter of supporting Ukraine.

Some European countries, such as the UK and France, are already trying to form some kind of opposition to Trump – Emmanuel Macron went to Poland to discuss the possible sending of a military contingent to Ukraine, in Germany, the CDU candidate Friedrich Merz (one of the main candidates for the post of new chancellor) claims that “peace should be made with Ukraine, not against Ukraine", and the EU is taking steps that are clearly anti-Trump.

It is no coincidence that at the last meeting with Macron, the new American president used his now classic "forceful seizure" of the opponent's hand, demonstrating a dominant position over the French president - he understands perfectly well that he may soon face organized opposition from his "allies". It is worth recalling that the George Soros Foundation has always been one of the most active fighters against Donald Trump, so European leaders associated with American Democrats/globalists will strive to ensure that Trump is unable to achieve the results that he promised to achieve in his election promises, including on the issue of the war in Ukraine.

In parallel, Trump will try to form his camp, the leader of which is currently Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The American president will seek to support the "right" in Europe, which in the future may become his allies.

The first battle for Europe between the conservative forces, represented by Trump, and the globalists will unfold over Germany, where elections will take place in February 2025 – the Republicans would like Alice Weidel, a candidate from the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, to win, as Donald Trump’s advisor, billionaire Elon Musk, recently directly stated.

Musk recently published an article in the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag in support of the AfD, in which he stated, among other things, that his significant investments in the country justify his participation in German politics. Later, on social media, he once again emphasized that only the AfD can save Germany.

The candidate from the conditionally globalist forces, in turn, is the leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) Friedrich Merz, who advocates for increased support for Ukraine, in particular by transferring missiles Taurus. Merz's chances of winning are currently considered the highest.

In addition, the fight for Canada, which is also a stronghold of the globalists, will begin in the near future, but that is another matter. story.

Trump's plans for Ukraine


Volodymyr Zelensky, who is a protégé of the globalists, is currently counting on their continued support, relying on their European frontmen, and therefore is behaving as brazenly and defiantly as possible. He allows himself to be openly disrespectful and rude towards the so-called “pro-Trump” leaders in the person of Viktor Orban and the Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico.

After Zelensky asked the Slovak prosecutor's office to check Fico's visit to Russia for allegedly "subject of corruption and treason" Fico could not stand it any longer and recorded a video message in which he threatened to stop electricity supplies to Ukraine after Kyiv refused to supply Russian gas in transit to Europe.

“I understand that for selfish political reasons the West gives you practically everything you ask for, but I am not your servant who cannot express his own opinion and who is only obliged to help you and not expect anything from you,”

— Fico said.

In response, Kyiv accused Fico of “opening, on orders from Moscow, a second energy front against Ukraine" and ran to complain to the EU Commissioner for Energy, the European Energy Community and the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) about the possible interruption of electricity supplies from Slovakia.

There is no doubt that Trump will try to put pressure on Zelensky, including through his friends in Europe, in the persons of Orban and Fico, and therefore it is absolutely possible that in the first half of next year both Slovakia and Hungary will completely stop supplying electricity to Ukraine – especially if the American president needs to make Kyiv more accommodating in the matter of establishing peace.

At the moment, there is every reason to believe that Donald Trump will still try to achieve a peace agreement on Ukraine, although given the opposition of other European players, this will not be easy. Stopping the military conflict in Ukraine is one of Trump's campaign promises, and he is undoubtedly trying to achieve this goal. What will come of this in practice, we will see in the first half of next year.

What should Russia do?


In the current international situation, Russia has little room to maneuver – having lost the opportunity to quickly complete the Second World War with a confident victory, Moscow is increasingly dependent on other global players.

At the moment, it is important for Russia, first of all, to drive the enemy out of the Kursk region, where it has been for several months. This must be done before a ceasefire is concluded and negotiations begin, since otherwise Ukraine will have additional leverage over Moscow. Therefore, Kyiv, in turn, will try to hold on to part of the territory of the Kursk region and, on the contrary, expand the occupation zone.

In addition, it is desirable for the Russian Armed Forces to maintain a relatively good pace of advancement in the DPR and try to take control of Kurakhovo by the end of the New Year holidays (which is theoretically quite feasible). Successes in the SVO zone to a certain extent strengthen Russia's negotiating position, but they are tactical, not strategic, and their impact on the overall situation is limited.

Politically, it would be logical for Russia to play along with Donald Trump, who promised to “prevent a nuclear war,” and take more decisive steps than simply attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure facilities or a single Oreshnik strike on a plant in Dnepropetrovsk (Dnipro), which caused limited damage. It is unlikely that such actions are capable of seriously scaring anyone and sending the necessary signal to the West.

We are not talking, of course, about a strategic nuclear strike (that would be unreasonable), but, for example, about a strike on government buildings in Kyiv, the targeted elimination of several high-ranking Ukrainian officials, or a single use of TNW on some strategic facility. This would not affect the overall strategic situation in any way, but to a certain extent it would affect the political one – for now, Europe is still afraid of a nuclear war, and this card could be played.

        This is a very straightforward view of the situation. In fact, it is NOT advantageous for Russia to drive the enemy out of the Kursk region for a long time for the following reasons:
        Firstly, holding this bridgehead is very expensive for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and all the damage that the Ukrainian Nazis could cause to the infrastructure and the local population they have already caused.
        Secondly, this is an objective reason for Moscow to refuse negotiations, rather than to seek a solution to the problem. Now in the patriotic information environment the situation in the Kursk region is presented as Russia's weakness, but in reality this is NOT quite true. The invasion has ALREADY been allowed, so it is not possible to cancel this fact. And since this is the case, it is necessary to get the maximum benefit from it. And this benefit consists in the fact that Russia can refuse negotiations at least until the Kiev junta itself withdraws its troops from the Kursk region, which will inevitably entail negative political consequences for it, since it will be another and very important retreat on a bridgehead that has ALREADY been declared a "victory" over Russia.

          And the fact that there are khikhly in the Kursk region is a blow to Russia’s authority, and not among the West, but among neutrals, is not taken into account?

          Well, and refusal to negotiate can happen under any circumstances, if there is will, of course.

          Maybe you will also call the occupation of part of Russia a cunning plan of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation?

            No, for the following reasons:
            1. The blow (the main one) to authority was dealt immediately after the breakthrough occurred;
            2. The "neutrals" you named are states and all their services and agencies have access to confidential information. Intelligence services, even in the most run-down state, have such a completeness of information that you and I here (commentators on the articles) could never even dream of. All persons with high-level state access have an order of magnitude more complete picture of the state of affairs in the SVO zone. And therefore they rely not on feelings and authorities, but on facts... The Ukrainian Armed Forces are objectively bogged down in the Kursk region, the Russian Armed Forces managed to tie them up on this bridgehead... as a consequence, the weakening of Ukrainian defense lines;
            3. The Russian leadership is demonstrating composure and calm, which further enhances the positive effect of tying up the enemy’s forces.
            4. Russia has to wage war almost alone in any case, and the few allies it has are not fitful young ladies and will not run to change sides because of the events in Kursk Oblast. That is, if they do run, it will DEFINITELY not be because of this. But for now, everything is working out in Russia's favor, that's a fact;
            5. The political gains resulting from the capture of the Kursk bridgehead by the Ukrainian Armed Forces may completely outweigh the negative effects, but it is too early to write about this... but if you understand, then I don’t need to explain to you what we are talking about.

            Diplomacy is a science. It's not that simple. Of course, you can refuse and resist. But when you have reasons on your side, your position is MUCH stronger in any case.

              I understand this as a dismal anti-crisis a la DIMK MORF under the management of Konashenkov.
              Because an unexpected invasion is a one-time negative factor for the country's authority and the authority of the leadership within the country, which can be attributed to intelligence failure, etc., but the inability to dislodge the occupiers for almost half a year is already a permanent factor. I understand it as a demonstration of the weak performance of both the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.
              Why don't you understand this, that's what's not clear.

                I suggested that you reread my comment and decide for yourself based on the highlighted fragment whether I call it:
                Quote: Vladimir_2U
                occupation of part of Russia by a cunning plan of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation

                Well, I will ask you ONCE AGAIN, from the fragment of my comment that I have provided, can one conclude that I consider the occupation of part of Russia to be a cunning plan of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation or not?
                No need to "skip the topic" or "shift the blame", answer the question clearly!

                Quote: Vladimir_2U
                Because an unexpected invasion is a one-time negative factor for the country's authority and the authority of the leadership within the country, which can be attributed to the failure of intelligence, etc., but the inability to drive out the occupiers for almost six months is already a constantly acting factor.

                I am ready to accept this as an argument. But war is waged first and foremost for the sake of victory. Never heard of losing a battle but winning a war..., but it is possible to win a battle but lose a war. So, the redeployment of Russian Armed Forces forces to the Kursk direction was the enemy's true plan. All the "explanations" that it was supposedly for the sake of a position in negotiations appeared from the junta later, when the initial plan failed, which their own bloggers trumpeted in the "everything is lost" mode, until Bankova and I were told "shut up". The plan was to create a threat of seizure of the Kursk NPP and to redeploy significant forces of the Russian Armed Forces from the LBS in Ukraine. So, I return to what was left unsaid above, WAR IS WARRED FOR VICTORY, NOT FOR HYPE IN THE MEDIA! Especially since "THEIR" MEDIA will not tell the truth in any case, and their advertisers and marketers are top-notch specialists in politics, they will tell it in such a way that people will believe it.
                Thus, Russia and its Armed Forces essentially don't care what Western media writes, how "they" present it there. It is important not to succumb to provocation and move towards victory. But in "our" media, all sorts of doomsayers can really stir up a wave of... well... either doomsayers or CIPSO agents, it is hard to tell, since some simply like to stir up treason in the RuNet, while others are required to do so... and how can one understand who has what motives? They all look the same to outsiders.
                So the events in Kursk region are a blunder... and not only the intelligence services, as always in the world of capitalism, wanted to get by on the cheap and did not spend money on creating SUFFICIENT border coverage, but the enemy, with the assistance of Western intelligence systems and analysts, found a gap. But don't get carried away and transfer troops, acting according to the enemy's plan. Of course, you can ask, why over the past months they DIDN'T collect additional reserves and throw them at Kursk... well, everything is obvious here, there are NO reserves WITHOUT declaring a new, at least partial mobilization. If you live in Russia, and do not eat here from the Central Intelligence Agency, being a resident of an independent country, then you know that in our country it is not that we don't have enough soldiers, we don't have enough PEOPLE on a national scale... That is, in order to collect several hundred thousand more soldiers (men), they need to be taken from some sectors of the PEACEFUL economy for now. Only partially the Russian economy has been transferred to a war footing, only in terms of the military-industrial complex, but otherwise Russia and we in it live everyday civilian life, which is NOT SMALL. Fatigue accumulates from war. Can you even imagine HOW tired the population of the former Ukraine is of the complete collapse of the economy, the lack of work, hiding in apartments from the TCKans and creeping permanent mobilization? Do you want this in Russia? Do not rush, if the existing resources stop allowing Russia to win in this specific war, then you will have mobilization? By the way, will you specifically go to LBS? This is precisely why, by the way, the North Koreans appeared at the front. The DPRK ends up getting experienced soldiers, they have their own conflict coming up. And Russia is postponing the need to completely transfer its economy to a war footing and another mobilization...

                Why don't you understand this, that's what's not clear.

                I understand that you are reasoning like a layman, who wants everything handed to him on a silver platter and in the best possible way... and your General Staff is weak and the Supreme Commander is not in charge... but in reality, it is just plain panic. On the other hand, without you, such a correct and understanding person, the RF Armed Forces obviously cannot cope. You most likely should not wait for mobilization, but volunteer now... so to speak, correct the situation on the ground. But don't tell me about the hard and thankless lot of a private, and where else would you be sent, to the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces? And what will you do there? Write angry comments? We are all "strategists on the couch on weekends" here... And I, of course, am no different from you in this, we are both NOT generals, but I suggest you not to stir up trouble. Criticism is needed, but to the point and without emotion. I also like to criticize our government and the capitalist elite, but there is no need to "go too far". Before Putin, Russia was not capable of anything at all. And here we are not only confronting half a hundred very organized and united NATO countries, but also winning... slowly winning, but that is how it should be, so that the hysteria of politicians in European countries does not go off the scale to the level of escalating into World War III... it's like with a frog, you have to cook it slowly... that is exactly what the Russian leadership is doing... and it must be admitted that there are results and very impressive ones. I used to be a supporter of deep operations, general mobilization and a march to the English Channel (you can search the history of my comments here), but I have to admit that Putin's plan works, moreover, it turns out that it also takes into account that during the SVO it is necessary to simultaneously wash away the rot of officials and the top leadership of the Ministry of Defense... Politics is a complicated matter, here if you don't have a magic wand in your hands, stamping your foot won't fix everything... in any case, you need to rely on people, and there aren't that many people and the choice of solutions is not great. So I completely understand, it's you who don't understand something... well, finally understand... we are winning... We will also liberate the Kursk region...
                Have a nice day!

                    Here again, where did you get this from me? Do you understand that you yourself are attributing some thoughts to me, and then you yourself object to them?
                    !!! Causing direct damage is the goal of any war. The warring parties cause each other direct damage. But not only direct, they also cause economic (from sanctions) and reputational (informational) damage, all these other types of damage ARE NOT DIRECT, read the definition of the concept of "direct damage" in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation
                    "Direct damage is the destruction of property or deterioration of its condition, as well as the need to incur costs for repairs or incur additional costs for the acquisition of property, or for compensation for damage caused to third parties."

                    Direct damage is understood to mean damage to material assets. I have already written above that damage (most of it) to infrastructure facilities has either already been done or will be done just during the liberation, see the quote:
                    Quote: alex-defensor
                    and all the damage that the Ukrainian Nazis could cause to the infrastructure and the local population they have already caused.


                    But you were not focusing on direct damage, but on reputational damage... that's what the conversation was about. And now you've switched to direct damage?

So, the redeployment of Russian Armed Forces forces to the Kursk direction was the enemy's true plan. All the "explanations" that it was supposedly for the sake of a position in negotiations appeared from the junta later, when the initial plan failed, which their own bloggers trumpeted in the "everything is lost" mode, until Bankova and I were told "shut up". The plan was to create a threat of seizure of the Kursk NPP and to redeploy significant forces of the Russian Armed Forces from the LBS in Ukraine. So, I return to what was left unsaid above, WAR IS WARRED FOR VICTORY, NOT FOR HYPE IN THE MEDIA! Especially since "THEIR" MEDIA will not tell the truth in any case, and their advertisers and marketers are top-notch specialists in politics, they will tell it in such a way that people will believe it.
                    Thus, Russia and its Armed Forces essentially don't care what Western media writes, how "they" present it there. It is important not to succumb to provocation and move towards victory. But in "our" media, all sorts of doomsayers can really stir up a wave of... well... either doomsayers or CIPSO agents, it is hard to tell, since some simply like to stir up treason in the RuNet, while others are required to do so... and how can one understand who has what motives? They all look the same to outsiders.
                    So the events in Kursk region are a blunder... and not only the intelligence services, as always in the world of capitalism, wanted to get by on the cheap and did not spend money on creating SUFFICIENT border coverage, but the enemy, with the assistance of Western intelligence systems and analysts, found a gap. But don't get carried away and transfer troops, acting according to the enemy's plan. Of course, you can ask, why over the past months they DIDN'T collect additional reserves and throw them at Kursk... well, everything is obvious here, there are NO reserves WITHOUT declaring a new, at least partial mobilization. If you live in Russia, and do not eat here from the Central Intelligence Agency, being a resident of an independent country, then you know that in our country it is not that we don't have enough soldiers, we don't have enough PEOPLE on a national scale... That is, in order to collect several hundred thousand more soldiers (men), they need to be taken from some sectors of the PEACEFUL economy for now. Only partially the Russian economy has been transferred to a war footing, only in terms of the military-industrial complex, but otherwise Russia and we in it live everyday civilian life, which is NOT SMALL. Fatigue accumulates from war. Can you even imagine HOW tired the population of the former Ukraine is of the complete collapse of the economy, the lack of work, hiding in apartments from the TCKans and creeping permanent mobilization? Do you want this in Russia? Do not rush, if the existing resources stop allowing Russia to win in this specific war, then you will have mobilization? By the way, will you specifically go to LBS? This is precisely why, by the way, the North Koreans appeared at the front. The DPRK ends up getting experienced soldiers, they have their own conflict coming up. And Russia is postponing the need to completely transfer its economy to a war footing and another mobilization...


                    I propose to close the discussion here. I will not see any new arguments from you, which means there is no point in writing me a response... have a good day.

      We just need to do our military work well as far as possible, and provide the rear with as much assistance as possible to the front, and then it won’t matter to us what they think in the West.

        "having lost the opportunity to complete the SVO with a confident victory in a short time" In other words, the Russian General Staff, intelligence, generals and political advisers to VVP have shown that they do not have a handle on the situation at all. They promised a triumphal march across Ukraine, but got a bloody meat grinder. This is a consequence of VVP's personnel policy.

Ask yourself the question "what will be the fate" of coal mines, deposits of iron, titanium, uranium, hundreds of thousands of hectares of black soil, etc. after Russia's victory? That each participant of the SVO will receive an estate and slaves (as Hitler promised his warriors)? No one will receive anything. Everything will be distributed to oligarchs close to the body. These are the true reasons for the war. These are the true beneficiaries. This is why hundreds of thousands of Russian guys are dying. The reason for any war is robbery and territory.

                    War is robbery. I propose to give 50% of the profit from the conquest to the state budget. And divide the remaining 50% between the participants of the SVO. Use the principle as it was divided on pirate ships
                    Private 1 share, sergeant 2 shares, ensign 3 shares, lieutenant 5 shares, captain 7 shares, major 8 shares, colonel 9 shares, major general - 10 shares, lieutenant general - 1 1 share. The rest of the military officials from the 50% that went to the state budget. Moreover, the shares are multiplied by a time coefficient: less than 10 days - 0,5, 10 days - 1,1, 20 days, 1,2, 30 days - 1,3, 2 months - 1,6, 3 months, -1,9, etc.

    Firstly, it is very naive to expect any negotiations. There is a dead end with Ukraine. Russia has a tough condition - first recognition of the results of Istanbul and only then negotiations. And recognition of Istanbul is fatal for Ukraine. There is a 99% probability that control over the country will be lost. And over the army.
    Russia's position has long been "well, you propose something, and we'll see." And neither Trump nor Europe can or will do anything about it.
    Moreover, Trump's task is not only to crush the "deep state" aka "Democrats" in the US, but also to replace the "democratic" regimes in Europe and Canada with pro-Trump ones. Otherwise, these regimes will cease to be allies of the US. And allies are needed. So far, Trump's assets are only Hungary, Slovakia and Italy. Not bad for a start, but the regimes in Germany and France need to be changed. An application for Canada has already been submitted.

    I will repeat myself, but the theory that, supposedly, the time of empires is in the past, is a false theory. The US under Trump will move forward creating an empire. And Russia left the empire in 1991, left the state in which it had been at least since the time of Ivan the Terrible, i.e. 400 years.
    It turns out that the US, by creating an empire that includes Greenland, Canada and Panama, is moving forward at a time when Russia already existed perfectly well when the US was not even a thing, and Russia is moving backwards, throwing away the only state structure acceptable to it - the Empire, not to mention the state borders that were thrown back 400 years with the Russians and Russian-speaking people abandoned there.
    Just don't think that the natives of Greenland, Panama and Canada won't greet the Americans with flowers and songs, just as, say, the natives of the Baltics greeted the Russians in 1940, when the Russian Red Empire USSR was expanding the borders of its Empire. They will greet them with flowers and songs and greetings.
    But the whole paradox is that now in Russia there will be people who will say that if the USA can become an empire, then today's Russia can return to the state of an empire and become an empire again. Moreover, this will be said by the same people who, like lackeys, carried briefcases and umbrellas for the main destroyers of the Red Empire of the USSR - Yeltsin, Sobchak and the team. The question is - why was it necessary to destroy the Russian Empire, moreover, to please the USA, so that later, chewing snot, we could watch as the USA creates its empire?

It's generally doubtful that if the country's leaders are militant scoundrels, they'll be prevented from building any papers from their subjects and neighbors. And in the imperial empire itself, under a vegetable emperor, boyars and merchants will rule in their regions.

            Great question!
            Right on target, no joke!
            So what would Trump like to build?
            1. The most obvious is a wall on the border. To limit the influx of non-citizens.
            What follows from this?
            Reliance on internal labor reserves.
            Trump is going to have to get blacks off welfare and into work. That's not why they learned to play basketball.
            Trump understands that financial instruments alone cannot replace a "simple product." Sooner or later, the vast mass of slackers will see their incomes sag and demand "to take and divide everything equally."
            2. Expand the zone of influence in the borderlands, seize sparsely populated lands. Calmly grow resources without serious overseas conflicts.
            This is an expansion of the number of states, a reliable system.
            3. Transitioning NATO to self-sufficiency. It is obvious that in its current state the EU cannot afford additional military expenditures, but it is also not desirable for the EU to be able to afford them at its own expense.

            Let's try to analyze these three factors.
            1. The similarity with the Monroe Doctrine is noticeable. America does not interfere in the affairs of Europe, Europe does not interfere in the affairs of America.
            2. Where will the money go? Not to support the "anti-communist bloc" in Europe. The money should go inside America. Not even to the "backyard" of Latin America.
            3. What percentage of efforts will go to foreign policy, and what to butting heads with the "financiers"? Financiers want to get easy money, spinning the whole world on the rod of their flexible financial policy. But everything has its limits, and part of the world is being cut out of the dollar zone because of sanctions.
            And, for example, Somalia is in no hurry to improve America’s well-being.
            So after the inauguration, Trump will have to clash with the money printing clan, which is very likely.

            Now about what Trump can build.
            1. It is unlikely that we will be able to return to the education system of the times of the economic leap. We will have to continue to buy smart Taiwanese.
            2. Suppress the BLM turmoil? By handing out free drugs?
            3. Revive industry? The innovative sector is quite possible. But heavy industry is questionable. Repopulate the deserted small towns of the rust belt?
            4. Financiers may habitually use bad political technologies against their own country. Like Islamic radicals, for example, attacking Trump's policies.

    One of the main arenas of this confrontation will be Europe, which has long been under the tutelage of the globalists, and which these same globalists do not plan to surrender to Trump without a fight.

    What kind of "confrontation"? Author, do TNK/TNB have fundamentally different goals? Yes, their "hooting" has a synergistic effect, with minor adjustments from the so-called "democrats" and "republicans" in the course of implementing globalization and turning the entire world into a single formatted digital concentration camp. The methods are slightly different, but the goal is the same. Therefore, it is unclear what kind of "fundamental confrontation" in the camp of world globalists the author is talking about...

    Russia has only one way, it is to build up muscles in the form of an army and navy, and to form a domestic market with the help of its industry. No matter what, as they say, but we need our own 100% aviation, auto industry, machine tool industry. And reasonable export, without selling raw materials for pennies and not allowing oligarchs to drink away the people's wealth. Once upon a time, we did not sell raw materials at all and somehow lived, developed, even flew into space. Return to the fact that industry is the main thing, not banks. soldier

    Russia's inability to win and deprive Ukraine of statehood predetermines the bargaining.
    Trump cannot leave the EU without support, which is going to defeat Russia on the battlefield, and, suffering huge political and economic losses in competition with China, cannot disperse forces and resources on two fronts.
    The deal with the Russian Federation will allow a ceasefire to be established, and the EU will be able to develop Ukraine’s resources and increase its political, economic and military potential, which is in the interests of the United States.
    The terms of a separate deal are subject to discussion - the division of Ukraine along the front line or along the administrative borders of the new provinces of the Russian Federation, what sanctions will be lifted from the Russian Federation and how the Russian Federation will thank the US for this - support the cancellation of Iran's nuclear program, the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, neutrality in relations between the US and China, and other issues.

    It seems that people and readers are being deliberately fooled.

    The president and the government are the representatives of the interests of the ruling class. The capitalists.
    And it is profitable for the Americans to strengthen their influence in the world with Putin's hands. To consolidate NATO, weaken Europe, increase exports (a detailed article about this is here - "Why everything is wrong...." was taken down. They are afraid of the truth)

    Well, as for the use of tactical nuclear weapons... The authors on
    They probably know that even China is a guarantor of its non-use in Ukraine. And although the agreements are unclear, but... China has pulled up our zealous talkers several times, IMHO... (the media presented it softly, but how it really is... the question)

    Trump's intention to make the US a great country again at anyone's expense and with the expectation of making the US a great country says a lot. For this, he will destroy Europe, create military conflicts and hotbeds of tension all over the world. He will not create any peace anywhere at his behest. Including Ukraine. Trump is chaos, this is complete destruction of everything in the name of the well-being of the US. The globalists are very happy with this and that is why they allowed him to win the election. So we have an agreement! So... There will be no confrontation between Trump and the globalists. Everything has already been discussed. Russia has not yet shown up for the war. Still its own... But no operation can last for years. It is very naive for someone to think and believe that this war will end by disarming Ukraine and Europe. No. It is only moving from a passive to an active state. Everything is just beginning! The period of the beginning of a holy war is coming. Whose faith wins in the world will be the rules and rights for the next decades. If someone does not understand this, then they are making a mistake. History goes in circles. The right to sit at the table and decide the fate of the world is achieved only by war and victory! No agreements, no meetings! Only victory!

    I agree with the author, Trump will be thwarted in Europe. There hasn't been a war party like this since WW2. If Trump's ideas are acceptable, we will have to agree, even with some concessions, play along with him, but it's not obvious, otherwise - a war of attrition for another 10 years. Europe has enough money and weapons to supply the dancers. In a bad scenario, they will bring in an expeditionary force of 70 thousand, but they will stubbornly believe in victory over Russia.

Otherwise, we will get another continuation of Minsk-1, the "Normandy format", "Minsk-2", "Istanbul agreements", when Ukraine wiped its ass with these very "documents" even before the ink of the signatories dried on them! And any potential agreement must stipulate an immediate, without warning, disarming strike against Ukraine at the slightest suspicion of Ukraine's intentions to violate this agreement.

    Analytics presupposes insight into the essence of what is happening, only then do forecasts based on it have any value. Why does Trump need peace in Ukraine? Why do Orban and Fico support Trump (as the author claims here)?

Without answers to these questions, all the recommendations voiced here to the Russian government are worthless.

In addition, it is worth remembering that the ranks of these anti-globalists already include characters like the same Argentine darling, that is, openly pro-American gaskets.
