Trump is Russia's Worst Nightmare

With the Trump-Russia narrative dying a well deserved death it is time to acknowledge reality. Despite rhetoric that is friendly to Russia, mainly because Trump is attempting to use Russia as a counterbalance to China which he views as the real threat, the policies Trump implements are actually very harmful to Russia. There really is no comparison to the previous administration where Russia and its allies were allowed to get away with murder.

Energy

The Russian economy is dependent on oil and natural gas. If the prices for these are high then Russia does better and if its low then they do worse. By encouraging American companies to drill for oil and produce natural gas President Trump increases the supply of these products in the market. The more supply of something the lower its price weakening the Russian economy.

Middle East

There are two main factions in the Middle East. The Sunni camp headed by Saudi Arabia and the Shia camp headed by Iran. Since there are always fewer Shia states than Sunni states the Sunni states that want to replace Saudi Arabia or break away from their group tend to side with the Shia as well. Historically the Sunni bloc has sided with the US while the Shia block has sided with Russia.

President Trump has given the Saudis leeway to use any and all methods to go after Iran which is why we are seeing the diplomatic situation in Qatar. Qatar and Iran share the worlds largest natural gas field which the Iranian economy is dependent upon. The Saudis and the other Sunni nations in the region have blockaded them in an effort to end that relationship crippling Iran's economy and invalidating Russia's principal ally in the region.

Please note that with the Iran deal Obama actually strengthened Iran and by extension Russia in the region.

NATO

Most left leaning analysts would insist that Trump has weakened Europe and Nato against Russia. These analysts refuse to acknowledge one thing that most American citizens, whether Democrats or Republicans, know. The US does not have the willpower to fight another war. Make no mistake it has the technical capability to do so. The fact is 15 years of unending war in the Middle East have driven war exhaustion so high that the public will not support any future wars. Even if we pull out from the Middle East completely tomorrow it would still take some time for public sentiment to recover.

This is not lost on Putin and other world leaders. This is why he was confident he would face no military retaliation when he went after Crimea. By forcing the European countries to rearm themselves President Trump is creating a Europe which can defend itself against Russian aggression even without US support. Even with the example of Crimea Europe refuses to prepare for this and have to be forced to do so. A strong Europe is the best deterrent against Russia.

The Trump-Russia narrative is not only fake news it does not make logical sense as Trump is weakening Russia with every move.

Not saying much, he's Americas as well.... Canada, Mexico Germany china to name just a few...

Trump is a pragmatist who is more than willing to deal so I don't know where you get the idea he would be put off by realpolitik. Trump hasn't had luck with congress but I don't know anyone who would, at this point.

Putin is less dysfunctional.

Unless they are democrats, or much of the gop......

 

[Bill]

If you are the head of your Party, and your Party has complete control of both bodies of Congress and they still can't get passed legislation that they have been promising and working on for seven years, you got to question the leadership involved. If the President is this great "deal maker" that his followers believe he is he should have handled the situation long ago

He might be a pragmatist, but he has never experienced a hard core player as Putin who has been in the game for decades and has a history that shows he is easily willing to go to the extreme. As I said above, it should be a learning experience for the President, lets just hopes he puts his ego aside and learns quick

Not sure he has learned much yet, 6 months in...... He spends to much time watching tv & worrying about what they are saying about him, OH THE VANITY of him


Well he played a great deal maker on tv so he must be one..

IMHO he isn't pragmatic, he's selfish, his concern is for him..... True he has no concern or respect for the office, protocol, others..

True trivial things like morals, ethics & such don't concern him much, since he has very few of them but he is more than willing to utilize them to further his own ends.

 

[Bill]

lol..to the bolded.

Of course Trump understands realpolitik -he's trying to engage NK thru China -
and not this meaningless "strategic engagement" (partnership) w/China..this is from 2015

http://nationalinterest.org/feature/what-americas-china-strategy-should-be-13473
Finally, the early tenure of China’s avowedly nationalist and politically powerful president, Xi Jinping, has produced a material rise in domestic repression and tensions with the United States and China’s neighbors. Xi has expanded the definition of China’s “core interests,” militarized its maritime doctrine, and overseen devastating cyberattacks against the U.S. government. At home he’s adopted a hard line on domestic dissent and launched repeated broadsides against “Western values,” NGOs and civil-society groups.

Likewise, America’s “engagement” strategy was flawed from the start, proving insufficient to cope with the realities of a neonationalist China.
Whatever the case, Xi’s China has brought the flaws in America’s China strategy into sharper focus. Rapid economic growth has correlated with greater repression, while efforts at engagement and integration have been met with more brazen challenges to the status quo.

How is that realpoltik thru china working out so far???

He got his deals, his daughter got her deals & I guess his son in-law & kids did to, but the American ppl not so much..

 

[Bill]

President Trump did not "engaging North Korea thru China," a better description is attempting to outsource North Korea to China, which we now know was never close to working, and everyone knew it seemingly but the President, must be "the most beautiful chocolate cake" didn't work

And to think that a President who, as I've noted before, is goated by flattery and pissed off by a tweet is on the same level as Putin who has decades at the game and is willing to go to the extreme is inane

EXACTLY!!!

you have to give diplomacy a chance,and this has been an intractible problem for awhile.

My guess? China won't budge, and we offer to nuclearize Japan as a "deterrent" -
which I assume is a violation of the Proliferation Treaty.

That makes it a world problem - pressing- and not just these 6 party talks Clinton used.
In the meantime we keep improving our ABM system in Kodiak, and the NW

 

[Bill]

ridiculous.
There is no ability to cooperate with Iran on anything..period..anything..not even routine patrrols in the Strait of Hormuz (where they seize our frigates).

There is no ability to cooperate with Iran on anything..period..anything..not even routine sound just like that guy you are always complaining about Graham.... He's got Russia, you got Iran...........

 

[Bill]

Iran has been on the frontlines fighting ISIS. They are the number one enemy of ISIS. They are more liberal and democratic than either Russia or Saudia Arabia. Their population is largely pro-Western. They've been abiding by the nuclear agreement.

I often wonder why some go to such lengths to try & vilify Iran.??

Oddly enough~or not they didn't mind that Persian hegemony when our monster the unelected shah was killing & torturing his own citizens...

 

[anatta]

Does Russia have a "death to America" day?

Iran is a geo-political friend of Russia..
Talking to Iran ( hell even shipping planeloads of cash to Iran) gets us nowhere

 

[Bill]

they are governed by a theocratic group that hates the USA. It's baked in.
They are also a state sponsor of terrorism.

Their population isn't the problem,it's their government. They go after ISIS solely for own hegemony concerns

A theocratic kinda group like in saudi Arabia??

Like saudi Arabia doesn't sponsor terror?? How many Yemeni they terrorized-MURDERED???

PLEASE

How many ppl has moosad assassinated?? How many ppl has the USA bombed/invaded/killed in the ME??

How many political prisoners are there in Egypt??

The Persians didn't destroy Libya~take that log out of your eye..........

Worst enemy?

Tspuke is both and idiot and a liar.

He is terrified of China and thinks Russia is harmless.
Too dumb to troll well.

He may be wrong but at least he writes well. You, by contrast, are rarely ever right and barely literate.

They got much better than that, they got the stuff to do it......

Oh how horrid, should I be afraid?? I wonder what it means?? In a speech to university students, Iran's Supreme Leader, Khamenei interpreted the slogan as "death to the U.S.'s policies, death to arrogance".[8]

Gee your propaganda don't sound so scary according to Supreme leader.

We can make luVy w/ putin but not the Persians........

regargless of the meaning to the propaganda show 1-just 1 where the US and Iran work together.

We don't even coordinate with killing ISIS. it's a dead letter trying to deal with them,,unless we sent planeloads cash
