Everything depends on Russia’s victory in Ukraine. Whether Russia will be Russia at all. That is why there is no subject more important than war. This war is sacred.
Trump’s arrival in the White House, who started this war against us, is of course of great importance. Because it is a rather radical change in the image of the one who until the last moment and even now was and is our main enemy. We are at war with the collective West, with NATO and with the globalist elite, which leads the collective West and NATO. And now Trump appears at the head of the US and announces: “and I am at war with the globalist elite.” But the US remains the main supporting structure of the collective West and NATO. With or without Trump. This creates a particular line of tension.
Our heightened interest in Trump is well founded. After all, this is a change of leadership in the camp of the main enemy. A lot depends on it, indeed.
We cannot know what to expect from Trump and his administration. But some trends are discernible. Trump is clearly moving away from left-liberal globalism – so attempts to build relations with Washington through the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) and other left-liberal structures are simply counter-productive. And there is nothing to talk to the neocons about, and they are not about to.
Apparently, the strategists in Trump’s office will be something between neocons (right-wing globalists) and realists. Trump himself is closer to the realists, but that school of International Relations has been defeated over the past decades. It would be optimal for us, as there is no benefit from Ukraine joining NATO and even less from a war with Russia for the national interests of the United States (which is what the realists are focused on). But we will have to deal not with them, but with a hybrid – with right-globalist realism. Not an easy configuration, but now our concrete path to Victory will largely depend on it.
With Biden’s globalists, we have come (right and left) close to nuclear war and total mutual destruction. In principle, we are balancing on this most dangerous brink even now. How relations with right-globalist realism will pan out, it is hard to say yet.
In no way should we overestimate Trump for Russia. It is a mistake; it is no gift, and it will be fought over long and hard. Nothing will end or stop. But neither should we underestimate Trump and the changes associated with him. That would be a mistake, too. Something in the relations between Washington and Kiev, and Washington and Brussels will change. We need to be clear and timely about what that is.
But no negotiations on freezing the conflict over the LBS – interim demilitarized zones and guarantees of Kiev’s non-admission to NATO are out of the question. We have irreversibly gone beyond all this. Now we will be satisfied only with the complete capitulation of the Kiev regime and the transition of Ukraine under our control – either as a part of Russia (which has been practically always the case), or as a friendly and guaranteed loyal entity. That is it. This is where any negotiations begin and this is how they end. The rest is decided on the battlefield. Only one thing is to be decided – when will we win. Not whether we win or not. Either we will win or there will be no humanity (unlike Ukraine). It is our complete and absolute victory in Ukraine that is the guarantee of peace and preservation of humanity. A losing Russia is dangerously deadly, and a winning Russia, on the contrary, is friendly and harmless. This is the axiom of realism in International Relations. Obviously, globalists see the situation differently, as their super idea – total control over all of humanity, and any pole of sovereignty, especially such a large and active one as Russia, is a sworn enemy that must be destroyed at any cost. The globalists have a super-goal to destroy us. Our super-goal is to preserve ourselves as a State-Civilization. Everything is diametrically opposed.
But the American realists have a super-goal to make America great again; that is, an independent, sovereign and prosperous State-Civilization. And Russia is not an obstacle to this goal. Please, make America great again. It is your right. And we will make Russia great again. And better together we will eradicate the evil of globalism, from which only harm comes. That is our approach. MAGA should theoretically be in agreement this. But then the neocons, the right-wing globalists get involved, and the whole system changes. They interpret America’s restored greatness as a new round of hegemony and imperialism. And automatically Russia, which does not threaten the United States in any way, becomes a stumbling block once again.
This is the most complex geopolitical dilemma that we will have to solve with the new administration in Washington.
At the same time, the majority of our international experts, brought up on globalism and liberalism, are, alas, completely unprepared for this and have no competence. After all, our goal is to preserve sovereignty and multipolarity. Our goal is victory in Ukraine. This requires radical patriotism, not all of these other things. And at the other end is again a different profile, traditionalists and Christian (sometimes Judeo-Christian) conservatives, who are unfamiliar and unknown to our experts.
So, the relationship with Trump’s America is a very serious challenge. We need to answer it with dignity.
