An American journalist told about the similarity of Putin and trump.
American journalist Todd wood said in his article opinion about trump and Putin further suggested that a translation of this article.
When the candidate in presidents of the United States Donald trump says about making deals, it focuses on the strategy formulation of negotiating positions and the unpredictability. When President Barack Obama and his aides are talking about diplomacy, they mean the assignment and predictability. In other words, they are willing to give the opposite side of everything she wants, in the hope that in return, they may (just may) give what they want. The Iranian “deal” Obama is the latest example of this mistaken approach.
I think, Vladimir Putin read the book trump.
If the Russian President can say a certain thing, is that he is unpredictable. Putin has used this approach in Crimea, Eastern Ukraine, and now in the middle East. He was always three steps ahead of the White house, tossing him all new and new surprises, at the same time trampling on the American and Western influence around the world.
Putin is a master of escalations and deescalate. He moves West as far away as possible, and only stops when he feels a strong resistance. Retreating and then regrouping to go for a new, more weighty piece of cake – then, as the United States and its allies are already engaged in other matters.
Russia is preparing for the worst and takes all he can take. Even the us military, increasingly have shown concern over the rapid buildup of the military potential of the Russian Federation, their fixed costs for the purchase of arms and the bet on the modernization of the army.
What are the real intentions of the Kremlin, no one knows. As the Russians use acquired opportunities? Assume that the events of recent years will be repeated with greater intensity – in unexpected places and unexpected ways. Moscow will continue to return the old Soviet territory and to resume its influence wherever it will be possible. Its onset will be more rapid and unpredictable as it was in the Crimea and Syria. Understanding Putin’s diplomacy does not mean you have to Telegraph about the plans of Russia to the West, so he can take countermeasures. No, diplomacy is a tool to be used along with military force to defend the interests and agenda of Russia. As said Prussian officer, Carl von Clausewitz, “war is the continuation of politics by other means”.
This way of thinking and this strategy trump plans to follow whenever it will be about national security and foreign policy of the country. When asked about the torture used by terrorists, trump has promised in response to “do much worse”, without revealing, however, of the details and leaving the terrorists in the dark. As for NATO, trump said that the Alliance is outdated and should be reformed. European countries, for free protected the United States must understand that they will have to care more about their protection.
Trump also tells about the buildup of the American army that “no one wants to mess with us.” It’s an aggressive opening salvo of a Republican regarding his plans for the restoration of American power and influence, which were destroyed during the Obama administration. He says he will use force in order to ensure the safety of Americans and American allies, but to seize foreign territories and to get involved in distant conflicts, he is not going.
Military, recently received the rank of officer, are taught when preparing a new team to position itself as tough and unrelenting boss, which soldiers will respect and fear; rigid, but defending the interests of their unit. After establishing a particular reputation, you can become more soft.
This is, in my humble opinion, makes the trump, and brilliantly. It forms a hard initial position to begin the process of rebuilding trust and respect for America, by honoring the words of Machiavelli that “better fear than love”. He’s not going to destroy NATO, it wants to reorganize it so that the Alliance is more in line with American interests. He doesn’t want South Korea and Japan will have nuclear weapons, but wants them to put more money in private security.
Trump will use the unpredictability and solid bargaining position, to alter the geopolitical landscape. He intends to reduce financial liabilities of America around the world – we just can’t afford it. Ultimately, this will increase the safety of America and the security of our allies.
