Afrasianet - Mahmoud Al , Asaad - Putin is well aware of everything that is going on, and is aware of the conflict, its nature and alliances, and is aware of the magnitude of the predicament surrounding President Trump and his need for rapprochement with Russia, will he use this to get Trump halfway?
With the return of Donald Trump to the White House after winning the US presidential elections, the picture of the conflict at home and its global extensions began to become clear, the results achieved by Trump and his team at the level of presidential and congressional elections, as well as the results of the election of state governors, contributed to securing the legislative and institutional framework needed to pass the necessary decisions and laws in the internal confrontation and the coup against his opponents from the global liberals and their allies abroad, specifically in Europe.
This conflict was not born of the moment, as it began to appear since 2008 as a reflection of the financial crisis caused by the Iraq war, and later turned into a vertical division whose reaction began to appear and roll like a snowball, and now takes various forms, leading to the Ukrainian war, for which the liberal globalists led by former President Joe Biden and his administration worked, and at the instigation of Britain, which is historically hostile to Russia.
It is not true what Trump said when asked about his campaign promises to end the Ukrainian war within one day that it was a metaphor, the reality is that the Ukrainian regime led by Zelensky did not give in to Trump's threats, and even when Zelensky visited the White House and was insulted by Trump and Vice President Defence in front of the cameras, he remained stubborn not to give in completely.
It has become clear that Trump is very disappointed and frustrated in light of the support and encouragement that Zelensky receives from the current of global liberals in Europe and Britain and their democratic allies in the United States, in exchange for Moscow's adherence to its constants and conditions for a ceasefire, which prompted Trump and his vice president to threaten to withdraw from mediation between the two sides and devote themselves to other internal and external files that are no less important according to their announced strategies, especially the trade war with China and geopolitical competition with it in the Pacific and Southeast Asia, as well as The file of building a defense strategy under the title of "Golden Dome", and the localization of investments in the US homeland, in addition to Trump's plans to annex the island of Greenland and Canada, and the completion of the file of negotiations with Iran on the nuclear program, and the files of the Middle East, including his plans to increase the area of "Israel" and control the Gaza Strip.
For the fourth time, Trump sent his envoy, Steve Whitkoff, to Moscow with what was described as the final offer to end the war, including US recognition of Crimea as part of Russia, and an informal recognition of Russia's control over the territory it recently liberated after the launch of the special military operation in Ukraine since the 2022 invasion.
Trump is trying to pass his final offer and claim that a deal is closer than ever, and is putting pressure on Zelensky to accept that plan by convincing him that Crimea has become part of Russia and that the Democrats who encouraged him to war are the ones who gave Crimea to Russia when Obama was president of the United States, not only that, but Trump permanently blocked Zelensky's dreams of joining NATO, warning him of the consequences of continuing the war, which may end in the loss of Ukraine in its entirety in the absence of any cards in reference to the cessation of US support.
Despite these pressures, and the positive statements issued by Trump after the meeting of his envoy Whitkov with Russian Vladimir Putin, which lasted for more than three hours, where Trump said that most of the main points of the Ukrainian settlement were agreed, as well as statements issued by the Kremlin that confirmed that the meeting was effective and constructive, the indications issued by Kiev and its European backers suggest that the desired peace is still far away after Ukraine rejected the US proposal to cede Crimea.
Along with the United Kingdom, France and Germany, Trump's envoy Keith Kellogg presented an alternative counter-proposal to joining NATO, which includes Ukraine obtaining strong security guarantees from the United States, such as those granted by America to Israel, while Zelensky is still reluctant to sign the metal deal with Washington after three weeks of delay.
Perhaps referring to the statements of the US representative to NATO, Matthew Whitaker, who was appointed by Trump, in which he said that "Russia is perhaps the greatest geopolitical threat to Europe, but not to the United States", perhaps it will clarify the tensions and differences between Washington on the one hand and Europe on the other hand over the Ukrainian war file and the position on Russia, and the fact that the matter does not depend on the geopolitical threat only, but extends to the conflict that Trump explicitly declared against globalization and neoliberalism, and confirmed it through cartoons. The tariffs that he imposed on the imports of most countries of the world, which can be described as exceeding the limits of competition with liberal globalists and their allies in the deep state, and moving to a real declared conflict that may fly its sparks at home and abroad in the United States, and for that and within the framework of this conflict, Trump seeks reconciliation and networking with all conservative forces at the global level, which explains his keen interest in getting closer to Moscow and President Putin and his urgent desire to end the conflict in Ukraine, which he considers one of the detachments and tools His liberal opponents, led by Britain and Democrats at home.
Trump knows that if he does not block the path to global liberalism, he will lose and fall by knockout, and he is rushing it before the midterm elections in the fall of 2026, and today he has an excess of power that he derives from the concentration of power in his hand, and if he does not achieve the required success, he will fall and his fall will be resounding, and only on this basis can we understand what is happening globally and its regional repercussions, including with regard to the conflict in Ukraine and the efforts to settle it. Today, Britain is leading an anti-Trump current inside the United States and in Europe, The English have long been known for their hostility to Russia.
Britain today leads the alliance between the deep state and global liberalism, seeking to form an alliance extending to the Baltic and Eastern Europe. It knows that this alliance will fail if Trump succeeds in achieving the Ukrainian settlement, as the results of his success could lead him to withdraw from NATO and marginalize Europe.
We still have an important possibility, which is that Putin is well aware of everything that is going on, and is aware of the conflict, its nature and alliances, and is aware of the magnitude of the predicament surrounding President Trump and his need for rapprochement with Russia, will he use this to bring Trump to the halfway point in his conflict with his opponents and then leave him to his fate? And then he will sit down to watch the results of the conflict between Trump and the globalists, or will he continue with him until the end?.
There is no doubt that President Putin is famous for his cunning, and currently he is a key pillar in the struggle as Trump needs him on his side to confront the globalists, but the strategic partnership between Russia and China, which is the most dangerous enemy of the United States, should not be overlooked.
