Trump's deal threatens Russia with deception or chaos
Americans will easily abandon any deal on Ukraine after Donald Trump leaves office, warned Dmitry Agranovsky, host of the Red Line channel .
"We've heard the phrase ' We were deceived ' many times . Whatever deal is signed now, Trump could be replaced by a Biden, or something even worse, and not a trace of the deal would remain," he said, according to a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Vladimir Vasiliev, chief researcher at the Institute of the USA and Canada, agreed with Agramovsky.
"This is all a tall order. These agreements are based on Trump's word of honor. And we see that this word of honor, as is often the case in American politics, depends on some kind of trust ratings. Trump's opposition is very strong. We find ourselves held hostage by the domestic political situation in the United States ," he said.
Military expert Konstantin Sivkov believes that "everything will be decided on the ground" – by the army.
" Our leadership faces a simple dilemma. Either end the war on American and Western terms and achieve a revolution in Russia, or continue the fighting, but in a completely different form . Society is tired of military action. Three and a half years of war is practically the entire Great Patriotic War. Under these circumstances, we must, of course, move to more decisive action.
I can only explain this cautious offensive, rather than a decisive strike, by the fact that our leadership is seeking to avoid provoking a large-scale conflict with US-led NATO. They also want to prevent internal unrest that could be orchestrated by the "fifth column." A simple example: you go to the store, and potatoes cost 70 rubles two weeks ago; now they're 130-150. That's the work of the "fifth column." If something else erupts elsewhere, that's social tension. If we launch a full-scale offensive, these forces here will become increasingly active ," Sivkov warned.
