| France's Macron and Putin met to cut "deals" , trade agreements regardless of American foreign policy . |
I wrote many times in that our American "sanctions don't work ...". As in case of Russia. Vladimir Putin very well may be the richest man in the world. He is beating America, its (1)>>President Donald Trump at the (1.2)>>" Art of the Deal". " Deals are my art form” is one of the opening lines of his famous book on the subject. President Donald Trump has emphasized [had hoped] that he intended to pursue cooperation with Russia wherever possible, particularly in combating terrorist groups like the Islamic State. The president had set have a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. WHAT deal is there to be made with Moscow, and what can the United States get out of it? Putin’s wish list, by contrast, is detailed, long and the items on it, such as getting U.S. sanctions imposed over Moscow’s actions in Ukraine eased, are potentially significant for his own political future. Now with the non-approval of the American Congress . U.S. and Russian relations are estranged to a degree . Now it seems Russia has the upper hand (2)>>As a twitter follower of all things Russian news worthy. I have noticed how aggressively productive Russia has been at diplomacy with other nations , and signing trade deals that are benefiting Russia . My question is where is our American diplomacy in world ?Where are the trade deals out of Washington D.C. . So far all I have seen is a backward path of economic isolationism . The fact that the US pulled out of the Iran Deal , the rest of the EU sided against the US policy on Iran . It begs the question , why not our nation ? (3)>>Russia is doing photo ops with world leaders, making profitable business deals that are vary much amazing speed its harder to follow it on twitter . Meanwhile our President Donald Trump is putting tariffs on imported goods with retaliation coming from our would be allies .And it’s not just that Trump seems to have abandoned the larger geopolitical playing field to America’s principal rivals. He appears to be doing everything in his power to facilitate their advance at the expense of the United States. While Trump is gutting past trade agreements , here comes Russia making gains on capitalism , cutting deals. Meanwhile America is missing . This was evident in last January at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. There was no senior representative of the soon-to-be installed Trump administration even put in an appearance. The biggest danger: that China and Russia will feel emboldened by Trump’s narrow-minded views . The (4)>>United States just can't seem to come to grips with a new reality - that most of the world's people live in the 'Old World' on the other side of the planet, that Russia, China and some other nations have decided to assert themselves as regional powers, that China eventually will be a superpower, that nations over there have decided to manage their own affairs without the interference of the US. Least of all Donald Trump should "realize" that his Art of the Deal is being used by Russia , they are building on it creating new economic ties worth billions of dollars world wide . Something has to change right now . Our nation has to take the first steps to work , create a new alliance with Russia [ a reset with relations] by restoring diplomatic relations (5)>>as a first step to get back on the global stage by creating partnerships with other nations . This we need to do by looking closely at Russia .
NOTES AND COMMENTS:
(1)>>President Donald Trump . If there’s a single consistent aspect to Donald Trump’s strategic vision, it’s this: US foreign policy should always be governed by the simple principle of “America First,” with this country’s vital interests placed above those of all others. “We will always put America’s interests first,” he declared in his victory speech in the early hours of November 9. “From this day forward, it’s going to be only America first, America first,” he insisted in his Inaugural Address on January 20. Since then, however, everything he’s done in the international arena has, intentionally or not, placed America’s interests behind those of its arch-rivals, China and Russia. So to be accurate, his guiding policy formula should really be relabeled America Third. (1.2)>>" Art of the Deal". Donald Trump's best-selling The Art of the Deal came out in 1987, but feels like it could have been written yesterday.It reached number 1 on The New York Times Best Seller list, stayed there for 13 weeks, and altogether held a position on the list for 48 weeks. The 2016 Presidential hopeful hasn't changed much since then. He's still jetting around and making deals -- huge deals -- and talking about them in much the same way he talks about his political campaign today. "I don't do it for the money. I've got enough, much more than I'll ever need. I do it to do it. Deals are my art form," he writes, in the book's opening line. It goes on from there with pages of Trump gems (although, in his case we're probably talking about diamonds). he Art of the Deal, Trump's seminal volume on doing businessman things that's approximately what Sun Tzu would have produced if he was dropped as a child. (2)>>As a twitter follower of all things Russian news worthy. Since Donald Trump was elected , the rise of "Russophobia" in the our media . I have taken steps to investigate things myself . Following Russia on the media . I have noted how much of America is in Russia , since the break up of the Soviet Union , there has been a surge of western values in Russia . While the Russian media is state controlled, a viewer would note how many American ideas have been adopted into Russian media culture . While our nation is going backward on opinion related thought that is dubbed "Fake-news" . The Russians have progressed much further on a verity of intellectual debate . (3)>>Russia is doing photo ops with world leaders. Let us look at France , Macron, who spoke before Putin at SPIEF, said that France wants to become the largest direct investor in Russia. "The source of motivation is that our French enterprises now employ 170,000 Russian citizens,” he said. The French president added that, in the last 10 years, no French company quit the Russian market despite the troubles in the Russian economy, it is a “strong signal”. Our nation is falling behind Russia and China , far behind also is the UK. UK loses out on real investment opportunities in a country that actually has a future, preferring to walk obediently behind their US masters and snatch up any unwanted crumbs they throw at them. Terminally sad and doomed to failure as the US has no allies, only vassal states. The Russian president said France is an old and reliable partner of Russia, as well as Germany. "We very much count on the fact that our French friends, companies will develop in Russia, will receive income and profit..Putin also noted that Russian-French business ties are diversified since the countries work in many spheres from space to pharmaceuticals. But Russia's leading economic partner is now China, not France or Germany, Putin pointed out. “Trade with Europe was worth $450 billion once, now it has fallen by half. With China, trade is going to reach $100 billion soon,” the Russian president said. (4)>>United States just can't seem to come to grips with a new reality . Most important of all, the abandonment of US leadership in the struggle to slow global warming will mean both the surrender of technological preeminence in the fields most likely to dominate the world economy in the decades to come and a far greater chance of planetary catastrophe. This should be considered a betrayal of all Americans—and especially of those who voted for him in the belief that he would ensure America’s political and economic primacy. (5)>>as a first step to get back on the global stage by creating partnerships with other nations . America should be comitted to restoring a balanced relations with other national powers . Example : There are no reason why there should be any hostilities between our nation and Iran , North Korea , etc . From Bush II , Obama and now Trump, our national prestige has regressed, we are suffering world wide as far as the reputation of the United States is concerned .
