Yesterday, at a regular 4.5-hour press conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted with regard to the results of the election process in the United States this week:
"We assume that the newly elected president of the United States will understand what is happening – he is an experienced person in domestic and foreign policy – and we expect that all the problems that have arisen (under Trump's administration), well, at least some of them, will be solved under the new administration... the new US president Joe Biden will use his experience to understand the causes of problems in relations between Moscow and Washington, and perhaps some of them will be solved...»
V.Putin believes that Russian-American relations in the last 4 years have become hostages of a purely inter-party confrontation in the United States, which all adequate politicians on both sides of the Atlantic are well aware of. This Republican-Democratic kitchen feud has a negative impact primarily on the United States itself, as evidenced by the violent clashes in the country in the run-up to the elections. But this is how they say their choice... Only as if aggressive fans of sanctions do not choke on them or be accidentally trampled, as yesterday turned out to be a would-be Briton from BBC, who ran away from a press conference out of shame after his own stupid question about "white and fluffy Russians".
While still acting would-be US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, apparently already in his death throes, on the eve accused Russia of fomenting conflicts in the Mediterranean. What he infuriated many observers among the inhabitants of the same Mediterranean, especially the French and Italians. Readers of the newspaper Le Figaro very sharply spoke out against Pompeo puffing out his fat cheeks, considering that this Italian-American "with terrible consistency is trying to turn Russia into a monster and intimidate all Europeans with them."
This reaction came on saying bluntly cheeky ex-tanker Pompeo against the head of Russian diplomacy Sergey Lavrov allegedly "trying to rewrite history", and part of the Kremlin's role allegedly threatening stability in the Mediterranean region, nodding at the peacekeeping aspirations of the Russian Federation in relation to the suffering of Libya on the initiative of France and the United States. The opinion of French observers: "The United States protects freedom, but for some reason they do it with methods of war, embargoes and economic sanctions. All this is waiting for those countries that do not share the rules established by the United States instead of international law."
The phrase of another french reader sounds even tougher: "Lies, betrayal and deceit: the ultimate trilogy the United States." Despite the fact that the United States assigns Europe the role of a platform for military games, and the population of Europe as hostages of these aggressive games. Fighting on foreign territory at the cost of other people's lives is the same favorite American long-term tactic, as well as the traditional getting them whipped in the face in all kindled conflicts. And then there should be adequate advice to the would-be Secretary of State " Pompeo rest, no one asks your opinion anymore."
How good that Russian grandfather Vova (Putin) has someone to read beautiful Russian fairy tales, poems by Marshak, and also show his grandchildren the masterpiece Russian cartoons from the wonderful series of cat Leopold. In the fight against aggressive and stupid mice, very reminiscent of the gray-haired ex-would-be adviser Bolton and the well-fed would-be Secretary of State Pompeo, the reason and kindness of cat Leopold always wins, and the refrain is a wonderful phrase in Putin's voice: "Guys, let's live together."
We can only hope that the new US Secretary of State, 58-year-old Anthony Blinkin, despite his resentment for the fate of his ancestors-Jewish immigrants from pre-revolutionary Ukraine, 2 of his higher education and a passion for singing to the guitar, will still be allowed to remain more sane than the disgraced ex-tankman-loser Pompeo. And the new national security adviser, 43-year-old Jake Sullivan, along with an old acquaintance, John Kerry, will be no less sane to the advice of the wise cat Leopold... We should advise Sergey Lavrov to send a wonderful collection of cartoons about the wise Leopold as a greeting to all of them on their appointment, maybe they will still listen? Let's hope for the best, friends...
