America acts more rational than the Russians or Europeans. Even in regard with China, the US acts conscientiously and calculated.
The US has
constantly probed the extent to which it can act and after finding the margins
of their leeway, they acted accordingly. As a bonus, with every
"crazy" act, America chips away from other spheres, be them
territorial, commercial, military.
It's not
about some TACO erratic impulsive capricious flexing of the muscles, it's about
testing the boundaries.
America was
instantaneously freed from any real need of sounding its permissible scope by
the Russian redacted 28-points "peace" plan. I call it "The
Dimitriev Effect". The effect was that for the US anything goes and that
Russia has placed itself in the position of kowtowing to the Americans.
Nobody really
read attentively the so-called plan. The only honest person in this regard was
Kaja Kallas (stupid people are usually candid too) who admitted she hasn't read
the plan but heard a lot of rumors it was bad...
Did Trump
read the plan? Did he understand it? I believe yes, but it doesn't matter. He
had Witkoff to read it for him and to give him first hand feedback.
The 28-point
plan was calamitous for Russia, it included no recognition of territories in former
Ukraine, an express precarious status (de facto) for all of them, the
ceding of all 300 billion dollars lost by idiot Nabiullina (I guess nobody
pretend anymore that Russia would ever see a dime from that) to America,
implicit permission for the US (and other states I would say) to station troops
and armament in Ukraine, rights of exploitation in Ukraine and even Russia.
Trump
understood from this that he is the new Russian idol, to whom they were willing
to strip themselves of everything that could be turned into offerings. Russia
showed its hand and that hand indicated they were expected just to be servile
and submissive in exchange on a pat on the back or a tiny smile from the big
Don.
From there
on, he correctly assessed that he has free hand in every matter Russia might
have opposed.
So he
captured the president of Venezuela, went along with the CIA+Mossad plan of a
"revolution" for changing the Iranian regime, blockaded everyone
everywhere (what a nice occasion was procured for him by the changing of the
flag of the vessel seized to a Russian one), and, of course, will soon get -
one way or another - Greenland. He made his overtures and just lets them sinks
with the Europeans. Same as he did with the Russians.
It's not that
Americans are great and intelligent, it's that the top Russian brass is that
stupid (as personified by the consummate imbeciles Nabiullina and Dimitriev) and
longing for the Don's validation.
The current
Americans aggressiveness comes from Russia's gross mistakes.
Like any
entity searching appreciation, of course the Russians could have a fit of
hysterical outburst. That's very dangerous and untoward; they brought upon
themselves this position they are in...
We, the
world, can't be exposed to an immense peril just because they employed idiots
in high positions.
