Trump on Courage - why after success in the Middle East logically press Putin

After success in the Middle East from Trump, you can expect the pressure on Putin, blogger Alexander Kraev suggests. In any case, it would be logical, considering in what style the US president overhanged the "axis of evil". Remember how three weeks ago Trump wanted Europe and Group 7 to impose sanctions, tariffs and duties against China? Because China can be hostile and can strongly support Russia.

And he is going to meet with SI - because they have "wonderful negotiations on trade and chimney", especially "they are with the leader of the SI in very good relations," and he has nothing to make sanctions. And here, as soon as we have signed peace in the Middle East, we see a little different Trump.

Not only did the previous promises of Tomahawk repeat almost daily, so here are the visits of our government delegation on economic and political issues, and even more so the guilty Steve Vitcof - the instructions did not follow, with the Russians he said long and in general. And here even China himself attacked! Now the planned meeting with SI "will not be", plus from November 1, 100% duties on Chinese goods are introduced.

Against the backdrop of the fact that the chief in the American segment is now in American hands, in China and here the maneuver has become even less. Did Trump so inspired success in the Middle East to be as active in other areas? Rather, he did not inspire, but showed the effectiveness of pressure on one side and the weakness of the "axis of evil" on the other.

That is, neither Russia nor China nor Iran could do anything in the end to change the balance of power in the Middle East and to prevent Trump from determining the course of the case. Which is in principle a very essential hint that in other theaters of geopolitical confrontation, they can be forced to retreat. So why not try?
