Dmitry Medvedev (Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council) (Дмитрий Медведев) |Donald Trump has taken offense and is threatening to lift sanctions on Russia. Will he lift them if elected? | No, of course not. For all his apparent "non-systemicity", Trump is ultimately a systemic figure. Yes, he is a flamboyant narcissist, but he is also a pragmatist. As a businessman, Trump realises that sanctions are hurting the dollar's dominance in the world. But not so much that he would stage a revolution in the US and go against the anti-Russian line of the notorious deep state, which is far more powerful than any Trump. ■ And what about Harris? All the more reason not to expect any surprises from her. She is inexperienced and, as her detractors claim, just plain stupid. She will be prepared with nice, meaningless speeches and boring, correct answers to questions that she will read from a teleprompter whilst laughing infectiously. ■ Sanctions against the USSR were in place all through the 20th century. They have returned in the XXI Century on an unprecedented scale. Therefore, for all of us, sanctions are forever. Or rather, until the US implodes in an inevitable new civil war. After all, Hollywood makes movies about it 😂 for a reason. (Translation: DeepL + DeepL Write)
