Pushkov: Trump and advisers differ on Russian Federation

During a press conference, Mattis contradicted Trump on two major Russian Federation issues. It is no surprise the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is being forced to review its unprincipled approach to Russian Federation.

“Nuclear holocaust would be like no other”. Analysts say Russian Federation hopes to continue to use them as long as it can to destabilize Ukraine and maintain pressure on its pro-Western government. “If we have a good relationship with Russian Federation, believe me, that’s a good thing, not a bad thing”. I have, and you should too. “Some of the things that they have done in their countries are strikingly similar”, he says, “in terms of the use of the media and post-fact reality, lying about things and not just getting away with it, but not being even particularly embarrassed or bothered by that”. Such reticence suggests that Putin has at least as much political capital invested in a reset with the U.S. as does Trump – and far fewer options if it fails. We have a very talented man, [Secretary of State] Rex Tillerson, who’s going to be meeting with them shortly and I told him.

Trump was referring to the presence of a Russian naval vessel 30 miles off the usa east coast, the buzzing of a United States ship by a Russian warplane in the Black Sea, and the Russian deployment of a cruise missile that may violate a 1987 treaty have also raised tensions. And much like their counterparts in our country, Russian news networks can’t get enough of the reality-star-in-chief: Last month, Trump received more mentions in Russian media than Putin did.

Trump, right now if not sooner, needs to put an end to this love affair with Vladimir Putin, if he can.

The president instructed the cabinet to take necessary steps for implementing the decree that comes into force since the date of signing. Look where we are now.

During a conference call with reporters Friday, a Kremlin spokesperson said Russian Federation had no illusions of grandeur after Trump took over last month.

“Running a spy ship up the coast of CT is not what you’d traditionally think is an overture for cooperation”, said Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, who represents the east coast state.

He said the lack of reciprocal Russian gestures may be due to Moscow’s unfulfilled expectations that Trump would offer to lift USA sanctions imposed for Russia’s seizure of Crimea in return for cooperation against Islamic State.

The new legislation will be in place until a “political settlement of the situation” in these regions based on the Minsk peace accords, the Kremlin said. Now we might know. But you know what?

“If I was just brutal right now with Russian Federation – just brutal – people would say, ‘Oh, that’s wonderful, ‘ ” the president scoffed.
