The essence of US President Donald Trump’s diplomacy is based on a keen desire to once again defeat Russia without war, and the Russian elite which has entered into a diplomatic game with Trump’s team should understand this, political scientist, philosopher and leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergey Kurginyan wrote in his analytical article “On the Verge of Catastrophe,” published in The Essence of Time newspaper, issue 624.
The Americans already have experience of such “extremely successful deception” of the Russians, and this is the victory in the Cold War. It is “victory without war.” This is also the title of a book by the 37th US President Richard Nixon, published in 1999, the analyst recalled.
“Winning without war means TO OUTPLAY. And while certain circles of the Russian elite may regard such a statement as dubious, for the US elite in general, and especially for the elite that in one way or another solidarizes with Nixon’s statement (and this includes Kellogg, Trump, and many others), it is obvious and the reason of incredible pride,” Kurginyan said.
Referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s assessment of certain stages of US-Russian relations (Putin has several times pointed out that Russia has shown excessive credulity in these relations), the analyst noted that the US elites view such credulity as a “despicable quality” that led to the triumphant results for them in 1991 and should yield similar results in the future.
“After 1991, the US elite practically lost its mind over the sheer triumph of this very victory without war. They regard victory without war as the highest form of victory. And those who can be defeated in this way are seen as contemptible subhumans, living in an inferior country, which is, in fact, under the external control of the United States.
As long as the US elite is alive and well … as long as it is in a state of self-admiration – and everyone can see that Trump and his team are in that state – there is no question of any other attitude toward Russia.
The question can only be how to defeat the contemptible slave. And the revision of the attitude according to which Russians are contemptible slaves, representatives of a defeated, trampled, and therefore contemptible country, is categorically impossible,” writes Sergey Kurginyan.
The analyst emphasized that the equating of Stalin’s USSR and contemporary Russia, as demonstrated by Keith Kellogg, United States Special Envoy for Ukraine, in his speech at the Council on Foreign Relations on March 6, means the same hatred for both the USSR and Russia. And Kellogg’s hatred is accompanied by a sense of wariness, which has nothing to do with peaceful intentions.
The more the similarities between the USSR and post-Soviet Russia are emphasized, the higher the degree of contempt and hatred for the defeated enemy. And the sharper the desire to defeat it once again without war, Kurginyan warns.
“This is what the diplomacy of Trump, Kellogg and other members of the new team is all about. And in this respect, their diplomacy is no different from the diplomacy of Biden, Obama, Clinton and other representatives of the US elite, which the entourage of Trump and Kellogg hate fiercely,” the analyst writes.
