Day. Working together. We will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the american dream. Family the 9th 26 stage and donald trump had just been elected as the new president of the United States and every clinton the favorite at last she came gradually it is costs about us. For our victory. In moscow the election result was also being son of rated. Pseudo assume guns that you we are pleased that the best candidate has won by the lead grandma hillary have a rest bob was to kill it was god the guy. Lets follow up question steve nash before we were baffled me will not cut it in the state duma and. In the study Mears Aronofsky held a special reception to celebrate trumps victory. Last. Also as well for if there were reports of people popping champagne corks at the time like little going i dont know anyone personally but i heard about it well a lot of grandeur is part of the Russian National character. And was one of the fast to congratulate the surprise when a donald trump. Russia wants to completely restore its relationship with the usa. To say that the fact that trump was focusing on the slogan make America Great again that he wanted to promote his own country rather than pushing for globalization with them was good news for us russians. Blues jim jim mean it that you didnt address you as any abuse. President putin and President Trump shook hands on a New Friendship about the 1st 2 years of presidency overshadowed by the socalled russian a fact the charge was conspiracy against the United States did the 2 men illegally collude. I never worked for russia and you know that answer better than anybody i never worked for russia. There were signs of male bonding every time the 2 president s matt found could a True Partnership ever really develop. Could these men really become friends all what it states destined to remain enemies. Like. That you. Know youre on the. Morning of threats thats not my kind of. Thing. But it never worked. Were. Back to 26 teams. In the run up to the u. S. President ial elections russias state media backed the republican candidate donald trump a man known for his affinity towards russia. Would have a great relationship with putin and russia. Political tensions between russia and the u. S. Had been rising and mounting even to talk of a new cold war. Dont spill the politics of u. S. Democrats and president obama and steer the russian American Relationship down a blind alley if. The democrats new president ial candidate must putins arch enemy Hillary Clinton. Is the kiddo. Not really even compared him with hitler quite blatantly he said he was just like hitler so it was obvious there will asians would be difficult if she became president of. Moscow paned all its hopes on donald trump to revive the relationship between the 2 nations. Into strange tromp expressed himself quite differently he said he would find a common language with putin doable that was possible to Work Together with putin stores which in the end thats exactly what he was planning to do meets. Donald trump and fatima putin 2 man with 2 common enemies Hillary Clinton and barack obama. Despite having Different Reasons trump and putin both share the feeling of being disparage the outgoing u. S. President and the american establishment. I think that from perspective donald trump was a better prospect to lead the usa than Hillary Clinton was a whole what are most. Personal adamas position and had tried to outperform him several times in World Politics without success. She was clearly an hour. Buttons mistrust of the us its president and its allies was deep rooted. For the after the collapse of the soviet union putin had experienced what western betrayal actually meant the expansion of nato into formally communist Eastern Europe you know at the abortion should 1st poland joined then it was the Czech Republic and hungary then it went on and on and on it is now the Baltic States lithuania latvia estonia are all members of nato too they share borders with russia. Which makes it should putin or anyone else trust a word the west says if you dont know for example the strategy on usenet. Even with president obama relations did not improve. Was rattled by obamas advocacy of regime change in the arab world. You also have missiles allow this issue shift the soon to be always had the feeling that things are moving in the wrong direction that nothing was going the way it should. The key change was the arab spring there was that will leave year the situation in libya was dramatic and then gadhafi the head of state was murdered live on camera but what came out over the years through that same must if it really hard to see live cheaply and which in the least that. Trumps dislike of obama on the other hand was personal not political. 2011 was a trial run for trump he launched his own unofficial Election Campaign aiming to run as the republican candidate in the 2012 president ial election challenging obama let me tell you. He doesnt like donald trump and the last guy in the world that he wants to run against is donald trump. Trump rekindled an old rumor about obama claiming that his true birthplace was kenya and that the president was therefore not eligible for office trump was not i think on anybodys radar other than as a bit of a lark right in this in this back and forth and in again as with so many things about trump you dont take it seriously at 1st because its just seems so outlandish and bizarre. Obama finally published his birth certificate in april 20th at the traditional Correspondents Dinner in washington the president hits back no one is that no one is prouder. To put this birth certificate matter to less than the donald. And thats because they can get back to focusing on the issues that matter. Like. Did we fake the moon landing. A slap in the face but donald trump wouldnt quickly forget is showpiece had backfired. 2 weeks later he withdrew his president ial candidacy but trump declared that he would still win at the next election. To arrogant to be true. Trump sought his revenge on obama. And he was not the only one in russia putin 2 was waiting for the moment to take revenge on his american counterpart but 1st he had to win an election himself. Yet in the run up to the elections of march 2012 moscow became the epicenter of an unprecedented wave of demonstrations against the government. Just much in his post we are but one is can we would have kept out of party protests began after the parliamentary elections in early december 27th in the country here to be raked. Each year what happened were next was what happens elsewhere when citizens realize their votes im not being heard correctly they go out on the streets just that it would stop what guten blamed Hillary Clinton for giving the signal for the protests. A lot of women. At the same time she was secretary of state with the u. S. State department provided funding for russian n. G. O. S to observe the elections to putin this was direct interference in his regime. Hillary clinton wanted to topple him and organize a revolution in russia also as you. Note in decided to smash the opposition. And accuse us of threatening russia and its traditional values. And thats something of a result of his in 2012 i warned my friends from the liberal camps to prepare for the inevitable but he also got us they would have to take sides either us i mean russia or the west it is up of. Everyone who has said yes to a strong russia i ask you will we win but i feel medium. Takes paid off he was the clear winner of the president ial elections with 64 percent of the votes. Because im sure ill each of you open hootin has shown that his politics are geared towards traditional values and family loyalty to the people at summit and service to the fatherland. These values have always been typical of the Russian Service class as it used to be called to them. It was over there. In nov 2012th president obama was also vienna his 2nd time because. We had fought our way bet and we know it all hearts. It for the United States of america the best is yet to come. Russia however was not very high on obamas agenda. Theres no big economic relationship there is no big need at the moment for focusing on the Nuclear Weapons or nonproliferation the trees werent coming up right at that point so for obama it was a focus completely on other issues on the middle east on terrorism and domestic affairs. Russia wasnt was really an afterthought. But one u. S. Citizen was spying for putins attention donald trump as early as 2013 he had recognized that russia was also a land of unlimited opportunities as the owner of the rights to Miss Universe trump had voted to hold the beauty pageant in moscow. Launched a Charm Offensive on twitter. And be his new best friend. He was certain that putin would attend the contest. In november 23rd trump arrives in moscow ranked by beauty queens. Moscows a city that does glitz really well and trump as we know it is a guy who likes a lot of flash the more it gleams gold the more exciting it is to him. Its an amazing location in moscow and all of russia is going wild over it so were very happy the Miss Universe pageant is just setting records as. Russian billionaire. Was hosting the event trump had met him just 5 months previously in las vegas. Mikhail fired off editor in chief of g q russian magazine at the time was approached by us are a lot off to write a cover story. Refused. My compromise was that were not going to write anything about you know slow horror but like i will come and like ill hang out at the Opening Party for the pageant and they. Will get photographed for you know for the society pages. In spite of all aguilar offs efforts to persuade putin to attend the beauty pageant the russian president didnt turn up. Trumps trip to russia later fueled allegations that moscow had recruited him as an agent engineered by host aguilar off a man with close contacts in the kremlin. And. If i knew. This. Idiotic event would somehow become kind of the crux the focal point of the 21st century biggest Conspiracy Theory i would probably pay closer attention or try to hang out with trump and that girl or of zz but i really doubt honestly that this is when the plot was hatched. Jaring his stay in moscow trump continued his offensive against obama for russia all over the world people are laughing at us theyre ripping us off i mean were you look at whats going on in russia in moscow you look at how its just booming and how well it does and they have the olympics and as you know we tried to get the olympics and came in 4th place you know figure that one out 4th place. Yet putin ignored his advances and slid it was she didnt know for the streets of sydney average russian not the trump was a money magnetic little young man with a trophy wife who she was to build towers all over the world with little used no more than that. He was a businessman one of many of the post a businessman i dont think putin perceived him any differently at this point which incremental to cause them all. Giving up was not an option for donald trump he was determined to find a way to get food into tension but the russian president had more important plans he wanted to get his country back on the well stay fast and he could see a way to do it. In early 2014 the ukrainian peninsula of crimea became the center of the most serious east west crisis since the end of the cold war on the 22nd of february victor genack over to moscow during all president of ukraine was ousted from office and realized he had to take action the islamist move on which you. President since he couldnt help president young converts to stay in power ukraine had to be punished you know so he wanted to show that a peoples revolution could only worsen a country situation it was also a clear warning to his own country will achieve the premier im going to see a. Pollutant whose empire borders on ukraine wants to prevent ukraine moving closer to europe. Yes theyre just about. We dont have to study it and then europe is going to say you if this state joined the west and became a member of the e. U. And nato 1st of all it meant that nato troops would be stationed all along this long border of its allies furthermore it was obvious that of crimea belongs to ukraine it was no longer russias most important naval base. They say that instead we could have the american 60 at least for example coming to savannah the guns can flow to tug. Boat in cold a midnight meeting and decided that crimea should once again a long term russia. You know people it was such a lympics was still going on or they had just ended the world was distracted and so russia clearly had plans on the books to take back crimea they didnt invent them it wasnt an impulsive move if you like. Moscow acted quickly just 3 weeks after the ukrainian president s overthrow crimea declared its independence the enix ation of the strategic black sea pinin select quickly followed sundays hastily called referendum in which its residents overwhelmingly back breaking from ukraine and joining russia. Was sears activist i would like to congratulate only citizens of russia crimea and sebastopol on this significant event here to share soviet sometimes for americans i try to explain that it would be as if by an accident of history. The u. S. Lost part of south florida but not just south florida Orlando Disney and if by chance the opportunity arose for a president to grab it back what would people say that it was a violation of International Law or disney is ours and thats what you hear in russia the cry goes up cream crimea is ours. The United States and the European Union reacted by imposing economic sanctions on russia. Sanctions have arrived as the new way of conflict between countries because its perceived as being inexpensive its something thats politically satisfying theres an entire class of new sanctions experts and they offer their services so the sovereign and the congress and the president theyre all very interested in having the services. At the Nuclear Security summit in the hague in march 24th teen barack obama attacked the russian president again. Russia is a regional power. That is threatening some of its immediate neighbors. Not of the strength but out of wheels. Obamas derision only serve to encourage poaching to advance further into ukraine. Tensions rose in april as fighting erupted between pro russian and progovernment forces in the east ukrainian donbass region. Has said its so many times russia and ukraine are one nation they belong together one people one empire or one leader. Of. Russian policy on ukraine is viewed as very fundamental to Russian National identity when you hear russians officials we media ordinary people talking all the time about my ukrainian grandmother my summers in Ukraine Ukraine is my left arm my right arm whatever right so deep feeling of posters to ukraine as if he also understood what ukraine meant to russia donald trump chipped in. Russia is like i mean theyre really hot stuff. And now you have people in the ukraine who know set up or not but it can all be said but russia i mean what hes done for russia is really amazing. Trumps praise for putin fell on deaf ears. Religion of money and the clean of his love for trump ran for the presidency no one saw him as particularly influential let alone as a person to watch out for politically he make up the rules that was needed. As a penalty for the ongoing fighting in ukraine the u. S. And europe impose new sanctions on the russian finance energy and defense sectors in september 24th team. Put in retaliated for him the u. S. Was the real troublemaker. Mostly because brutalist the notion of book and you might think the United States special position and leadership was really a blessing for us all that well let me tell you this was not the case isco us instead of solving conflicts it led to there is collation and the spread of chaos. Instead of democracy support for g. B. As groups was growing from neo fascists to radical islamists let me ask you critic of. Provocation from moscow was nothing new for the west. Of us here of only diplomats each after annex in the crimea and the events in east Ukraine Russia wasnt totals diplomatic isolation. Was virtually ignored at the g 20 meeting in australia when you played you he left it early. Put in needed a new front to demonstrate russian strikes he found it in syria russia has always had strong relations with the Syrian Government sold weapons to the Syrian Government over many years often on credit and after a while that credit would magically be forgiven. The civil war in syria had been raging for 5 years in its fight against the insurgents president Bashar Al Assads army had laid waste to in time cities. Amid the chaos the socalled Islamic State of seized control of great swathes of eastern syria. Putin did not want to see another arab dictator toppled he decided to intervene. Saves abbas had asked for the door problem and you buy with russia on the other side it wasnt about supporting him personally or sitting up the cup the problem was keeping the syrian state you going. What is u. S. And European Intervention in other states internal affairs ever achieved e. U. Battle with this excuse of teaching you about democracy in your way of life and weve been so when you mock right you know which movies but ive been a. Only chaos and collapse which.
