Together. We will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the american dream. Nonfamily the 9th 2016 and donald trump has just been elected as the new president of the United States and every clinton the favorite at last she could gradually just spout us. Army tree. In moscow the election result was also being celebrated. So there was soon as that you we are pleased that the best can do this is one of you but grandma hilary have a rest bob wish to kill it it was good the guy. Let us follow up question steve nash for we with battle will not commit. In the state duma nationalist bloody Mears Aronofsky held a special reception to celebrate trumps victory. Last. Also as well for you there were reports of people popping champagne corks at the time. I dont know anyone personally but i heard about it well a lot of grandeur is part of the Russian National character. Without a man putin was one of the 1st to congratulate the surprise winner donald trump. No i see it 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 that he approves. President putin and President Trump shook hands on a New Friendship but the 1st 2 years of trumps presidency well overshadowed by the socalled russian a fast the charge was conspiracy against the United States did the 2 men illegally collude i never worked for roger 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. This state destined to remain enemies. Like. Oh youre. Not annoying our friends now. My enemy. But i never worked. Back to 2016. In the run up to the us 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 food and russia. Political tensions between russia and the us had been rising amounting even to talk of a new cold war. Goes all the politics of us democrats and president obama had to steer the russian American Relationship down a blind alley to give to the democrats new president ial candidate most putins arch enemy Hillary Clinton. They also argue opposed to the kyoto. Restlessly 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 swains tromp expressed himself quite differently he said he would find a common language with putin very doable that was possible to Work Together with putin shores putin and thats exactly what he was planning to do. Donald trump and florida may putin to man with 2 common enemies Hillary Clinton and barack obama. Despite having Different Reasons trump and putin both shared a feeling of being disparaged by the outgoing u. S. President and the american establishment. I think that from haitians perspective donald trump was a better prospect to lead the usa than Hillary Clinton will what are most person knew of his position and had tried to outperform him several times in World Politics without success. Are by when you inching bone chilling. Mistrust of the u. S. 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 is now in the Baltic States lithuania latvia estonia are all members of nato too they share borders with russia. Which makes the should putin or anyone else trust a word the west says i dont know that the strategy on usenet. Even with president obama relations did not improve. Was rattled by obamas advocacy of regime change in the arab world. Moved to a missile dollars issue shadiest of. The always had the feeling that things were moving in the wrong direction that nothing was going the way it should. Be the key change was the arab spring there was the will. Leave year the situation in libya was dramatic and then get our faith the head of state was murdered live on camera but what came out over the years through that seen most of it putin 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 levon 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. Why. Did we fake the moon landing. Snap in the face that donald trump wouldnt quickly forget is showpiece 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 too was waiting for the moment to take revenge on his american counterpart but 1st he had to win an election himself. Yet and the run up to the elections of march 22. 00 ounce moscow became the epicenter of an unprecedented wave of demonstrations against the government. Just much in this post but a lot we would have kept out of Party Process began after the parliamentary elections in early december 27th in the country here to be raked. Each year would have been were next was what happens elsewhere when citizens realize there is that some not being heard correctly they go out on the streets that it would start hootin blamed Hillary Clinton for giving the signal for the protests. And after they look at the same time she was secretary of state with the Us 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 so i did so i see if. It interests. Idea to smash the opposition and accuse us of threatening russia and its traditional values. Not some have a result that was in 2012 i warned my friends from the liberal camps to prepare for the inevitable by the sort of guys they would have to take sides either us i mean russia or the west it is up to. Everyone who has said yes to a strong russia. To expand off he was the clear winner of the president ial elections with 60 percent of the votes. By leach hootin has shown that his politics are geared towards traditional values and family loyalty to the people and service of the fatherland. Symbolists these values have always been typical of the Russian Service class as it used to be called. Loser because it was over the rule november 2012th president obama must also be elected his 2nd time. We have fought always bet and we know it all hurts but 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 on domestic affairs. Russia was and was really an afterthought. But one u. S. Citizen was fine 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. Could be his new best friend. He was certain that putin would attempt the contest. In november 23rd team trump arrives in moscow flanked by beauty queens. Of 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. Gleams gold the more exciting it is to have. Its an amazing location and moscow all of russia is going wild over it so were very happy the Miss Universe pageant is just setting records. For russian billionaire. Was hosting the event trump had met him just 5 months previously in las vegas. Mikhail fight off editor in chief of g. Q. Russia magazine at the time i was approached by honest to write a cover story. Here if you asked. My compromise was that were not going to write anything about you know this little whore would 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. 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 z. 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 or they said fanciers slid no she didnt know tom from the start of the 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 girls to businessman i dont think putin perceived him any differently at this point which incremental to cause them all. But giving up was not an option for donald trump he was determined to find a way ticket to tims attention but the russian president had more important plans he wanted to get his country back on the welt stage 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 jana coverage the moscow knowing all president of ukraine was ousted from office and realized he had to take action is the new smoke on which you. President since he couldnt help president young a college 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 the blue achievement premium got a. Potent whose empire borders on ukraine wants to prevent ukraine moving closer to europe. Yes theyre just around. We dont have to stand it and then europe is going to say 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. Furthermore it was obvious that of crimea belongs to ukraine it was no longer russias most important naval base. There instead we could have the american 6th fleet for example coming to survive to. Give law to. Put in coal to midnight meeting and decided that crimea should once again belong to 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 was an impulsive move if you like. Moscow acted quickly just 3 weeks after the ukrainian president s overthrow crimea declared its independence. The annexation of the strategic black sea pinin select quickly followed sundays hastily called referendum in which its residents overwhelmingly backed breaking from ukraine and joining russia as. Well as sears it is i would like to congratulate all the citizens of russia crimea and sebastopol on the significant event here to shelia soviet sometimes for americans i try to explain that it would be as if by an accident of history the us 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 as 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 to the sovereign and the congress and the president theyre all very interested in having these 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 on the strength but out of workers. Obamas derision only served to encourage her chain to advance further into ukraine. Tensions rose in april as fighting erupted between pro russian and progovernment forces in the east ukrainian donbass region. Put your mirror. Has said its so many times you russia and ukraine are one nation they belong together one people one empire or one leader. 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 last or my right arm whatever 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 set up but russia i mean what hes done for russia is really amazing. Trumps praise for putin fell on deaf ears. Bleached the chromebook. Is the clean you feel for trump ran for the presidency no one saw him as particularly influential let alone as a person to watch out for politically need to make up the rules the rules 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. In retaliated for him the us was the real troublemaker. Mostly because brutalist the going to start of only 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 is going instead of solving conflicts it led to the escalation and the spread of chaos instead of democracy support for juvie as groups was growing from neo fascists to radical islamists because of. Provocation from moscow was nothing new for the west. Only deployment he said after an x. In the crimea and the events in east ukraine or russia wasnt totals of diplomatic isolation putin was virtually ignored at the g 20 meeting in australia when you played you he left it early. Voting needed a new front to demonstrate russian strength 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. But. The civil war in syria had been raging for 5 years in its fight against the insurgents president bashar al assad. Had laid waste to in times cities. Amid the chaos the socalled Islamic State and seized control of great swathes of eastern syria. Putin did not want to see another arab dictator toppled he decided to intervene. Because a its a bus and also the door problem and if by which flash are all assad it wasnt about supporting him personally or siddique of the cause the problem was keeping the syrian state going. What is u. S. And European Intervention in other states internal affairs he ever achieved e. U. Battle with this excuse of teaching you about democracy in your way of life would be nice when you mock right you know which movies but ive you know. Only chaos and collapse. By the make of this with us this applies to afghanistan iraq and libya at the cafe and now i
