Moment of truth: expert says Trump will impose sanctions against Russia amid disappointment in Putin
Political expert and military man Alexander Musienko commented on Western media reports that Trump may finally impose sanctions against Russia, and assessed whether this is really the case, Politeka reports.
He wrote about this in his blog.
For example, the expert says, The Wall Street Journal writes that Trump may impose sanctions against Russia this week, because he is becoming increasingly disappointed in Putin amid failed negotiations and large-scale shelling in Ukraine. Also, he continues, retired British Army Colonel Gamish de Bretton-Gordon writes in The Telegraph that Trump has finally come to the conclusion that Putin considers him a fool, that the bad guys are in Moscow, and not in Kyiv or other European capitals.
"Trump, furious at Russia's obvious disrespect, may impose new sanctions and deprive Moscow of vital oil revenues that allow it to maintain a huge army. The author hopes that Trump is extremely furious and will hit Russia where it hurts the most. What can be said here? First, I would say that we'll see, we'll see, Trump really holds all the cards. And I think they'll consult with the Germans," says Alexander Musienko.
In addition, he notes, one Western official told The Wall Street Journal that Trump will discuss the final decision on sanctions against Russia during a meeting with German officials this week. That is, the expert explains, the US wants to synchronize the process with the Europeans, and Germany is traditionally one of America's most important partners in Europe.
"A kind of moment of truth. In the end, is Trump agent Krasnov or not? Let's be honest, did the Russian special services recruit him and will he continue to act in their interests, inventing various excuses, formulating various texts? Because one should not think, for example, that Russia reduced the intensity of shelling after Trump's statements that he is disappointed and considers Putin crazy. Not at all. Putin is not afraid of Trump's posts in Truth Social. And many are not afraid, I think. They are afraid of real actions," concludes Alexander Musienko.
