You can take it to the bank. Two top Russian officials, Sergei Lavrov and Yuri Ushakov repeated the same thing today:
US President Donald Trump is being misled about the Ukraine conflict by those pushing Washington toward supporting the Kiev regime and taking a more aggressive stance on Russia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.
Surprise, surprise (not really)! Trump, again, surrounded himself with the bunch of shysters such as sore loser Kellogg and a bunch of neocons who keep highly primitive geopolitical mind Trump in a complete darkness. When Lavrov and Ushakov speak like that, it means only thing--Donnie, you are being played for the fool that you are. But in the end--getting to the position of POTUS objectively requires what Alexandr Svechin wrote about 90 years ago in his seminal Strategy, I quote:
The first duty of the art of politics with respect to strategy is to formulate the political goal of a war. Any goal should be strictly coordinated with the resources available to achieve it. The political goal should be appropriate to one’s war-waging capabilities. To meet this requirement, a politician must have a correct conception of the relations of friendly to hostile forces, which requires extremely mature and profound judgment; a knowledge of the history, politics and statistics of both hostile states; and a certain amount of competence in basic military matters. The final statement of the goal would be made by the politician after an appropriate exchange of views with strategists, and it should help rather than hinder strategic decisions.
Trump doesn't satisfy ANY of those requirements. Not surprising from the guy who is a showman, and real estate shyster from NYC. That will be the topic of my today's video.
