How will Alaska go? Will it be Trump with Putin or against Putin? In contrast to our European leaders, I am not at all at the end.
Two factors will be decisive, I suspect. The first: Trump likes Putin, he sees him as an equal, possibly even as an example. A large country with iron fist you want to impose, without concessions, that Trump admires in Putin – he would also like something like that in America. In addition, Trump and Putin share a thorough aversion to Zensky; For Trump a stubborn pus, for Putin a nasty crossbar.
The second factor: Putin is much smarter than Trump, he knows how to use his vanity. Trump wants the Nobel Prize for Peace? Putin will pretend to grab him. “But first we have to arrange a few things, Don. The Crimea, we don’t have to talk about that anymore, I hope?”
“No, dude,” shock shouldert Trump, “Do you keep that Crimea, right, are you comfortable?”
That loot is in for Putin, now the rest. He decides to make it more complicated, so complicated that Trump can no longer follow it. He scatters the names of country parts and provincial towns that Trump has barely heard of. Trump knows that the Donbas region is important for Zensky, that Loser, but provincial names such as Donetsk and Loehansk tell him little, and he starts to shiver like Putin carelessly with place names such as Pokrovsk, Kramatensk, Tsjasiv Jar and Kostjantynivka.
“Kostjandinges?” He asks tormented.
“Don’t matter,” Putin, “Looking for it at home. We are already far advanced there and that is why we want that whole area. Rather, there is no ceasefire, I will give you a letter.”
“You also have to give me something,” says Trump complain. “Quid pro quo, right?”
“Where did you learn that?”, Laughs Putin, “Not on the golf course? As far as I’m concerned: Quid Pro Nobel Prize.”
For example, it goes on for a while while Trump is starting to feel more and more powerless to a man who is completely in control of him in terms of intelligence and intuition.
“But then you have to promise me that you will immediately stop with all those bombing of civilian goals,” Trump is still weak.
“We bomb goals,” says Putin, “we can’t see whether there are citizens in it, you do?”
Trump gets up and polar bears (Alaska!) Through the departure. He looks out the window for a moment. Alaska looks even killer and grim than he expected. For God’s sake, what does he do here? He turns to Putin. “How are we going to tell the outside world?” He asks.
“That’s your business,” says Putin. “And my case, of course. You tell this, I say that. It will crack the contradictions, nobody can wise more. That’s how we have done it? And in the meantime we go our divine course.”
“And that is ….?”, Trump asks, almost helpless.
Putin bursts out laughing. “You’ll see that … and hear! Come on, Don, it has been nice. Do you know nice women in Alaska? Probably you!”
