Video “I had US military masters in Bucharest. They were exceptional, I didn't have such good students! What I see in Trump's negotiator for Russia is something hallucinating”

“The American administration puts pressure on Ukraine and practically kneels Ukraine and makes countless concessions to Russia,” says historian Arman Goșu, in a large interview with Contributors.roin which he talks about the war in Ukraine and criticizes, at the same time, how the Trump administration is involved in peace negotiations.

• “I think Putin has a holiday every day. He is inquiries in the United States and I think there, at the meetings they laugh. Never had a better ally in the fight against America as President Trump.”
• “Europe being excluded from the future negotiations between Putin and Trump has been done, but it was not far away.”
• “The United States and Trump administration have become a danger to destabilizing the world order. As big as Putin”

The historian Armand Goșu says that he makes efforts to find a logic of the way in which negotiations with Russia and Ukraine are worn on the Americans, on peace, and believes that “the signals that the American administration gives are rather to kneel Ukraine.”

Goșu also talks about Keith Kellogg, the special envoy of President Donald Trump in Russia, and says “I think this man was not at school.”

“I had a very good opinion to the American military. I had here, in Bucharest, in the master's degree, American military and not one, but more, who then did other military academies. They were exceptional, I had so good students! They were people for almost 40 years who knew the book! What I see at Kellogg is something hallucinating,” he says.

The historian reproaches him that he has compared the situation of Germany after the war with that of Ukraine. “Germany was a defeated country, a country that triggered the war, which from a moral point of view had to be punished. And it compares it to Ukraine, which not even defeated.

Video interview with Armand Goșu:

“Trump and the current American administration do not have the necessary strength to impose the capitulation of Ukraine”

– Do you see any logic in what the American negotiations are worn?
– I would like, I made efforts to find a logic, a red line of these negotiations, but it is very difficult, because the signals that the American administration gives are rather to kneel Ukraine.

I try to see this relationship as a kind of triangle, in which the strongest side is Russia, and less powerful, but very versatile, is America. And the weakest at the moment is Ukraine. And then, the strongest side tries to print a movement of Trump's median side to put Zelenski in difficulty. Sure, this is worrying.

Kellogg I saw it was complained that the magazine Time He does not quote him correctly when he speaks of occupation areas like in Germany. I think this man was not at school – or it was, that he is a American general – he was missing from the Military Academy. I had a very good opinion to the American military. I had here, in Bucharest, in the master's degree, American military and not one, but more, who then made other military academies. They were exceptional, I didn't have so good students! There were people for almost 40 years who knew the book! What I see at Kellogg is something hallucinating. How can he compare the situation of Germany after the war with Ukraine? Germany was a defeated country, a country that triggered the war, which from a moral point of view had to be punished.

And he compares her to Ukraine, who is not even defeated. That is, what the Russians have failed, now try to do Trump, that is to kneel Ukraine. Trump and the current American administration believe that they exaggerate, they do not have the strength to impose the capitulation of Ukraine, Ukraine undefeated by Russia on the battlefield, I do not see why it would be kneeling by America.

-It has been said that Trump negotiates this way, because in reality America has no Leverage, it has no levers to determine changes in Russian policy. And then try this type of negotiation. But what could the effects be?
– They are very serious, because they undermine Ukraine's positions at a future negotiation. Of course she has to start or she had to start more. But not under the conditions in which the American administration puts pressure on Ukraine and practically kneels Ukraine and makes countless concessions to Russia.

Second, the US administration said it didn't have Leveragehas no means of pressure. But it has no means of pressure on Ukraine either. It has no means of pressure on the West either. Because the system of sanctions requires the participation of the West, of the European Union, to other countries that are not in the European Union, from Australia, to Japan to Canada. All these countries are involved and have adopted major sanctions against Russia.

Of course, the Americans in turn have adopted sanctions – not the most complicated, not the ones that most affect Russia. At the same time, their sanctions package cannot be very loud. Why? Because the level of commercial interaction between America and Russia before the adoption of these sanctions packages was not very high. The level of trade has decreased. China could adopt some sanctions to tear down Russia. But not America.

“Trump does not understand elementary things from the functioning of the economy”

-Trump said he could put customs duties to Russian oil countries and that they will not force them to take Russian oil.
– Which customs duties? We are just in full commercial war. Trump announced some rates, then postponed them. Two days ago he said these rates does not refer to smartphone, computers and others. Who finally came out of this war – which is for the moment of statements – in relation to the increase of tariffs. In unison the international press says that Xi Jinping and China came out victorious in this first round. They would all be stupid and only Tucker Carlson or these boys are the best analysts.

Trump does not understand elementary things from the functioning of the economy. He believes that by imposing China some rates, this will force China to send checks to Washington. Who will pay these rates? Americans will pay them? The American consumer. So he is a man who is a danger not only for the United States, but for the whole world.

– On the other hand, the Russians seem to talk to the Americans and fool them.
– I think little every day has a holiday.The news in the United States and I think that there, at the sessions they are laughing. Never had a better ally in the fight against America as President Trump. It is an illusion to imagine that suddenly it will have a little moral revelation. Putin will use the context, will use Trump's presence to the last consequences at the White House to shake American positions and push America into irrelevance. Both in the world economy, in world finances and on the world's political scene. It's dramatic what we live now.

– The most common justification of Americans for Russian negotiations is the danger of China and the desire to detach Russia from China. What would this be the chance to happen?
– Absolutely zero! First of all, at this moment Russia is Junior partner of China. Russia needs a great need for China, so to break up depending on China, if it suspends help for Russia. If you suspend your help, then you can have a situation where Russia tilts to America. Which is unlikely at this time. Why? Because Russia and China, both are revisionist powers. Iran is also a revisionist power, North Korea is a revisionist power. The United States has now become a revisionist power. China's main interest is the supremacy in the Pacific and the occupation of Taiwan.
