That. Working together. We will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the american dream. Our family the 9th 2016 and donald trump had just been elected as the new president of the United States and every clinton the favorite at last she could gradually just spout on. Our own tree. In moscow the election result was also being celebrated. So there was still dance that you were pleased that the best can do this is one of you my grandma hillary have a rest bobby skillet it was god the guy. Let us pull a partially last door we were baffled me will not commit. In the state duma nationalist bloody Mears Aronofsky held a special reception to celebrate trumps victory. As well for if 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. Not a man putin was one of the 1st to congratulate the surprise winner donald trump. No i see russia wants to completely restore its relationship with the usa. The fact that trump was focusing on the slogan make America Great again but he wanted to promote his own country rather than pushing for globalization with them was good news for us russians and. Chim chim mean that you need an address year. President putin and President Trump shook hands on a New Friendship but the 1st 2 years of trumps presidency 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. States destined to remain enemies. Like. Going on the. Bread. Now. I never worked for iraq and. Were. 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 putin and russia. Political tensions between russia and the u. S. Had been rising amounting even to talk of a new cold war go off those still the politics of us democrats and president obama had to steer the russian American Relationship down a blind alley to give. The democrats new president ial candidate most putins arch enemy Hillary Clinton. As the kiddo. No she even compared him with hitler quite blatantly she said he was just like hitler so it was obvious there were lation would be difficult if she became president. Moscow pinned all its hopes on donald trump to revive the relationship between the 2 nations. Into swaim subject trump expressed himself quite differently he said he would find a common language with putin to a bill that was possible to Work Together with putin shores which in the end thats exactly what he was planning to do. Donald trump and florida made putin 2 man with 2 common enemies Hillary Clinton and barack obama. Despite having different reasons. I think that from haitians perspective donald trump was a basic prospect to lead the usa then Hillary Clinton was a slow but our most. Personal adamas position and had tried to outperform him several times in World Politics without success. Are by when you inching. 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 want western betrayal actually meant the expansion of nato into formally communist Eastern Europe you know what the abortion should flow 1st poland joined then it was the Czech Republic and hungary then it went on and on and on it is now in the Baltic States lithuania latvia estonia are all members of nato too they share borders with russia on which basis should putin or anyone else trust a word the west says i dont know. Even with president obama relations did not improve. Was rattled by obamas advocacy of regime change in the arab world. You also have missiles allow this issue shift so. We always had the feeling that things were moving in the wrong direction that nothing was going the way it should. The key change was the arab spring there was that will. Leave year the but the situation in libya was dramatic and then get our faith the head of state was murdered live on camera but. That scene must if it putin really hard to. Put in the leash 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 a 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 again as with so many things about trump you dont take it seriously at 1st because it just seems so outlandish and bizarre. Obama finally published his birth certificate in april 20th at the traditional Correspondents Dinner in washington the president hit back no one is that no one is prouder. To put this birth certificate matter to less than the donald. And thats because he can get back to focusing on the issues that matter. Like. Did we fake the moon landing. A slap in the face but donald trump wouldnt quickly forget is showpiece that 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 in the run up to the elections of march 2012 moscow became the epicenter of an unprecedented wave of demonstrations against the government. Just much of his post your bottom line is we would have kept out of Party Process began after the parliamentary elections in early december 27th in the country here she raked. In year what happened where next was what happens elsewhere when citizens realize their votes im not being heard correctly they go out on the streets that it puts the white vote in blamed Hillary Clinton for giving the signal for the protests. Are laughable. At the same time she was secretary of state with the u. S. 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 see a. Lot in decided to smash the opposition. And accused us of threatening russia and its traditional values. Not something of a result of him 2012 i warned my friends from the liberal camps to prepare for the inevitable because of that they would have to take sides either us i mean russia or the west it is up of. Everyone who has said yes to a strong russia i ask you will we win but i feel. Tense tactics paid off he was the calle winner off the president ial elections with 64 percent of the vote. Total because of my leach a k u open hootin has shown that his politics are geared towards traditional values family loyalty to the people and service to the fatherland. These values have always been typical of the Russian Service class as it used to be called for them. It was a word. In november 22nd to bomb lets also be elected his 2nd time. We have fought our way that and we know it all hearts. For the United States of america the best is yet to come. From. 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 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 and domestic affairs. Russia was and was really an afterthought. But one u. S. Citizen was fighting for putin said tension 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 would attend the contest. In november 23rd trump arrives in moscow ranked by beauty queens. Must go is a city that does glitz really well and trump as we know it is a guy who likes a lot of flash the more it gleams gold the more exciting it is to him. Its an amazing location in moscow but 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 haidar editor in chief of g. Q. Russian magazine at the time was approached by us acolyte off to write a cover story. Refused. My compromise was that were not going to write anything about you know slow horror but 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 a 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 the governor of but i really doubt honestly that this is when the plot was hatched. During 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 and 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. Get putin ignored as if ounces and slid it was she didnt know tom for the sort of city average russian not the trump was a money magnetic little young man with a trophy wife a shoe also built towers all over the world. No more than that. He was a businessman one of many of the pros to business i dont think putin perceived him any differently at this point from criminal to cause them all. But giving up was not an option for donald trump he was determined to find a way to get newtons attention but the russian president had more important plans he wanted to get his country back on the wealth 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 genack overage 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. For president since he couldnt help president young converts to stay in power ukraine had to be punished that 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 will achieve the premier im glad i see. The 10 whose empire borders on ukraine wants to prevent ukraine moving closer to europe. Theyre just not. We dont have to stand at the c. N. N. 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 effect 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 the vast opposed to guns give law to take the early. Voting call the midnight meeting and decided that crimea should once again belong to russia. You know people and theres 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 and 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 opinion select quickly followed sundays hastily called referendum in which its residents overwhelmingly backbreaking from ukraine and joining russia should pose but it was years ago i would like to congratulate all citizens of russia crimea and sebastopol on this significant event here to shinya subject sometimes for americans i try to explain that it would be as if by an accident of history. The u. S. 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 so the sovereign and the congress and the president theyre all very interested in having the services. At the Nuclear Security summit in the hague in march 24th seen barack obama attacked the russian president again. Russia is a regional power. That is threatening some of its immediate neighbors. Not out of strength but out of weakness. Obamas derision only serve to encourage protein to advance further into ukraine. Tensions rose in april as fighting erupted between pro russian and progovernment forces in the east ukrainian donbass region. 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 closeness 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 said but russia i mean what hes done for russia is really amazing. Trumps praise for putin fell on deaf ears. Really just because. Its 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 at that was that was needed. As a penalty for the ongoing fighting in ukraine the u. S. And europe impose new sanctions on the russian finance energy and event sectors in september 24th team. Put in retaliated for him the u. S. Was the real troublemaker. More so because richardson is the. Book and 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 there is collation and the spread of chaos instead of democracy support for g. B. s groups was growing from neo fascists to radical islamists because of. Provocation from moscow was nothing new for the last. Of fully deployment each after annex in the crimea and the events in east Ukraine Russia wasnt totals diplomatic isolation putin was virtually ignored at the g 20 meeting in australia when you play you he left it early little does russia. Putin needed a new front to demonstrate russian strikes 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. For the civil war in syria had been raging for 5 years in its fight against the insurgents president Bashar Al Assads army had laid waste to entice it is. 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 its a bus across from the border problem and by which flash are all assad it wasnt about supporting him personally or syria cup the cup the problem was keeping the syrian state going. What is u. S. And European Intervention in other states internal affairs ever achieved e. U. Battle with this excuse of teaching you about democracy in your way of life and weve been showing you mock rats you know which moves each private into. Only chaos and collapse. Us by the maker of this with us as applies to afghanistan iraq and libya. And now in syria russia was saying stop it thats enough dust. On the 30th of september 2015 russia launched its ass strikes officially they were targeting is nami terra militia. Putins american champion gave it his full backing on American Television trump endorsed burtons intervention in syria and 2nd no one should get in russias way against the Islamic State. Yet trump was alone with his message of support the u. S. And its allies demanded that the russian ass trikes stop their missiles while also hitting innocent people with the russians when we wage war against that and when we wage war we want to win and we do when they see that even if only 15 or 20 percent of our bombs hit their targets that they still in their targets of. Russian military support changed the situation in syria dramatically in favor of the assad regime. The International Community could no longer ignore him we moved the. Primaries he needed a breakthrough an opportunity to return to the world stage he wanted to regain his place at the table with the other players mrs to miss the news russian intervention in syria was his ticket will to keep. The cumulative they went in there they started the Bombing Campaign and they really forced the u. S. To talk to them and ever since then you know theyre rare russian and American Military said been engaged in de confliction talks on a daily basis. At the same time donald trump was eyeing the u. S. Presidency once again. He had already launched his Election Campaign in june 25th jane. I am a station we are. The president of the United States think we are going to make our country great again could someone who. At this time trump was already leading the race for the republican candidacy i mean lots of people were starting to take him seriously much less use the studios. So of course they also started following his comments about russia not sure that this needs. Trumps attempts to curry favor with the russian president finally paid off in december 25th in mention donald trump in public for the 1st time. Hes a very striking in no doubt very talented man he appears to be the great favorite in the president ial contest of. Trump was happy to accept the price. He came out of nowhere to this they said trump is brilliant hes great hes the leader hes the leader on the party and he said nice things i didnt know i never met him so i didnt know and he said nice things all of a sudden im hearing things like oh isnt it terrible that the saying that its not terrible thats good just like a good thing not a bad thing he cant stand obama obama cant stand him theyre always fighting wouldnt it be nice if we could get along like with you. So i just would begin this in late 2015 is the sort of mutual flirtation if not a love affair with. Trump having praised putin and putin now seeing the possibility that trump could play in this election and praising trump and somebody who could be president ial. But i showed you this something i find important and can only approval for. I see nothing wrong with it on the contrary mr trump said he would be willing to restore russian American Relations hes good whats bad about that we all want basti the body dont you. From the russian perspective but it was clear whom to support and the election which mr putin spoke favorably but also quite carefully about trump. He said it was good but didnt say he thought trump was great or anything like that he was much more reserved. On the 22nd of july 2015 trump became the official republican president ial candidate i am asking for your support enough so that i can be your champion in the white house and i will be your champion. Nobody knows the system better than me. Which is why i dont love and can fix it. From presented himself as putins western Kindred Spirit swim for china was for most but the one to do his character and his upbringing which of which he didnt just like putin as a politician. But also as a person with a personality similar to his own with strength trust consistency and enormous resilience it go aside. Just because just like trump himself there were some throw. A few days later trump appeared before the press the question came up again would he recognize crimea as russian territory when he became president. Lift the sanctions what we look at. His comments contradicted both u. S. Government and nato policy both wanted to keep sanctions in place until russia. Returned crimea to ukraine. But trump saw nato chiefly as a competitor to the u. S. Regions to test enormous skepticism and doubt on the Nato Alliance his point being that nato like Everything Else hes ever done should be transactional how much the United States is paying versus how much other allies are contributing should be the determining factor rather than the idea of collective security that has been the bedrock of the Alliance Since its founding. Ramblings and said hes the boss of good it not that the tribe is an isolationist it is the says nato is sucking away American Resources he believes this that he understands nothing about Foreign Policy nor does he wish to my cause and im sure that from vladimir point putins point of view this is music to his ears. In july 26th Hillary Clinton made us history as the 1st female president ial candidate of a major party. And solo my friends it is where humility determination and boundless confidence in americas promise to hide itself was. In the same month shared care as to russia of interfering in the president ial elections Russian Hackers brett managed to have stolen and published emails from the Democratic National committee their aim was to sow seeds of discord in her party to benefit donald trump did the stunts the. That sharon 2016 person set out to create chaos in the United States signals to so he could say to the russians at home that was the letter is this this democracy is a complete mess whats up of spite each of the democrats plus the trump was very enthusiastic encouraged because to find even. If russia or china or any other country has those emails i mean to be honest with you id love to see russia if youre listening i hope youre able to find the 30000 emails that are missing. In tonights all the accusations and said russia had not interfered with the us elections and that the scandal surrounding the alleged stolen emails was fake when people its a secure israel knew. There was the will and given the most important thing was the content which the public now knows about with me yeah thats the only thing that matters not who stole it. That will do it is do you know what the media can something about i always say to americans do you actually realize that we totally control the us are you sure our hackers control everything principle of course thats what our nonsense you. Know group or my point of view the most stupid thing is they use this excuse to oppose trumps domestic policies. You can see that the of the. On november the 9th 2016 something that very few people had thought possible happened. During clintons last president ial election this is nothing outcome we wanted were we worked so hard for and im sorry that we did not win this election for the values we share in the vision leave. For our country. Historic Election Night was the winner was trying. I pledge to every citizen. That i will be president for all americans and this is so important to me. Was. There was applause from moscow to. So this is not only the victory for the americans who defended their democracy it gave us the liberal globalist lives you know this is this is the victory that American People brought the whole world the reality is a great number of russians felt vindicated they felt that something right had happened now justice will be done and russias grievances will be respected by a new american president. Oh it was. Short the q im still at the end of the day trump stands for protectionism in the economy so and for greater u. S. Sovereignty he doesnt want any migrants in the country for instance to go on to his way of thinking it was much closer to putins new pooch and. So was the outgoing president barack obama now history not quite he still had one card to play. In december his government expelled 35 russian citizens in retaliation for moscows alleged interferences in the elections bought there was no reaction from putin yet. I mean you know we only react when we can benefit obamas presidency was more or less over why should we have wasted our Political Capital i think because even in 2014 or 2015 we can no longer do a lot. Because all hootin signaled that moscow was waiting for the arrival of President Trump in the white house and was solved. Problems with them didnt start their relationship with President Trump off on this sour note and instead dissent trumped this positive message trump responded and said they put it was very smart in in not retaliating but. Even defended the newly elected president even giving us surprising answer to questions about rumors that russia had compromising material on trump including images with prostitutes during his visit to moscow in 2013. 35th a result which i can hardly imagine that he went into a hotel to meet girls with a sense of social responsibilities that. Even if they are of course the best in the world. People who fake pictures of the kinds now circulating of the elected us president s to use them in a political battle are worse than prostitutes. And you they have absolutely no moral standards. Really for the issue. On january the 20th 2017 trunk was sworn in for me as the 45th president of the United States of america are. On trial do solemnly swear that i will faithfully execute that i will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States the office of president of the United States so help me god so help me god congratulations with the crowd. With the relationship with moscow now be rebooted with my dear good. Team was entertaining the hope that he could create a different kind of relationship with the usa to the previous one was composed which meant gradually rebuilding the world to fit his own rules and turning russia back into a superpower trump would make a deal on how the rest of the world would live just a minute. About moscows hopes of a fresh beginning with washington was soon dashed. Past of all by nikki haley trumps new ambassador to the United Nations. Haleys 1st appearance in february 27th teen mocked a tougher stance i consider it unfortunate that the occasion of my 1st appearance here is one in which i must condemn the aggressive actions of russia the dire situation in Eastern Ukraine is one that demands clear and strong condemnation of russian actions. Contrary to all of trumps previous comments ambassador haiti confirmed that u. S. Sanctions would remain in place until russia withdrew from crimea. The u. S. The governments anti russian tack continues. In march f. B. I. Director james comey confirmed that his agency would conduct an official investigation into the russian governments alleged interference in the 2016 u. S. Election campaign. And that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump Campaign and the russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and russias efforts. In april u. N. Ambassador haley once again condemned russias complicity with the syrian assad regime this time citing a poison gas attack yesterday morning. We awoke to pictures to children foaming at the mouth suffering convulsions being carried in the arms of desperate teams. The truth is that assad russia and iran have no interest in peace when the United Nations consistently fails in its duty to act collectively there are times in the life of states that we are compelled to take our own action. 3 days later u.
