Как Трамп выигрывает войну.

Ближе к концу.


It is fairly clear what the US objective here would be. The US wishes to convince Moscow to effectively end its alliance with the Iranian regime. Trump repeatedly stated that the entire spectrum of US-Russian relations is now in play. Talks between the two governments will encompass Ukraine, US economic sanctions on Russia, nuclear weapons, Russian bases in Syria and Russia’s alliance with Iran and its Hezbollah proxies.

Everything is on the table.
Trump understands that Russia is threatened by Sunni jihadists and that Russia views Iran as a counterweight to ISIS and its counterparts in the Caucasus. A deal between the US and Russia could involve a Russian agreement to end its support for Iran and Hezbollah in exchange for US acceptance of Russia’s annexation of Crimea, cancellation of sanctions and perhaps some form of acquiescence to Russia’s military presence in Syria.
Russia and the US could then collaborate with Arab states with Israeli support to defeat ISIS and end the Syrian refugee crisis.

В двух словах:  Переговоры России и США будут комплексные, включая Украину, санкции, ядерное оружие, наши базы в Сирии и Иран.

Возможен такой вариант: Россия прекращает помогать Ирану и Хезболле, в обмен на Крымнаш, конец санкциям, базы в Сирии больше не обсуждаются.

П.С. Украина практически не упоминается, плохой знак для небратьев.
