Experts say that Donald Trump is gradually turning into a boomerang launched by Russia, and the thing is, this boomerang is going to hit Russia, thereby disappointing the Kremlin instead of letting them. President Trump is turning from Russia’s hope into Russia’s disappointment.
The Kremlin celebrated Trump’s victory with champagne while today Vladimir Putin says he didn’t expect anything from Donald Trump as the next president of the United States. He moved to the White House 5 months ago, but none of his decisions was made in favor of Russia.
In particular, Trump approved the idea of expanding the local shale oil production, thereby reducing to nothing the OPEC and Russia’s efforts to cap the oversupply and push oil prices higher. At the same time, he initiated shipments of weapons to the Middle East, thereby making rival to Russia.
The American military budget is growing like never before, but Russia is economically unable to enter a new arms race. Despite the fact that trump’s actions seem chaotic, most or even all of them seem to be pointed against Russia, which is something Putin cannot tolerate.
