To be fair: Petr Pavel wants to unblock Europe. Trump is a little Stalin, an unknown Russian has unblocked himself.
Donald Trump promised to end the conflict in Ukraine within 24 hours of his election, which of course did not happen, but he did not resign from the situation regarding the war with hundreds of thousands of fatalities. He deals with it naturally himself. However, the only solution on the table is the one that has been there for three years. The Russians will take what they want and the others should adjust. After all, Donald Trump is the apostle of the old order, where the strong took what they wanted.
The blonde mane with an original hairstyle has been a characteristic of Donald Trump long before he took office in 2017. Although nobody knows exactly how his wave on the forehead still holds so well (you can see in the wind movements that it's much longer than it looks), it clearly shows that the golden color resembles the sun, around which everything revolves.
Trump's sun even has one advantage over the astronomical sun. Although everything never stops revolving around him, the force lines of other objects can change direction. The only constant in this galaxy is the central position of the narcissistic center, but opinion movements can change every day. Once they turn to the left, the other to the right.
Stalin's power lines in Trump's universe
Trump may once say that the situation in Ukraine can be easily solved by an inexperienced negotiator, that he can solve it anytime, and yet nothing gets solved when he begins to deal with it. Once, Europeans are allies and another time they are predators of American wealth. Everything in this galaxy is possible and impossible at the same time.
It reminds of the well-known land of unlimited possibilities. There was a time when they were afraid of Trump in it and supported his competitor in the electoral battle, only to soon celebrate his greatness. Which is now reflected in the curious production of marketing items (i.e., matryoshkas) expressing the Russian people's love for Trump (see the introductory photo).
Let's not kid ourselves, for those of us living further from Trump's missile silos, the principle described above is hard to understand. "If you don't know, ask!" wisely said the teacher in the first grade.
In the realm of unlimited possibilities, a CNN reporter asked and managed to get an explanation from a simple old man who even spoke English, which is definitely not common in Russia.
"Trump is a little Stalin... Because of his character,"
said an unidentified man on CNN camera.
The communist dictator and one of the greatest mass murderers in history was notorious for his cult of personality. Stalin was uncritically admired during his reign and anyone who opposed him in thought usually did not live to see the next morning.
The aforementioned man sees similarities in character with Trump. In the USA, the adoption of a public holiday on his birthday, an amendment to the Constitution to enable a third term for Trump, or the carving of Trump's head next to the four founding fathers on Mount Rushmore, is already being discussed. However, today's United States is not the former Soviet Union. Americans also have their own old cult, fuelled by decades of Hollywood production: Russians are communists and evil.
The stated belief also applies to Republicans, and Trump's jump into Putin's bed, became impossible for them even in the galaxy of Trump's sun, where really anything is possible. Old faith cannot be eradicated by just a phone call. For example, the Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune voiced his opinion. Let us bear in mind that there is no place among current Republicans for opposition to Trump in key positions.
Petr Pavel recommends unclogging Europe
If the comparison to Stalin is justified, we can learn from it. Stalin mercilessly took whatever he pointed at, yet he did not take everything. Wherever a dam was built, he had to reverse. It was not just about the secret fear of Americans and their nuclear bomb, but for example, even the small and insignificant Finns managed to withstand his pressure, but they had to try and it was not for free.
The president and old general Petr Pavel recently advised Europe to "unclog". Regular media trails over the decline of Europe are justified only as long as the handbrake is applied. A lot could be pointed out, but in the words of a classic, money comes first. Although the USA is still the world's largest economy (GDP approx 30 trillion dollars), the EU is roughly the same (GDP in terms of purchasing power parity 29 trillion dollars). If we were to add the United Kingdom, which in the current crisis unlike the USA is not distancing itself, Europe is better off.
For comparison, next in line is China, with approximately half the performance against the European block (GDP 18 trillion dollars) and aggressive Russia (2 trillion dollars) is slightly worse off than Italy. Unleashing the full potential would mean a united Europe, which is becoming more and more unrealistic.
In light of these numbers, however, only a fraction of potential is needed, which would put a modern-day Stalin from Russian matryoshkas in their place, but it won't be for free. The average American doesn't go on several foreign holidays a year and the average Russian doesn't travel anywhere, unlike Europeans, who often get a subsidy for multiple holidays. Comparable merchant calculations also drive the power lines in Trump's galaxy, in whichever direction, and the laws of the universe won't change in the next four years.
