Friends Will Be Friends




Quite inconvenient and surreal, but spectacular. That’s how the most important geopolitical event was held.
If, as in the World Cup, the winner, the top scorer and the best footballer of the championship were awarded, after the meeting in Helsinki between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin yesterday, the Russian president would leave with all the awards. 
But that’s not the most important. The events that unfolded are likely to have significant and unpredictable political and geopolitical reverberations and profound consequences in Washington and beyond. 
In the press conference following the summit, the US president stated that he trusted the word of the Russian leader as much as that of his own intelligence chief. This strategy is like letting a criminal investigate their own crimes.
But here, perhaps, someone had to remind President Trump that the FBI, Hillary Clinton or Special Prosecutor Robert Muller had not invaded and occupied Crimea in 2014. And none of these people are involved in the coup attempt in Montenegro in 2016. And that none of these people are investing money and efforts to break the negotiations between the Republic of Macedonia and Greece and to "halt" the Euro-Atlantic perspective in the Western Balkans.
The US president, in the presence of Vladimir Putin, delegates the US intelligence and security services, including a clear consensus on the Kremlin's intervention in the US elections. And this is the most serious mistake in Trump's presidency.
Paradoxically, the Russian president has better expressed the critical position of the United States (and the EU) on the current status of the Crimea than Donald Trump did.
We have a brekaing news - Trump and Putin are BFFs now.

There is an interesting definition for quisling, otherwise known as "a person who betrays his or her own country by aiding an invading enemy, often serving later in a puppet government."


And as my idol Freddie Mercury sings:
It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends.


Yes, it’s not an easy love.
