Putin received a "black label". Why Trump launched the topic of killing the Russian dictator

It is no secret that by recently, both parties in the United States have held a reinforced concrete position: negotiations with Russia do not provide for a change in the regime. A week ago, in the first interview after inauguration, Trump threatened Russia with an oil collapse. Between the lines there could also be read that in case of refusal to offer the negotiations, a position to change the regime could be revised.

Now, the mouths of Tacara Carlson (I would like to remind you that he interviewed Putin), the Russian supervisor is said to be replaced by direct text. And this is something that pathologically fears and very indecisive Putin is afraid above all. In parallel, there was an almost synchronous statement from India and China that they will not buy Russian oil from March against the background of increasing costs on freight. Of course, it is only a bell, not the final solution.

But such a story cannot but strain Putin. In general, Trump's game with Putin now looks like this: the US President is raising the stakes as much as possible, forcing Putin to go for quick negotiations. The keyword "fast". And now the White House is waiting for Russia's "smart" compromises. Apparently, in the White House, it is believed that Putin is almost gone. However, they clearly outlined what they would do if he disagrees.

But as soon as Putin demonstrates his readiness for the same "compromises", Trump's attention can switch to Kiev. It seems to me that our mistake is that as long as we are almost silent about our red lines, and the most focused on NATO, which, again, from my point of view, will not fly now (Trump will start negotiations from the fact that Ukraine is not Ukraine NATO enters).
