Trump and Putin Meet
Donald Trump and Vladimir
Putin are the leaders of the world’s strongest nuclear powers, which fought the
Cold War for decades. The two met to
discuss areas of shared interest, find ways to dial down mutual tensions and
work together to address global issues.
The issues needed to be discussed
included Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, 12 Russian intelligence officials for
hacking and leaking emails of top Democrats. the crisis in Ukraine to the civil war in Syria, the Iran nuclear deal and the threat posed
by nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles. The closed-door
meeting between the leaders can be evaluated only on the progress made on a
number of contentious issues before both.
The new Strategic Arms Reduction
Treaty (START) is set to expire in 2021 and Russia has shown interest in
extending it. For a consensus, high-level talks between the U.S. and Russia are
needed.
Russia will have to shed its rogue
attitude and be more open and stable in its dealings. Since Trump
became president, he had soft corner for Russia, and officials even suspected
that Russia has some hold over Trump. The way summit concluded and Trump's
utterances clearly showed that the summit was just a formality, and conclusion
was as expected, in favour of Russia.
Trump's apparent failure to take
Putin to task over what seems to be proof of Russian interference in the US
presidential election process of 2016, in particular, has earned for Trump a
multitude of stinging barbs. For his critics, Trump's failure on this score
testifies to a singular simple-mindedness that could be construed as gross
weakness by the Russian side.
Helsinki summit has ignored an
enormously crucial factor - the emergence of China's power treading on the
corns of these two super-powers. US_Russia have to recognise the danger that
when the START expires in 2021, unless renewed with the evolving scenario in
its compelling perspective, China would gather the muscle and motives for a
shot at the global high table. Perhaps this aspect would become so much more
significant than the dead issues like Russian interference in US elections. And
Iran nuclear deal, Indo-Pakistan simmering hot & cold explosions on hold
and other small irritants all over the regions, in shaping the stability, or the
lack of it, during the coming decade.
Aftermath of the world war has
already resulted in Cold War which went for decades. Now the problem aren’t
restricted within the country but have become global. All countries should form
alliance and work for the betterment and solve issues of Global concern.
Trump policy is centered American
first. Russia
wants strong foot holds in Eastern Europe and West Asia. Trump though isolated
but wants to strengthen NATO & wants to continue aggressive war mongering
policies. The design of Trump is to take Putin by his side to silence Russia in
Trump's march of aggression & in return Trump would forgive Russia's so
called entanglement in US election.
Both leaders must have the positive
attitude to establish global peace with joint efforts rather than to analyse
what happened in the past. Trump must shun conservatism with America first
concept and to have diplomacy in dealing with other countries. He wants to
dictate his policies to other countries and never care for consequences. Russia
must also stop interfering in the affairs of other countries. However, Russian
"interference" could not prevent Ms Hillary Clinton from winning the
popular vote.
It is not as if the US has not
intervened in election processes all over the world, not always with subtlety.
The US President matters enormously to the whole world. He should be free to do
his job without worrying all the time about his election victory being put
through an MRI scan.
