It is a bit early to assess the substantive impact of the meeting and the decisions that were “taken” at the meeting of the two leaders of the largest nuclear arsenals on the planet.
The quotation marks are there to emphasize that nothing is ever decided at such meetings. The agenda is set months in advance and the two designated staffs of the leaders process them based on their central instructions and reach a certain point of preliminary agreement. Then, after the issues have matured, the final draft is presented to the leaders. The necessary additions – subtractions, perhaps even setbacks, are made, and when they reach -any- agreement, then “the meeting is announced”.
No leader wants to appear in public, be greeted and discussed only to leave without doing anything or even defeated. Thus, the process we are describing is necessary.
Then, one will ask, what is all the fuss and the drumbeating about?
For two essential communication reasons with different recipients.
1. The first reason concerns the way politics is conducted today. It is a message to the people. It is fodder for the media. There will be a discussion about who was more comfortable, tougher or more tolerant. Taller or more beautiful. Do not underestimate this aspect of the meeting. If it were not important for the ease of political maneuvering, such people would not enter the process of giving the performance.
Unfortunately, in our time, the political image often shapes the political agenda, no matter how shallow and dangerous it may be. The masses have been trained to accept, seek, consume, trust, and even fight, for the sake of a well-groomed image.
2. The second reason is a variation of the first. It is also a communication message, but this time it is addressed to the other leaderships. It sends them a message about who or who are the “big guys”. Who has the real power. In this particular meeting, the message was sent by the US and Russian Federation leaderships to those who were absent from the summit.
Both leaderships therefore “put the European Union in its place”. They conveyed that you will execute. And based on the first reason we mentioned, they conveyed it to the voters of the EU.
The discrediting of the EU leadership team, that is, the 3-4 officials and the Prime Ministers/Presidents of the European states, is vertical. Putin, whom the EU is fighting furiously, has proven who is truly marginalized but also who has the power to marginalize. And the important thing? It did it with Trump’s participation!
The EU, to the chagrin of many millions of Europeans, is officially proving itself incapable and insufficient to have a strong geopolitical say. Willingly and unwillingly! Let European citizens not support defeatists to lead them, so as not to suffer the consequences.
And of course, the “agreed upon summit” should be put forward and approved by the Ukrainian leadership and NATO allies…
Here we are not just laughing, but laughing to tears…
Ukraine’s absence from negotiations on the war on its territory is a thunderous communication message. At first glance, it shows how much Zelensky has lost the acceptance of those who threw him into the war. The “sector commander” of the region failed and the personnel office is already conducting interviews for his replacement…
In a deeper analysis, it proves what we at The Liberal Globe have been saying and writing from the very beginning, namely that the Ukrainian war is a proxy war between the US and Russia. That NATO poked the bear and when it bit, it makes the victim…
The absence of the EU, also thunderous, shows that the support for the failed sector commander was incomplete and ineffective and drags it into the disfavor of the big bosses. It also shows that puppet leaders have limited use and duration.
Another important message from the summit is Putin’s statement: “if Trump had been in power in 2022, this war would not have even happened.”
It is a clear message of support for the American President and the new team of collaborators in the White House. Here Putin is either returning support or making an overture of goodwill towards Trump. The future will clarify which of the two is true. As we mentioned above, it is too early to evaluate the results of the meeting, which is why we dealt with the architecture of the summit itself.
We hope that the disdain for the weak leaders of the EU will serve the European people and help change the mentality, a mentality that condemns Europe to a showpiece.
