In his opinion, if Trump is elected, he will not try to convince Putin, but will simply name his conditions.
“Trump is a man with an inflated ego, and if the position of President of the United States also emphasizes this, then he sincerely believes that if he will make an offer to Putin, then Putin must accept this offer. And if Putin does not accept this offer, then he can act by force, because Putin will be afraid of him,” says the journalist.
The analyst believes that the 2024 elections in the United States (if Trump is elected) are comparable to the 2019 elections in Ukraine, when Vladimir Zelensky was elected.
“First there will be attempts to reach an agreement. Then, when it becomes clear that Putin does not want to reach an agreement, there will be a sharp cooling in relations. And then a forceful blow may occur, and each will consider that the other will be afraid. However, since both live in their own world, then no one will be afraid and the Third World War will begin. I don’t know whether it will also happen in North America or only in Europe,” says Portnikov.
