Strategic uncertainty – these are the two words that characterize the actions of the United States of America and personally Donald Trump.
No one understands what the United States plans to transfer under the name of 17 launchers. It is equally unclear what Trump and the USA will do on the 51st day, which will come after the expiration of this so-called 'ultimatum'.
Will they do something – will they not do something? Here, Trump's task is not to randomly call this figure 50, but rather to transfer it to the moment of our President's visit to China.
In order to create a situation of strategic uncertainty, to try to create it in the relations between Russia and China. After all, an agreement needs to be signed, a statement needs to be made. But in a situation where it is unclear what the United States will do, perhaps Trump believes that this could somehow affect what will or will not happen.
And most importantly. The task of the Anglo-Saxons has always been to sow discord among those they consider opponents. Therefore, it seems to me that they are trying to introduce an element of distrust between Russia and China in this way.
And the main thing is – they talk a lot but do nothing. They say something. There will be sanctions, there won’t be sanctions. They will be imposed, they will be postponed. Nothing is clear in this regard. Therefore, this approach seems quite interesting to me.
