The US can\u2019t even figure out who invented this \u201c28-point plan\u201d \u2014 Washington, Moscow, or the all-too-familiar \u201cprivate diplomats\u201d we know so well.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"67\" data-end=\"286\">The US Congressional delegation at the Halifax International Security Summit told reporters that Secretary of State Rubio had called them to say that the 28-point list was <strong data-start=\"243\" data-end=\"284\">\u201ca Russian wish list, not a US plan.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"288\" data-end=\"481\">Within hours, Washington was insisting that the Secretary\u2019s words had been misunderstood. Meanwhile, Rubio oscillated between <strong data-start=\"414\" data-end=\"444\">\u201cwe have no business here\u201d<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"449\" data-end=\"479\">\u201cthis is our strong plan.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"483\" data-end=\"615\">This is how people behave when they know full well that the entire structure is about to collapse \u2014 and that everyone will suffer.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"617\" data-end=\"717\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">One thing is certain: the reaction in Washington was chaotic, contradictory, and mutually exclusive.<\/p>\n<p>But the most interesting thing is something else.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/the-ideal-default-partner-why-trump-is-playing-on-moscows-side\/\">The ideal default partner: why Trump is playing on Moscow&#8217;s side<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p data-start=\"67\" data-end=\"262\">This document did not immediately resemble an American \u201cstate plan,\u201d as I noted from the very beginning, because it was riddled with contradictions and contained utterly primitive formulations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"264\" data-end=\"639\">A proper plan would have included mechanisms and deadlines for each item, along with prescribed regulatory and procedural actions. Only later did knowledgeable observers detect, in the English version, traces of Russian interpretations \u2014 and then, essentially, fell into place. I wrote a few days ago about Russia\u2019s potential gains from this \u201cspecial operation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"641\" data-end=\"898\">The main question that haunts us is: <strong data-start=\"678\" data-end=\"896\">\u201cHow? How did it happen that a crude, unbalanced, and completely meaningless list \u2014 from the perspective of US strategic interests \u2014 ended up on the table in the Oval Office and was even approved by the president?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"1012\">And if the answer is oversight, that is dangerous. If the answer is a Russian game, it is even more dangerous.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1014\" data-end=\"1217\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Because if such absurdity is elevated to the highest level of approval, what could come next? The forcible annexation of Canada? A declaration of war on Europe? Joint Russian-American military exercises?<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/a-set-of-random-sentences-what-is-the-real-goal-of-trump-s-peace-plan\/\">\u201cA set of random sentences\u201d: what is the real goal of Trump\u2019s \u201cpeace plan\u201d<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p data-start=\"67\" data-end=\"159\">So much psychological turmoil! And almost heart attacks \u2014 both among us and across Europe.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"161\" data-end=\"276\">Now the US is beginning to back away from this \u201cplan.\u201d Even Trump calls the published 28-point \u201cgame\u201d incomplete.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"278\" data-end=\"419\">All this commotion is strongly reminiscent of some utterly pointless scene, where the characters get lost in their own versions of \u201ctruth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"421\" data-end=\"544\">Is it funny? No. I cannot recall such chaos from a US administration in over 30 years of following international affairs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"546\" data-end=\"855\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">If this world has not yet completely collapsed, it is certainly moving confidently in this \u201cstrategic\u201d direction. I would love to live to see the moment when full-scale repairs begin.
