“THE MUSIC DIDN’T PLAY FOR LONG, AND THE FOOL DIDN’T DANCE FOR LONG.” CNN reportedly says that 75% of Americans believe President Donald Trump should be impeached, convicted, and imprisoned. “Absolutely stunning!” A data analyst was reportedly shocked by Trump's catastrophic disapproval rating among voters under 30 — 91%: “The worst rating I have ever seen in any poll, on any issue, for any president.” In just two years, he has allegedly lost 53% of the support he enjoyed among those who favored him in October 2024. The greatest disgrace and disappointment in American history! Oh, how familiar this all looks. As the old saying goes, “I recognize my brother Vasya.” Trump's story is not nearly as simple or primitive as it might seem. The Kremlin didn't just suddenly force him to dance to its tune. It made him dance a furious cancan — without his underwear. Perhaps the old KGB men scraped the bottom of their barrel and brought back the agency's veterans, the virtuosos of grand provocations. There is something about Trump's story that suggests the experienced hand of old Soviet intelligence officers. Yes, they are all fossils, but they haven't forgotten their trade. Dragged out of retirement and dusted off like ancient relics, these old men apparently couldn't resist weaving one more magnificent web of intrigue. And what a web they have woven. The calculation is correct. So far, everything appears to be proceeding according to plan. It is difficult not to notice what looks like a ruthless and experienced hand guiding foolish Donnie toward the abyss. The old man appears stuffed with disinformation of unmistakably Kremlin-style origin. He is pumped full of rage and inspiration. What has he been promised? Nobody knows. But here's the thing. Everything he is doing now threatens to destroy him politically, partially or completely, and strip him of power. Yet today's Trump is obsessed. He will not surrender his imaginary throne as ruler of the world without a fight. This time, an attempt to remove him could trigger serious civil unrest in the United States. And then America would have little time or attention left for Ukraine and that strange war on the outskirts of Europe. Its missiles might suddenly have entirely different targets. Everything points toward the possibility of a prolonged crisis — perhaps even a bloody nightmare. Chaos in the United States is precisely what Russia desperately needs to pursue its brutal ambitions without interference. And not only in Ukraine. The logic of such an operation would be remarkably simple. Failing to exploit Trump's grandiosity and explosive temperament would be an extraordinary missed opportunity for the Kremlin. Right now, those very characteristics create an opportunity to destabilize the United States and effectively remove it from the geopolitical game. Of course, the Kremlin would eventually lose Trump. But once he has served his purpose, why would they need him anymore? Having played his role as the detonator, Donnie would complete one magnificent arc through political history before landing exactly where discarded instruments belong. On the garbage heap.
