Why did Blinken want to eliminate Putin? Trump has boldly revealed his trump card - Vadim Denisенко.

Why did Blinken want to kill Putin?

Tucker Carlson's interview, in which he claims that Blinken planned Putin's assassination, serves as direct preparation for the Trump-Putin negotiations. Trump has openly revealed his main trump card – Putin's fear for his own life.

It is no secret that until recently, both parties in the U.S. maintained a solid stance: negotiations with Russia do not imply a regime change.

A week ago, in his first interviews after the inauguration, Trump threatened Russia with an oil crash. Between the lines, it was possible to read that if there is a refusal of the negotiation proposal, the position on regime change might be reconsidered. Now, through Tucker Carlson (remind you that he interviewed Putin), the Russian leader is being told directly: you could be replaced. This is what the pathologically timid and very indecisive Putin fears the most.

Simultaneously, almost synchronously, India and China announced that they would not purchase Russian oil from March due to rising freight costs. Of course, this is just a warning bell, not a final decision. However, such developments cannot help but create tension (and fear) for Putin.

Overall, Trump's game with Putin currently looks like this: the U.S. president is raising the stakes to the maximum on all fronts, forcing Putin to engage in quick negotiations. The key word is "quick." And now the White House is awaiting "smart" compromises from Russia. Apparently, the White House believes that Putin has almost no options to refuse. However, they have clearly outlined what they will do if he does not agree. But as soon as Putin shows readiness for the same "compromises," Trump's attention may shift to Kyiv.

It seems to me that our mistake lies in the fact that we are still almost silent about our red lines, while focusing heavily on NATO, which, in my opinion, is not gaining traction right now (Trump will begin negotiations with the assertion that Ukraine will not join NATO).
