“Take as much sovereignty as you can!”

The title of the article is a paraphrase of the famous saying of Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin, addressed to the regional leaders of Russia: “Take as much sovereignty for yourself as you can capture ...”

Then the regions, especially the national republics, grabbed so many rights that they later had to give up. Since the viability of the Russian Federation was under threat.

But let us turn to the information flow roaring at our feet. Or on our screens, at eye level.

The President of the United States of America otchebuch second curt bow to Israel in recent months: he recognized the Golan Heights as Israeli territory.

Our analysts explain Trump's next escapade (remember, he only recently recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but as far as I know, even the American embassy did not move to Jerusalem) by saying that old Trump is a service to President Netanyahu , and Israeli judges are pursuing him: he is accused of something like embezzlement.

I am always skeptical against expert analysts and their standardized, standard explanation of world events every time. I'll let you know why.

First, some statistics that the billionaire president might not know. Why? He is far from a know-it-all: he was engaged in entrepreneurship all his business life and was not interested in him professionally, thus, or Jews and their number were of little interest.

Jews currently live in two large crowds - in Israel and in the United States of America, and in the third and subsequent countries there are already many fewer.

For obvious reasons, 6 million Jews currently live in Israel. The United States is in second place, they live in them, and for obvious reasons, too, 5.5 million. In the third place is France, by the way. About half a million Jews live in France - God give them happiness, wherever they live.

But for the subject of our interest, and we are interested in it in this article, how many Jews live in the USA, so I repeat: 5.5 million. A lot.

However, according to the 2009 census, 48,419,324 people lived in the United States, indicating Spanish as their mother tongue.

It seems that Trump was brought up in an outdated American political tradition that obliges American politicians to appease the Jewish electorate organized around influential synagogues. And Trump just does not keep these shocking figures in mind at the same time - that is 5.5 million and that 48 million.

Influence on the American elections, the Jewish population of the United States long ago gave way to the Spanish people. And they are all better organized. And for Trump, America is first.

In fact, a significant increase in the share of the Spanish electorate in the American elections has long been no longer news in the United States, but a little late businessman in politics, maybe not in the topic properly, eh?

If old Trump remembered both figures at the same time - five and a half million and 48 million, I’m got the impression if he remembered these numbers side by side, he wouldn’t be in a hurry to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but would simply keep silent about Golan Heights. In any case, they are under Israeli occupation. So Donald Trump did not cost this gift to Israel ...

Well, of course, Trump knows that Israel is the outpost of Americanism in the Middle East, and supports Israel morally: he threw up his statement about the transfer of the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which means nothing in practice, then called Jerusalem ) graciously "gave" the Golan Heights to Israel, which Israel has already been since 1967.

In vain, without spending a single dollar in this case, Trump was reputed to be an advocate for the Jews - and cheaply and angrily, as the proverb says. Not exactly accurate in this case. But I have no other for you.

True, Trump also continues to seek money for his wall, forgetting that the construction of the wall will repel the Spanish-speaking electorate from him. How do we know - maybe he assumes that with his poor white Americans, with his own, as they say, forces ... he thinks that he will have enough of them to win the next election? We do not know...

By the way, with the wall, he just lost a billion dollars.

The Congressional Armed Forces Committee rejected a request to transfer $ 1 billion from the Pentagon’s budget in 2019 to build a wall with Mexico. The paper was signed by Adam Smith, the chairman of this committee.

The Jewish state cannot do anything for Trump in this case. So he in vain jumps out with his suggestions.

Europeans and the UN did not support Trump with the Golan Heights. He said - and everyone will forget.

This is the worst that can happen to the Great Khan. When he takes initiative, the world does not listen to them.

The misfortune of the United States (bad luck the United States) - in several elderly provincial presidents, engraved in its history. And they made America older than the world around it. The most famous are Reagan and Trump.

The United States has ceased to coincide with the modern world. In his relationship with Israel, Trump behaves like a president of another era, lost in time.

What are the danger of elderly provincial presidents?

Reagan’s view of Russia as a communist "evil empire" came in an era when the USSR was no longer, in the impotent Gorbachev era, and Trump, well, we see that he attributes Stalin’s aggressiveness to our Russia.

Therefore, they do not understand us. We are more modern than them. Their view of the world is darker, meaner, more ancient and more bloody. They still have the era of President Truman in the courtyard. And we behave with them, as if they still have an era of funny Kennedy. And by the way - where is our Masha Butina?
