“DO NOT CONGRATULATE”

yakov_a_jerkov — 21.03.2018 Теги: Путин Обама Трамп Сегодня был получен ответ на вопрос Поздравит ли Трамп Путина?

Трамп Путина поздравил. Причем в записи по ссылке, еще до поздравлений, мне говорили, что ну как не поздравить, традиция такая, да и Обама Путина в 2012 году поздравил.

Теперь мы знаем, что это все ерунда. Советники Трампа (которые знают о традициях больше, чем Трамп) специально инструктировали Трампа НЕ поздравлять Путина с победой на выборах во время сегодняшнего телефонного звонка.

President Trump did not follow specific warnings from his national security advisers when he congratulated Russian President Vladi­mir Putin Tuesday on his reelection, including a section in his briefing materials in all-capital letters stating “DO NOT CONGRATULATE,” according to officials familiar with the call.

Trump also chose not to heed talking points from aides instructing him to condemn Putin about the recent poisoning of a former Russian spy in the United Kingdom with a powerful nerve agent, a case that both the British and U.S. governments have blamed on Moscow. Ну, вот как это объяснить? Самое доброжелательное объяснение -- это, наверное, "Трамп вообще не смотрел на briefing materials". Но это же совсем идиотизм какой-то.

Теперь о самом факте поздравлений. Да, Обама тоже поздравил Путина в 2012 году. Обама сделал это позже и формулировка была несколько другой. Но это excuses, Обама был тогда неправ. Как неправы сейчас все западные политики, которые поздравили Путина.

Но черт даже с ними с поздравлениями. Более важно другое. (via tijd)

Из сегодняшнего брифинга пресс-секретаря Трампа:

Q Does the White House believe that the election in Russia was free and fair?

MS. SANDERS: Look, in terms of the election there, we’re focused on our elections. Yet it is hardly uncommon for American presidents to call on other countries to enact democratic reforms and hold fair elections.

Vice President Pence on Wednesday is scheduled to speak to the Organization for American States and is expected to press the Latin American group’s members to raise pressure on Venezuela’s government to hold free and fair elections.

Last summer, the White House slapped sanctions on what it called the "illegitimate" Venezuelan government after President Nicolás Maduro tried to bypass the legislature to rewrite the nation's constitution.

“The United States once again calls for free and fair elections and stands with the people of Venezuela in their quest to restore their country to a full and prosperous democracy,” Trump said in a statement last July.

Но даже черт с ним, с лицемерием. Многие спрашивают, что Россия выиграла от избрания Трампа. Сам по себе отказ президента США от критики ситуации с правами человека в России, отказ от критики того, как в России проводятся выборы уже существенный выигрыш для России.

tijd приводит знаменитое заявление Хиллари Клинтон в декабре 2011 года:

We have serious concerns about the conduct of those elections. Independent political parties, such as PARNAS, were denied the right to register. And the preliminary report by the OSCE cites election day attempts to stuff ballot boxes, manipulate voter lists, and other troubling practices.

We’re also concerned by reports that independent Russian election observers, including the nationwide Golos network, were harassed and had cyber attacks on their websites, which is completely contrary to what should be the protected rights of people to observe elections, participate in them, and disseminate information.

We commend those Russian citizens who participated constructively in the electoral process. And Russian voters deserve a full investigation of electoral fraud and manipulation. And we recognize the Russian Government’s willingness to allow the OSCE to observe these elections, we now hope and urge them to take action on the recommendations that will be forthcoming from the OSCE electoral observer mission.

The Russian people, like people everywhere, deserve the right to have their voices heard and their votes counted. And that means they deserve fair, free, transparent elections and leaders who are accountable to them.
