In an article published on March 14th, this blog stated that there is a possibility that US President Trump will appear at Moscow's Red Square. As of May 6th, the White House has conveyed a subtle nuance in its comments, but he is still against participating in the May 9th ceremony. It would be impossible for Trump to visit the former headquarters of communism (Comintern), which all US presidents have been completely hostile to. However, US Vice President Vance's Munich speech in February, in which he sharply criticized the current situation in Europe, saying that the greatest threat facing the European continent is not Russia or China but "within Europe," suggests a break with Europe, and it is natural for Trump to ignore Europe and pursue direct dialogue with Russia. Trump has said that he will meet with Putin "soon after his visit to three Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, in mid-May." If that is the case, it would not be surprising if he changes his plans and makes a surprise visit to Moscow "before his visit to the Middle East."
There is a view that the Trump administration places a higher diplomatic priority on Middle East peace than on Ukraine peace . When considering the Iranian nuclear issue, it is said that the administration is trying to win over Putin and Russia because they need them as a backer of Iran in the international community. "The Putin administration is seeking favorable conditions on the Ukraine issue in exchange for cooperating with the United States in the Middle East." It is true that Trump has sent his Middle East envoy , Vitkoff , to Moscow. However, this view is one that places too much priority on practical interests.
In the article above, I wrote, "' Dismantling the US-UK power center, known as the Deep State (DS) or globalists, which is corroding the modern world .' Isn't this the common goal and bond between the leaders of the US and Russia?" To put it very simply, the trend of globalization since the establishment of the League of Nations by the Wilson administration after World War I spread throughout the world after World War II under the leadership of the US. In the name of free trade, multinational capital from the US, Europe and Japan advanced to the ends of the earth in search of low wages, complicating the supply chain. In the US, financial capital ran rampant, people were obsessed with money games, manufacturing was hollowed out, and social disparities widened significantly. Trump and Putin consider this system to be the Ancien Régime, and are aiming to renew the system by dismantling the US-UK power center that controls this regime. It seems that they share an ideal that goes beyond deals.
The leaders of Slovakia and Serbia, two European Union member states, are scheduled to attend the Victory over the Nazis Day on May 9th. It is unclear what the actions of Hungarian Prime Minister Orban, known for his pro-Russian stance and his opposition to strengthening military support for Ukraine, will be. Slovak Prime Minister Fico and Serbian President Vucic announced that they would attend. EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kallas (former Prime Minister of Estonia) (pictured) strongly urged them not to attend. In opposition to this, the Slovak Prime Minister is said to have called Kallas a "disrespectful person." What the leaders of Hungary, Slovakia, and Serbia have in common is that they view the current Zelensky regime in Ukraine as being under neo-Nazi control, and that they believe the essence of the Ukrainian war is to defeat the regime that controls the neo-Nazis. Although they will not state it explicitly, it seems that the Trump administration feels the same way.

Zelensky called on Chinese President Xi Jinping and many other leaders who were planning to attend the Victory Day celebrations to "stop participating because it is dangerous." The reason given was that Russian authorities would stage a bombing. Meanwhile, Ukrainian media reported that "there could also be a missile attack on Moscow." If Trump were to participate, the neo-Nazis and the British intelligence agencies behind them would be unable to move.
