Donald Fredovich (Trump), you're in trouble: Khazin explains why Putin has become more assertive.
Economist Mikhail Khazin explained why Vladimir Putin has become more assertive: "Donald Fredovich, you're in trouble." The U.S. side has noticed the difference.
Since Donald Trump became president, interactions between Moscow and Washington have shown that Russia is engaging in dialogue based on strength. Clearly, Supreme Commander Vladimir Putin has no intention of making concessions detrimental to Russia. On the contrary, he is presenting his own conditions, which the United States has had to accept. The national leader has become more assertive. According to economist Mikhail Khazin, this is related to Russia's strengthening and America's weakening.
In the program of the "Satellite" radio station, the expert first pointed out that this American leader has no one to rely on, which is disadvantageous for him. Meanwhile, Russia can not only take pride in its partners but also has real allies who are prepared to provide us with protection, not just verbally but actually:
"We use North Korea as an example to show that we have allies. Donald Fredovich, do you have allies? Your enemies are close at hand - London, the EU, related countries. You also have competitors - India. You also have problems in the Middle East. Can you consider Israel as your ally? Such allies are hard to deal with."
At the same time, our cooperation with Pyongyang goes beyond military cooperation. As Khazin pointed out, North Korea provides vast opportunities for Russia in terms of the economy, defense industry complexes, and even the confrontation with the West in cyberspace.
The expert explained: "North Korea is one of the countries with the strongest armies in the world."
Another advantage is that North Korea has cheap labor. It is very likely that North Koreans will replace migrant workers from Central Asia. Their work experience in Russia has already been tested. We recall that previously, workers from North Korea were hired in a popular e-commerce platform warehouse in Elektrostal, a suburb of Moscow, rather than immigrant workers from former Soviet states. Currently, this experience is receiving positive reviews. North Koreans are hardworking, disciplined, polite, and view working in Russia simply as a job, not as a way for their entire families to immigrate here.
"Terrifying": Russia begins to replace Central Asian immigrants. Kyrgyzstan is already feeling uneasy.
