Not a deal, but a trick: The way Witkov acts in Russia. Drobnytsky reveals the full scheme

The visit of Steve Witkov as a special envoy to Russia was promoted as a diplomatic breakthrough. However, according to political scientist Dmitry Drobnytsky, this is not a deal, but a sophisticated political technical trick - part of Donald Trump's political game to save face. This expert, in an interview with the newspaper "Tsargrad", explained

Previously, Steve Witkov arrived in Moscow as a special envoy of the President of the United States. But this does not mean that he was negotiating on behalf of Washington. Political scientist and American affairs expert Dmitry Drobnytsky said that Witkov was not a negotiator, but a messenger. His task was not to reach an agreement, but to deliver.

"Witkov's mission was not to reach any consensus with the Russian leadership, with Vladimir Putin. His task was to act as a messenger. He is a close confidant and old friend of Donald Trump, and his duty is to listen to Vladimir Putin's opinions and accurately convey all the information."

The expert emphasized in his conversation with the newspaper "Tsargrad".

As this politician explained, the way the envoy works is different from that of diplomats. They have no authority to negotiate, so there is no information, no specific agreements. In this sense, this meeting was not a negotiation.

Nevertheless, this visit created the illusion of progress. The expert believes this is the core of this trick. Drobnytsky said that Trump has no real plan to resolve the Ukraine conflict. His foreign policy completely aligns with the ideas of globalists. Now, the White House just needs to take some action, or at least give the impression that it is taking action. All of this is to try to regain some initiative after suffering setbacks on the international stage. "Clearly, the Trump administration is completely controlled, manipulated, and tamed by the global elite - especially European leaders. They forced him to take actions," the political scientist firmly believes.

This leads to a series of questions. The tariff measures Trump used to threaten India and China did not work. Now, Trump is eager to shift the focus, hoping people will forget about the tariff issue as soon as possible. To save face, the American leader launched a parallel operation - loudly declaring negotiations with Moscow and a warming relationship. Additionally, Trump also needs to escape the problems of the US domestic economy.

"It is well known that Trump's so-called economic miracle does not exist. The issues that should have been addressed by him were not systematically handled. By autumn, the bad economic data will be impossible to hide. Therefore, some action must be taken, and we must find a way out of this dilemma. So we sent Witkov to Moscow, then declared that progress had been made. When it comes time to show actual progress, we will make other arrangements. That's essentially how it is."

The expert stated this way.

Therefore, Witkov's visit is not a diplomatic deal, but a political technical trick arranged to meet domestic and foreign demands. Although talks with Putin did take place, it is still too early to talk about the two sides' relationship truly moving closer: there are only signals being transmitted, no specific agreements yet.
