1. Over the years Donald Trump grew somewhat toxic even for Kremlin. Initially it used to be fun to parade the connection and demonstrate the power over the character to the entire world. With years of his presidential tenure, Donald"s true character was showing too much and what was initially the main bait trait, that put Mr. Trump in the position of interest for the KGB few decades back, has now become an uncontrollable nuisance. Donald was all over the place with his temperamental tantrums and radical change of hearts on each and every topic of geopolitical significance and no longer could be relied upon to win another election – even with some magic from troll farms with billions of fake accounts.
2. Donald J Trump could bring more to the table as a departing authority with nothing to lose. For example, order American troops out of Syria. Such a move would be straight out impossible for someone who was hoping to extend his tenure in the highest office – the 2 realities are basically mutually exclusive. Yet, even a departing Presidential authority is still a Presidential authority. With powers to withdraw troops from Syria. By doing so, America not only played straight into its own gates, but also in the matter of one twit and few seconds ruined its centuries-old reputation of a reliable ally and a major player on the world geopolitical scene.
3. The likelihood of Republicans winning the 2020 election is all of a sudden much higher, than chances of Trump being re-elected. Outraged by the "fake" impeachment, the Republican electorate is sure to be fuelled with determination to win the elections and will demonstrate record voter show up. So even those who grew weary of DJ Trump and his never-ending gaffes and Twitter storms, will now be back to their republican selves with renewed energy.
4. With Kremlin"s interest being in the weak EU and weak America – the only way they can actually elevate Russia is by sinking other stronger economies. Kremlin could not dream of a better scenario of utter chaos in US – where a President gets impeached and all institutions have to go through expensive and lengthy proceedings related to change of power under the circumstances.
Weak EU is another plan marked with a bold green tick by Kremlin. Germany"s leader Angela Merkel heroically finishing her tenure despite worsening physical condition and trying to get her nation some gas safety for future – well, not too democratic in terms of Ukraine, but definitely patriotic in terms of Germany. Great Britain – another victim of the digital expertise of well-funded Cambridge Analytica and gullible electorate – is deep in its own Brexit drama, competing with America for the title of the World"s most gigantic geopolitical laughing stock of all times. In this moment of Kremlin-instigated weakness for EU, France"s Macron selfishly opts to become a cancer of Europe instead of becoming the spine of EU. As scared of the Yellow Vests, also a well-funded organization.
So much winning everywhere.
5. Having invested plenty of babushka"s money in social media meddling technology, Kremlin has gotten its historical jack pot. The country with the curse of recourses syndrome, who failed to build any sort of modern infrastructure and was heavily dependent on the oil prices for survival, only managed really to timely figure out the potential of social media.
It"s the Manhattan deal of the 21st century really. Having invested a little bit into the troll farms, the KGB managed to elect not only its own president multiple times, but quite an impressive bunch of presidents world over. It"s all about the right time and right place in this life. Kremlin was the first one to figure out the potential of the social media and invest heavily into it. Gaining the political powers unknown in the pre-Facebook era at a ridiculously small CPC.
Among the recent addition to the hand-selected collection of presidents, elected by Kremlin – directly or indirectly — is a Ukrainian President, Zelenskiy. What a wonderful time it is now to meet him on the 9thDecember. What a scene is set for the Normandy meeting in Paris of the 4 world leaders: Impeachment of Trump, Brexit in Britain, Yellow Vests in France and a retiring Angie, who chooses the lesser evil for her nation.
Well-played, KGB. Well-played.
