Trump, Zelensky, Putin: The Deal-Making is On.

- In this edition of Issues of Contemporary Politics with Dr. Brovkin, I discus the opening phase of the deal-making between Presidents Trump, Zelensky and Putin. Is there a contradiction between a call for NATO to increase defense spending and a call to Putin to make a deal? Is a method of threats of sanctions going to move Putin to deal? I also discuss Mr. Arestovich's criticism of Zelensky and some of his revelations of corruption in Ukraine.
Dr. Brovkin is an American historian, former Harvard Professor of Soviet History, the author of several books on Russian History, all available on Amazon. His latest book: From Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin: Russia in Search of Its Identity (London: Routledge 2023) is available from Barbes and Noble, Amazon, and Routledge.com
Another great performance from the excellent Prof. Brovkin, thank you for being so informative
Thanks for listening
Thank you from France Dr Brovkin. Best wishes
merci
Thank you dr. Brovkin for excellent report!
From Serbia 🇷🇸 with love!
It would be nice of Serbia joined BRICS
@vladimirbrovkin4052
Indeed!!!

Wonderful job my prof
thank you
Trump could hire Professor Brovkin to teach him something about Russia History and about what is to be Russian.....
Professor, thank you for this great content.
thank you
Excellent
I agree, Trump needs better advisers...who will tell him what is really going on and tech him some history of Russia..
“Peacekeepers” is a euphemism for NATO troops on Ukrainian soil fighting Russians, which is why Zelensky wants them and Putin doesn’t.
exactly right
You know that fool is high out of his mind,to even suggest this nonsense.
NATO forces as peace keepers in Ukraine? It would mean that NATO achieved its objective to have their troops very next to Russia border. Congratulation. May be they will not need any Ukrainiens.
Thank you, Dr.Brovkin!
Thanks for listening
Great podcast and very informative ❤🙏🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
A course of EU arming for war to come back certainly would mean nuclear war. Why would Europe spend so much on an offensive position and deprive their public of social advancement, this would cause internal chaos and revolution.
Truly they do not have the money for 2% let alone 5%.France is all in debt same Germany same Britain
Evidently, they are following the dictates of their master puppeteer (USA).
While going around the world destroying nations and making money for a few within their military-industrial complex, the country deteriorates.
We hear that American subways are infested with homeless drug addicts
Tucker Carlson warned people when he took a tour of Russia last year. Since then, more people have said the same, comparing Russia cities and China cities with those of Germany and the US.
Sad but the British empire went through the same.
The British empire morped into the American empire and then died. Now, the American empire is on its way
It is the cycle of life
When narrative meets reality
yes true
Thanks for truth, proffessor. From mother Russia with love

High profile analyst: Neutral and unbiased. Most news readers should learn from you!
so glad to hear this
Thank you, Prof. Brovkin, for thoutfull summery of the positions in the Ukraine/NATO/Russia conflict
glad to try
Thank you so much I appreciate you explaining this so well and making a lot of sense.🇨🇦❤️🙌🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊
so happy to hear that
I just listened to your appearance on Russians With Attitude. I hope to hear you speak further on Soviet history with them in the future.
You have many hours of videos on Professor Brovkin channel. He is the very best you can find among English speaking content.
Thank you, Mr Brovkin.
Arestovich is saying different things every other day. Recently, in his interview, he was very supportive of the Azov leader Beletsky. You cannot trust Arestovich, he will sell his mother easily. Also, he is psychologically unstable.
yes, true, but his data on corruption is interesting
That's politicians for you
America still considers itself a colossus that rules the world and always negotiates from a position of strength. It is so blinded by its power and strength that it doesn’t notice the changes taking place in the world and the new powers with which it is much better to talk on friendly terms and look for positive solutions than to scare,threaten,demand,punish and fight,which can end tragically for the entire world. It doesn’t learn anything from making the same mistakes over and over again. We need to look for friends,not create enemies.This builds the world,makes it better and more beautiful. Thank you Dr.Brovkin for the interesting,wonderful lectures and analyses.
I agree completely
yes I agree completely
Thank you Mr.Brovkin

Excellent analysis. Thank you.

Wonderful Presentation doc. Always a pleasure listening to your analysis & wisdom

You are absolutely right Dr. brovkin. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
The only deal that Russia should agree to is the unconditional surrender of Ukraine. May sound harsh but what other way to deal with N@zis?
The only way indeed.
That is probably where it is going
@@vladimirbrovkin4052 For me it's been certain that Russia will win the war. Well actually Russia won already 20.5.2022 in Mariupol
Why, because Zelensky is a N@zi and all members of his government are Na@is? Not even Putin is saying anything about N@is governing Ukraine. You're mistaken.
From a European perspective, there cannot be any appeasement for the Russian Nazi dictator, like 1939 it would only lead to more aggression from the Russian Nazis.
As usual, Brilliant insight, thanks ❤
welcome
I’ve been suspecting for a while that arestovich being in “exile” in the US is the American backup plan for when an alternative will be needed…
Yes, he may indeed be one
Thank you for this interesting analysis and perspective, Professor Brovkin. Are you aware of any advisors to President Trump who you believe have a solid understanding of the Russian perspective on these issues and/or who could bring a realistic approach to these negotiations?
Not, really. The closest around him to a reasonable perspective are Vance, Kennedy, Musk, and Carlson Tucker.
I like the way you are so excellent.
So nice of you
Good info Thanks !
thank you
As an old-time Soviet Studies degree holder and Yale Grad political science student in former U.S. National Security Agency Director's, Lt. Gen. General Willian Odom, ret., 1990 Soviet Military Policy class, I couldn't agree more with your analysis of the present situation. The very confused incoming U.S. "Ukraine War" foreign policy makers, like the outgoing ones, are still nowhere near ready to come to terms with the reality on the ground. Additionally, idiotic unforced comments like: "60 million killed in USSR (instead of 27 million in the USSR and 60 million for the entire world) during WWII"; "referring to Spain as a BRICS nation"; and, Trump's obvious ignorance about the fact that 75-80 percent of the great German Wehrmacht was defeated, not by the West, but by the Soviets on the Eastern Front, all do little to instill confidence that the Russians are now finally going to be negotiating with well-informed, competent, realistic "balance of power-oriented" American dealmakers in matters of E. European geopolitics.
You are absolutely right. In fact the Russians are furious at Trump when he said that Russia HELPED the US win WW2. They believe they did it.
In fact Trump should be better informed about basic things or else he risks not being taken seriously.
WONDERFULL ANALYS THANK YOU PROF
glad to hear that
Solid and sober analysis without taking sides! 💪🏻
thanks
Why is Mr Trump starting the negotiation on social media before the planned conversation with Mr Putin? This kind of be behaviour is unlikely to lead to a constructive interaction.
good point
Its Trump's Idea of a Public Relations strategy to Placate the Corporate Oligarchical Military Industrial Complex Circus of Clowns!
He thinks Putin is Kim😂😂😂
@@e.d.c6700 Trump is an imbecile
I was always curious why in so many videos, the Ukrainians would drive their equipment up to the Russian zone, and then everyone would bail out and retreat back to their side. Trump will always make bombastic statements, that’s his style. But when he talks with Putin, they’ll get down to serious business.
I hope so
Nope, Trump and US don't want this and will never want to give up the throne
@ So you believe there won’t be any negotiations whatsoever? I believe you’re thinking is rather infantile.
@ Please remember that long before he became a politician, Trump used to openly state that America and Russia should become allies. That’s one of the reasons why, when he ran for president, the military industrial complex immediately began using their sources to start opposition to him, through amongst other things, the so-called“Russia hoax”. I am a former United States Army combat officer, whose grandfather fought for the Russians in World War I. He was then evacuated, after the civil war, along with many other “Whites” to America. Keep up the good work.
One bully is following by the next!
NOTHING NEW IN (FROM) THE WEST!
good point
@ 🤗
Trump should show some humility towards Russia after all it was Victoria Nuland and the neo cons who created the environment for this conflict.🇦🇺
He does not have to show any humility, the reality of the day, not just in Russia but also from the rest of the world will teach him to swallow the cool pill.
It does not appear that Trump is aware of how isolated the USA and the entire west had become not to mention how less influential
good point
What power does America have over Russia such that Russia will be subjected to sanctions. Are they not both superpowers? Can't Russia sanction America in retaliation?
The current global financial system is controlled by the West with the Dollar as the reserve currency. Hence one of the reasons for BRICS to find an alternative system for trade.
Russia is NOT a superpower. Its GDP is less than a tenth of the USA’s.
Russian real GDP is about 9 trillion which is a third of the US
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Russian have never been in such good position on ‘the ground’ would be a mistake to halt the momentum. They should move toward the road leading to Dnipropetrovsk!!! Then bargain. Without Nikolaev and Odessa any deal is meaningless.
good point
Great analysis ❤ dr!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you!
welcome
Great video! Ukraine has suffered a lot more than 300K casualties, as one of regime's early spin doctors Arestovich has a lot to answer for! Also, Alexander Mercouris has very interesting take on Trump's statement on his podcast today!
Yes I heard him, and his idea that Trump did not mention arming Ukraine as as option, which he did threaten to do before elections. A deal is still possible.
Those bombastic statements were to confuse the enemy and be as he always is, unpredictable..
yes you r right
They don't confuse. They insult important people of substance.
@ politics is the art of insulting and putting others down, it is a dirty business, that’s why moral decent people don’t enter politics!!
Well, everyone knows now that those threats and boasts are empty.
Let him blow wind.
@ now we have to wonder what he was really referring to. I’m neutral when it comes to Trump. Politics has always been a dirty game.
Bravo, another great video. Do you feel Trump will just slap some more tariffs on Russia and walk away to wash his hands of it. I feel Russia should not trust the west and cut Ukraine off of access from Odessa. And why is Russia not making headway on Karkiv?
Trump may well walk away. First the Russians will take the rest of Donetsk province, i.e. Slavyansk, and then if there is no deal, they'll go for kharkov and Odessa.
Спасибо, Профессор! Как всегда - объективно. Это была ошибка Трампа таким образом начинать разговор с Путиным. Выпутаться будет сложно, не потеряв лица. Есть такое мнение, что через некоторое время он заявит, что он сделал все, что мог. Обе стороны не пошли на соглашение, поэтому он умывает руки.
This can well happen. spasibo
Zelensky wants to negotiate peace with the US. In other words, he wants the US to tell Russia to stop fighting and then provide American troops to ensure that it does.
yes that is so

11:17 I would say that isn't the appropriate idiom to use, since quitting while one is ahead/winning", usually refers to things likeGambling etc or where one is just being lucky, rather than skilful or diligent.
Perhaps, but the meaning is clear, why stop the offensive when it is going on and when a part of Donetsk province has not been taken over?
@@vladimirbrovkin4052 Indeed :)
Trump makes a lot of threats but he is always willing to negotiate.
Yes, he is a business in the first place.
that is his style
It is very sad to state how Europe is stubborn concerning warmongering
Trump is bluffing
Outstanding statement professor❤
thank you
I kinda disagree. When Trump says end the war Russia or else (i will do nothing). The message is to Ukraine: YOYO (You’re On Your Own).
may be so
I hope Trump doesn't disappoint his base in America.
me too
Для русскоязычного человека фраза "Трамп peace deal" имеет замечательный двойной смысл. Он действительно много peace deal'т.
When people say that it is every country can join NATO if they want to. But this is not for the country to decide, but for ALL other NATO countries and NATO chief! This means that accepting some country is a political move, not an act of solidarity.
Always annoys me when people say that "everyone must join if they want to" NO!
That is right, every NATO country has to agree to a new member. Well Hungary has already said No.
You should have many more prescribers.
I am trying.
Dr. Brovkin, I think Trump fired his first salvo at Putin to see or at least get a reaction? He is feeling the waters as the saying goes? However when Putin and Trump will sit down together face to face, a lot of hard dealings are going to take place. Let us hope that all in all the dealings of the sanctions price of oil and Europe's future regarding security, nothing will fall short of perhaps a 50.50 chance they will all be achieved! As usual Doctor, very insightful analysis.
I agree. I still think they will make a deal
@@vladimirbrovkin4052 Already I saw a piece of news which had not made headlines, yet. 20,000 US troops to be removed from Europe? Trump is concerned more about the southern boarder than Europe's boarders!
Thankfully mr's cry Baby borvkina didn't promote " the new world order/Novus ordo seclorum" in this video. 👍❤️🇷🇺
thanks
Powder & probably most drugs affect short & long term memory... Probably, I'm not MD🤣
good point
if Zelensky said he would be ready to negotiate, then it means Trump has his back to some extent. The Trump deal is not going to benefit Russia at all.
Trump is playing to the gallery and blowing steam
He will learn his lessons soon. Give hims time. Meanwhile, Russia conyinues its winning streaks
we shall see. Putin is an experienced diplomat
@@vladimirbrovkin4052 he is, so is Trump. I read the art of the deal some time ago and I can say that Trump doesn't play a game without an ace up his sleave, or without carefully wirking out his plan. He is very good at managing risk. He always keeps people in doubt of what he is going to do and how he is going to do it. That's why it's so strange to me. People used to say that he would ebd the war in Ukraine in a day, and asszmed that he will cut off aid to Ukraine. which hasn't happened. As far as I can see, he also wants the US to be the main arbiter of peace and that Russia signs peace on US terms, not the ones that Russia fought for. So if I had to guess, I would say that Trump promised something to Zelensky in return for him agreeing to peace negotiations. Maybe Trump wants to give tze Dinbass to Russia as a token victory, but he is also going to tell Putin to lower his BRICS ambitions, or tell him to stop supplying Europe to India so that Europe only has one option to get oil and gas from, which is a lot more dangerous than the previous administration, because Trump is actually competent in escalating these things if necessary. For example, US has put sanctuons on the serbian oil company NIS for working with russian Gazprom. There are many avenues of approach to these negotiations between Russia and USA.
All the best to you Dr. Brovkin
How is it a "new security architecture for Europe" when it's the same OSCE Collective Security Agreements established already for decades?
Deja vu. It is true. This was already done once and then forgotten
@@vladimirbrovkin4052 My question, why doesn't Russia articulate there's no new negotiations necessary, we just have to adher to what's been hammered out for decades already?
👍👏🤗
thank you
The Russians are right, there must be a security arrangement for ALL countries in (Eastern) Europe. Including Russia. NATO must be dismantled
What tariffs, what sanctions, which force, weapon, or power has Russia not been subjected to and defeated? America and Europe swallow your defeat and go home. Russia is not Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Gaza, Iraq, or Yugoslavia. Russia is arguably the best military power in the world.
agree completely, thank you
No Deal.
probably
Thank you for your insights. Glory to Russia from Haiti. We are still waiting for Mr Putin here.
thank you
This old audiobook, narrated by Trump himself, is extremely pertinent today: th-cam.com/video/Mq2as5M2jBU/w-d-xo.html
very interesting
Thank you Dr. But I must ask, when you say Russia does not sell anything to the USA, what about the uranium, fertilisers, Rare metals and heavy oil that the USA has issued waivers for to the current sanctions and has done since 2022. The total so far is well over several billion dollars worth and more than that these are imports that the USA relies upon for its nuclear power plants, and for running its freight across the country and without which the USA economy would suffer significantly as well as the people of the USA.
yes, you are right about all that. But 5 billion is nothing compared with hundreds of billions in trade with China or EU
Excellent commentary 🤗 👍
thank you
I actually think Russia has the better desire/hope. It’s more fair and balanced to have every nation have a seat at the table rather than some banding together into an exclusive group which takes a position of authoritarian dominance by which they pit nations against each other and pressure other nations to bend to their global ideal (which is equally flawed but in different ways).
If Russia is after what they say they’re after, which I have no reason to believe they aren’t, then I more apt to stand with Russia. In the past couple months, I’ve taken time to learn about Russian history and, wow. Now I’m seeing how the USA can actually learn a lot from her and her people.
Negotiating in the dark as always. Usa drunk with power synndrome😂
not much power left, 36 trillion debt
Trump wants the Saudis to help him keep prices low. There's a good chance at least some of it will happen. It will hit global producers, including Saudis, but might put real pressure on Russia. Even one year of such price depression could be significant. This is just one possibility, and if Saudis go along, it is a matter of 3-4 months to make effective, not year or two.
No, the fact is that the US oil companies CANNOT produce fracking oil with profit if the price falls below 60$ a barrel. Russia can make profit if it is more than 20$ a barrel.
@@vladimirbrovkin4052 The figure of business profitability for US fracking that I have is roughly $40 to $50/barrel. Meaning: the US oil extracting businesses will be at least breaking even at this price. This is a figure lower than yours. On the other hand, your figure of $20/barrel of Russian oil is just a say-so, unless you can support it. Here I'm quoting BNE Intellinews:
"The Institute of International Finance (IIF) has forecast a decrease in Russia’s fiscal breakeven oil price (the amount to balance the external current account) to $77 per barrel by 2025, supported by a recovery in oil and gas revenues. At the same time, the external breakeven oil price (the amount to balance budget spending for extraction), currently at $41 per barrel, is the second lowest among major hydrocarbon exporters."
In other words, Russia needs oil to be above $75/barrel, in order to balance its fiscal budget. Furthermore, you and I know that inflation in Russia is quite bad right now and labor force shortages have begun to affect people living outside Moscow. This situation is not good for long term, albeit tolerable in the short-term.
Most importantly, you did not address my actual argument: Trump is trying to pressure Muhammad bin Salman to lower Saudi oil price. If the Saudis comply, neither American fracking nor opening up of Alaska is urgently needed for Trump to be able to effectively pressure Putin economically.
Europe needs to get the US out of NATO and any deal with Russia or China. Then they can shape a deal for themselves without someone who has no skin in the game telling them what to do.
The problem is that Europe is as divided as never before.
Natos never 'kept peace'
true
Uncle Vova , make a video on prosecution of Orthodox Christians in Ukraine , these days , if you have any information about thay . Spacibo, also video about Pradnostrovia
thanks for the idea
What do Russians expects from new elections in Ukraine? Zaluzny as new president? Or to extend Zelensky's term by another 4 years?
Putin says he does not care who it is as long as he is legitimate to sigh a treaty
@@vladimirbrovkin4052 Yes, this is what he says. Now
Mr. Aristovic has long been doing that. What about Medvichek.
him too
So much for "24 hours". More like exactly 4 years, ending 20th January 2029.
I still hope once they meet, they'll make a deal
Prof, there's no GDP ($hrinking anyway) for EU/Europe to fund Otan. So, crazy as it sounds, they are at the rich conferences and Hedge Funds, touting for WarBusiness. PLEASE, you see the signs. Better still, you must have some equivalence of how LARGE businesses across the West were involved in WW2?
Today, I saw report, of evidence, in how current ones are given "aid".
FINALLY, I meant to add, I heard Pres Trump, make a speech where he says he can start, stop or continue current conflicts. His haphazard way of expressing himself doesn't EXCLUDE peace BUT a PEACE Pres would want to STOP 🛑 ALL RAWS. Wouldn't he?
He's taking an INVENTORY IMHO to march on...but with a "preference".
I also, secretly believe, that the Billionaires are betting AMONGST themselves to reach the first $Trillionaire.
BIG, BIG, BIG, enormous opportunities are NEEDED for that and collateral is scarce.
Wrawww/war HAS that Power to condense TIME, REACH and TRANSFER.
Yes, they all have a stake in war
Ukraine must thank Russian especially Putin for the unmatched patience and restraint they have shown. If Putin had the attitude Zelensky has today, Ukraine would be history, once upon a time for sure.
could not agree more. Thank you
Never miss your podcast
glad to hear that
Zelenskiy, before being elected, positioned himself as an alternative to Poroshenko and alluded to peace with Russia. After election became even more radical than Poroshenko. Now Arestovich is positioning himself as an alternative to Zelenskiy, alludes to peace with Russia. Won't the story be repeated?
He cannot be trusted based on his past record
Trump Deal making is like a used car salesman, approach to diplomacy. Putin will bring Trump back to reality.
hope so
🤍💙❤✌
thank you
Why don't you do Russian language versions too? I want to relearn my birth language for the first time ....
There are many programs in Russian language.
Good analysis. Trump treats are empty and delusional
well said
V. Zelensky does not have democratic political legitimacy, how can he sign a peace agreement? Under, which law is that a valid deal?........
Exactly his signature is worth nothing but if Trump signs a treaty with Russia that NO expansion of NATO will take place. That is a binding document.
Germany, Holland, Flanders, Austria will cry crocodile tears when NATO is defeated in Ukraine.
I do not think they'll cry at all
Arestovich is a weathercock.
Yes he changed his position many times
I wonder what your thoughts are on Yevgheniy Murayev and his thoughts in his new interview. I don’t get the slimy vibe from him that I get from Arestovich. Maybe I am naive, but Arestovich doesn’t seem trustworthy. He acts like a know-it-all, but says stuff that was obvious 2.5 years ago.
When TIMES WERE GOOD these people enacted rules/laws to PREVENT PEACE!
Today, they've reached a point where old "democracy" no longer operates and shot themselves in the foot.
Therefore, only leaving "violent" means to turn back the situation.
Yes, but the data on corruption and sale of war material is amazing
@ absolutely! And I truly hope that the US and the UN would act constructively on concrete evidence in this matter. It would pleasantly shock me if something useful would come out of these revelations.
Hello Dr. Brovkin. I would like to purchase a whole set of your books. Please how do I do that??
All of my books are available on Amazon.com and on Barnes and Noble and the latest book from the publisher Routledge. Also each book publisher has a website and sometimes they have better prices than Amazon. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I AM TOUCHED
If the US was to consider others it would require humility. Not a good way to MAGA in their opinion.
humility is a word unknown in DC
Zelensky is very contradictory because he's a professional liar
Trump is at the negotiating level of a used car salesman!
good comparison
I think Arestovich seems a bit untrustworthy. He reminds me of Petyr Baelish from Game of Thrones.
I believe the exiled Yevgeniy Muraev would be a great leader for Ukraine. That’s if Ukraine ever has elections.
Arestovich gave interesting details on corruption and theft

Deal Or No Deal/Die....
Trump is a joke!
May be
I don't think that what zelinsky says is logic. It just shows his wishful thinking. He tells what he would like to have, but not whether this is realistic.
exactly
@vladimirbrovkin4052 an actor doesn't learn to analyse, but learned to depict a character. No actor is doing something real, but he has to act. In this way, the behaviour of zelinski is just logical.
Concerning the war, there are two important questions to me: can Russia really hold the whole Ukraine? And further: What consequences would a complete defeat of the Ukraine have for the rest of Europe?
Russia will take Harkiv and Odesa and after that there will be negotiations. Remember my words.
may well be so
we have a saying in Russia, "scare the hedgehog with your bare ass," similar to the Americans.
Did Trump have a brain?!!
who knows?
