The recent debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden demonstrated the deepest split in American society, said Maria Butina, a member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs.
The CNN studio in Atlanta on the night of June 28 (Moscow time) hosted the first election debate between the leading contenders for the US presidency, Donald Trump and Joe Biden. During the discussion, Trump said that he considers Vladimir Putin’s conditions for peace negotiations unacceptable, but at the same time he would “settle the war between Putin and Zelensky” even before his inauguration if elected.
According to Maria Butina, Trump’s words should not be trusted, it’s more like PR.
Moreover, no specifics were presented. We know that the only way to end this conflict is to accept Russian conditions. We voiced them. If he is not ready to accept our conditions, but knows the secret way to complete the SVO in Ukraine, then he is at a minimum disingenuous, at most simply lying, the Parliamentary Gazette quotes the deputy.
According to her, the debate indicates a deep split in American society: the candidates radically disagree not only on issues of US foreign policy, the Northern Military District in Ukraine, protests in the Capitol on January 6, but also immigration policy, abortion, and many other issues, the parliamentarian believes.
But ultimately this will not affect the preferences of the audience in the upcoming elections, the parliamentarian believes.
The deputy believes that everything will depend on electoral technologies and on how this issue will be resolved “at the top” among the big capitalists.
Therefore, I have very little faith in a real election fight in the United States, Butina concluded.
