La seconde est la place particuli\u00e8rement importante faite aux r\u00e9actions de la porte-parole du minist\u00e8re des affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res russe, Maria Zakharova. Ses d\u00e9clarations sont nombreuses et longues, marquant le statut important que Zakharova occupe dans la hi\u00e9rarchie de communication de la direction russe ; elles sont particuli\u00e8rement furieuses et <strong>constituent une attaque sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent contre la direction US actuelle, et le courant politique dominant \u00e0 Washington qui le soutient<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><p> Ces deux remarques sont essentielles pour Trump et sa politique \u00e0 partir du 20 janvier. Elles indiquent d&rsquo;une part que Trump se trouvera \u00e0 Washington devant une opposition d\u00e9cid\u00e9e et furieuse, parce qu&rsquo;inspir\u00e9e par le Syst\u00e8me, pour sa politique suppos\u00e9e de rapprochement avec la Russie ; et, dans cette opposition, la direction de l&rsquo;<em>establishment<\/em> r\u00e9publicain, qui a de fort moyens de contr\u00f4le de la majorit\u00e9 du Congr\u00e8s, ne sera pas la moins z\u00e9l\u00e9e, tant s&rsquo;en faut. <strong>La solitude politique de Trump \u00e0 Washington sera tr\u00e8s grande<\/strong>, et il devra exiger une solidarit\u00e9 et une unit\u00e9 sans faille de son administration, &ndash; ce qui est loin d&rsquo;\u00eatre acquis, &ndash; ou bien proc\u00e9der d&rsquo;une fa\u00e7on peu orthodoxe, en pratiquant une politique personnelle qui serait aussi bien celle du fait accompli que des \u00ab\u00a0coups d&rsquo;&Eacute;tat\u00a0\u00bb internes et impr\u00e9vus (en pratique, l&rsquo;hypoth\u00e8se \u00ab\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dedefensa.org\/article\/the-donald-en-american-gorbatchev\">American Gorbatchev<\/a><\/em>\u00ab\u00a0).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>D&rsquo;autre part, la r\u00e9action de Zakharova, contrastant compl\u00e8tement avec celle de Poutine et certainement autoris\u00e9e sinon suscit\u00e9e par la direction russe, constitue un puissant message adress\u00e9 \u00e0 Trump lui-m\u00eame. Poutine <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dedefensa.org\/article\/trump-tweet-et-poutine-delegitime-bho\">a jou\u00e9 le coup<\/a> avec une habilet\u00e9 admirable et tout en douceur ironique, dans le r\u00f4le logique de celui qui tend la main \u00e0 Trump. Zakharova annonce indirectement, en \u00e9vitant les noms et les perspectives trop marqu\u00e9es, l&rsquo;autre face de la r\u00e9action russe : Trump devra tenir ses engagements implicites d&rsquo;un rapprochement avec la Russie, c&rsquo;est-\u00e0-dire dompter ou d\u00e9truire la fureur antirussiste de l&rsquo;<em>establishment<\/em>, sans quoi il trouvera sur sa route une Russie bien plus ferme et bien plus inclin\u00e9e aux actions d\u00e9cisives, et bien plus renforc\u00e9e politiquement et militairement, que celle qui a d\u00e9j\u00e0 balay\u00e9 Obama. <strong>Ce deuxi\u00e8me point compl\u00e8te l&rsquo;hypoth\u00e8se de la solitude de Trump, effectivement pris entre la fureur antirussiste de Washington et les exigences russes&#8230; D\u00e9cid\u00e9ment, \u00ab\u00a0<em>American<\/em> Gorbatchev\u00a0\u00bb a du pain sur la planche<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><p>&#8230; Et cette solitude est bien celle du n\u00e9ant. On s&rsquo;accorde pour estimer qu&rsquo;Obama \u00ab\u00a0veut enfermer Trump dans sa propre politique\u00a0\u00bb en posant les pi\u00e8ges qui l&#8217;emp\u00eacheraient de s&rsquo;en d\u00e9tacher. C&rsquo;est vrai sauf qu&rsquo;il (Obama) n&rsquo;a pas (pas eu) de politique, sinon celle de la n\u00e9antisation voulue par le Syst\u00e8me et engendrant le d\u00e9sordre ; alors, l&rsquo;action pratiqu\u00e9e par lui de gu\u00e9rilla ill\u00e9gale (selon l&rsquo;esprit de la loi constitutionnelle) implique qu&rsquo;il veut enfermer Trump dans son propre n\u00e9ant \u00e0 lui, Obama, dans l&rsquo;absence d&rsquo;\u00eatre de sa politique, puisque sa politique fut exactement cela. De ce point de vue, Trump ne peut pas se soumettre (m\u00eame s&rsquo;il le voulait) parce que la pression psychologique contre lui est trop forte et en conformit\u00e9 pavlovis\u00e9e \u00e0 l&rsquo;image que le d\u00e9terminisme-narrativiste a fait de lui (\u00ab\u00a0pion de Poutine\u00a0\u00bb et \u00ab\u00a0Hitler postmoderne\u00a0\u00bb) ; <strong>il devra donc se r\u00e9volter et rompre politiquement, au sens fort du terme, ou dispara&icirc;tre, politiquement (destitution ou d\u00e9mission) sinon physiquement<\/strong>.

We can&rsquo;t help but think that&rsquo;s often true.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Key Russians were <a href=\"http:\/\/observer.com\/2016\/12\/russian-media-responds-to-obama-anti-russia-sanctions\/\">less diplomatic<\/a>. Konstantin Kosachev, head of the International Committee of the Russian Upper House of Parliament, said, \u00ab\u00a0Forgive me for being harsh, but I just cannot find other words: This is the agony of not the lame ducks, but of political corpses.\u00a0\u00bb Kosachev&rsquo;s deputy, Alexei Chepa, called it \u00ab\u00a0really a disturbing news\u00a0\u00bb designed to create \u00ab\u00a0difficulties for the [Trump] administration to overcome later.\u00a0\u00bb Chepa&rsquo;s colleague, Vladimir Dzhabarov, accused Obama of annoying Russia \u00ab\u00a0out of impotence.\u00a0\u00bb He said Obama \u00ab\u00a0proved himself to be an arbitrary person who happened to lead the United States.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\u00ab\u00a0This is very unusual,\u00a0\u00bb said Gevorg Mirzayan, a professor at Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, \u00ab\u00a0because usually when one&rsquo;s political opponents from another party arrive into the White House, the power is transferred with dignity. \u00ab\u00a0But instead of this, the current most important person, like a &lsquo;mad printer,&rsquo; is creating laws and decrees with the goal to freeze the &lsquo;foreign affairs revolution&rsquo; of the new administration. I believe that the personal antipathies of Obama, who believes &lsquo;Putin beat him on all fronts&mdash;including the elections&rsquo; play a role here.\u00a0\u00bb Professor Alexander Domrin of the Russian High School of Economics said Obama is \u00ab\u00a0setting as many traps as possible for Mr. Trump on [the] international field.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>That assertion was echoed by foreign ministry spokeswoman Zakharova, who charged, \u00ab\u00a0The outgoing U.S. administration, in her last days, still hopes to ruin even more the relations with Russia, forgetting, probably, that these relations had already been brought down to the ground.\u00a0\u00bb The spokeswoman didn&rsquo;t hold back, and, indicating the Russian government was fed up, stated: \u00ab\u00a0They are once again trying to frighten us with the widening of anti-Russian sanctions, with measures of &lsquo;diplomatic nature,&rsquo; and even with the sabotage of our computer systems. &hellip; Frankly, we are sick and tired of the outright lies about &lsquo;Russian hackers&rsquo; that continue to pour down in the United States from the very top.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Blaming politics, she continued: \u00ab\u00a0The Obama administration launched this disinformation half a year ago in an attempt to support the position of their desired candidate for the November presidential elections. Having not achieved their desired outcome, now they are looking for the justification of their failure and, doubling their efforts, they are taking revenge on the Russian-American relations.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Zakharova noted how American officials \u00ab\u00a0tracked the hack that attacked his electronic vote-counting system soon after the elections.\u00a0\u00bb \u00ab\u00a0The traces led to a computer address within the Department of Homeland Security of the United States. What else we can talk about here? About the fact that this [revelation] was covered with the flood of the new accusations that had not a single evidence?\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>She concluded, \u00ab\u00a0[The] Obama administration, probably, does not care what will happen with bilateral relations with Russia, but it is unlikely that history will forgive the attitude based on the principle &lsquo;let there be even flood after we are gone.'\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><h4>Garth Kant (<em>WorldNetDaily<\/em>)<\/h4><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le pyromane de la Maison-Blanche S&rsquo;il y a une fa\u00e7on finalement assez r\u00e9aliste et ironique de prendre l&rsquo;affaire des derni\u00e8res sanctions antirusses en date, celle du pr\u00e9sident-sortant Obama bien entendu, il y a aussi une fa\u00e7on plus grave qui nous ram\u00e8ne au personnage dont on pourrait n&rsquo;\u00eatre pas \u00e9loign\u00e9 de penser, &ndash; comme le sugg\u00e8re&hellip;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[12611,3009,9465,4063,11994,6208,7871,2639,12642,12643],"class_list":["post-77007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ouverture-libre","tag-antirussisme","tag-democrates","tag-eric","tag-mccain","tag-neantisation","tag-obama","tag-transition","tag-trump","tag-zakharova","tag-zuesse"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77007","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77007"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77007\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77007"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77007"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77007"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
