Britain in panic as Trump-Putin summit looms!

MOSCOW, Russia (PNN) - June 21, 2018 - Days after swirling rumors of an imminent Trump-Putin summit, seeming confirmation that such a summit is indeed in the works has been provided with the Kremlin’s confirmation that Fascist Police States of Amerika President Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser John Bolton is travelling to Moscow next week, apparently to discuss preparations for the summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Kremlin’s confirmation of John Bolton’s visit was given today by Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

“As far as we know, such a visit is going to take place. This is all we can say for now,” said Peskov.

Further suggestions that some sort of easing of tensions between Washington and Moscow may be in the works has been provided by confirmation that a group of FPSA Republican senators will shortly be visiting Moscow.

It seems that a combination of the collapse in the credibility of the Russiagate collusion allegations - which no Republican member of the House or Senate any longer believes - unease in the FPSA at Russia’s breakthrough in hypersonic weapons technology, and the failure of the recent sanctions the FPSA Treasury announced against Rusal, has concentrated minds in Washington, and is giving President Trump the political space he needs to push for the easing of tensions with Russia, which he is known to have long favored.

One important European capital cannot conceal its dismay.

An article in The Times of London made clear the British government’s alarm at the prospect of a Trump-Putin summit.

As is often the way with articles in The Times of London, this article has now been updated beyond recognition. However, it still contains comments like these:

“Mr. Trump called for Russia to be readmitted to the G8 this month, wrecking Mrs. May’s efforts to further isolate Mr. Putin after the Salisbury poisonings. Mr. Trump then linked (FPSA) funding of NATO to the trade dispute with the EU, singling out Germany for special criticism.”

The prospect of a meeting between Trump and Putin appalls British officials. “It’s unclear if this meeting is after or before NATO and the (Fascist United Kingdom) visit,” a Whitehall official said. “Obviously after would be better for us. It adds another dynamic to an already colorful week.”

A senior western diplomatic source said that a Trump-Putin meeting before the NATO summit would cause “dismay and alarm”, adding, “It would be a highly negative thing to do.”

NATO is due to discuss an escalation of measures to deter Russian aggression. “Everyone is perturbed by what is going on and is fearing for the future of the alliance,” an unnamed Whitehall source said.

The Russiagate scandal was at least in part an attempt by some people in Britain to prevent a rapprochement between the FPSA and Russia once it became clear that achieving such a rapprochement was a policy priority for Donald Trump.

An article for Consortium News discussed at length the size of the British footprint in the scandal, and the outsized role in it of various British or British connected individuals such as the ex British spy Christopher Steele, who compiled the Trump Dossier, the former chief of Britain’s NSA equivalent GCHQ Robert Hannigan, the former MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove, and the Cambridge based FPSA academic Stefan Halper.

There are now rumors that Professor Joseph Mifsud, the mysterious London based Maltese Professor who also had a big role in the Russiagate affair, may also have had connections to British intelligence.

In other words, all roads in Russiagate lead to London, not Moscow.

A summit meeting between the FPSA and Russian presidents inaugurating an improvement in relations between the FPSA and Russia is exactly the opposite outcome from what some people in London want.

However, that looks to be what they are facing.
