The US parliament votes sanctions on Russia

With the approval of both branches of the US parliament of sanctions against Russia, it is evident that American political society, understood as constitutional constitution, is far from the president of the United States and his feelings toward Moscow. Even for Putin, it has now come to the fore, that pointing to Trump's election turned out to be a wrong calculation. The US House and Senate vote reveals a profound distance from the United States' most unified monastic office, which also adapts to the social base of the country, which has expressed the lowest rating in history for a president who has been elected for so little time. Moscow's calculation has been flawed by an in-depth analysis of American feelings towards Russia and latent reactions to the consequences of violations of international law; Russian officials have given too much importance to the role of the White House neapolitan, without taking into account all the powers that can balance the action. The great mistake in Moscow was to identify the support of Trump Americans, resulting from domestic dissatisfaction, which could not be of equal value to international politics and above all to the negative perception that American society continues to have for Russia even after the fall of communism. Putin's protagonist liked only a small part of the Americans, the rest identified the new role Moscow faces on the international scene such as the re-release of Soviet imperialism, especially the damage to American geostrategic interests. Also, it should not be forgotten, the case of Kremlin's interference in presidential elections and the repeated cyberattacks related to Moscow have raised the level of distrust of old enemies. This entails for Trump a further downsizing of its electoral program, which, in foreign policy, envisaged rapprochement with Russia on the basis of new diplomatic relations. Reasons for the approval of sanctions are inherent in Russia's interference in presidential elections and in its action against Ukraine, including the annexation of the Crimea. In particular, Putin's strategy was to avoid, with Clinton's election, a renewed media attention on the Ukrainian question, with the result of the cessation of sanctions by the US, which could have caused a similar choice also by Europe . For Moscow sanctions are a source of economic hardship and political isolation on the international scene, which has only partially mitigated with entry into the Syrian scenario. Certainly, the American parliamentary decision is not yet effective and Trump could put its presidential veto, but the wide adherence across the two parties, Democrat and Republican, exposes the veto of the US President to a loud parliamentary denial that would bring Trump in Clear political difficulties, especially after the failure to reach the goal of a new discipline on health. Putin's reactions to US parliamentary decisions have been strongly controversial: the president spoke of hysteria against Russia and the deterioration of relations with the US, which could lead to the expected possibility of normalizing the dialogue between The two countries. This is a reaction that is surprising for a measure that was probably not expected and that even if the US president could mitigate it, it reveals how the distance of the Kremlin's expectations is still far from goals, in relations with the US , That Russia had prevailed with Trump's election.
