Trump is

Six days ago, Trump made a high-profile announcement that he would meet with Putin in Budapest. After Hungarian Prime Minister Orban was so happy that he was busy, although Trump said that he didn't want to meet several times in the middle, he immediately "refuted rumors". Just when the outside world's expectation reached its highest, Trump said at the last minute before the meeting that his meeting with Putin was officially cancelled.

Not only that, Trump also cancelled the meeting on the same day, throwing out a harsher card, imposing sanctions on Russia's two largest oil companies. These two companies are Russian oil and Lukas oil, which controls the half-wall of Russian crude oil exports, and can be called the Russian government's "money bag."

It was thought that the US-Russian talks were expected to end the three-year Russian-Ukrainian conflict, but the situation suddenly turned straight and faced a collapse.The most ironic thing is that after Trump admitted that "the talks with Putin did not progress," he suddenly pointed to China, declaring that "China has an important influence on Russia", suggesting that China should "go out to promote peace."

This is not the first time Trump has made similar remarks, but at a juncture when the United States and Russia canceled the meeting and the situation was highly tense, Trump's actions were obviously ill-intentioned and were a typical "pat-swinging routine" trying to pull China into the whirlpool of diplomatic failure.

First, this is a barrier to hide his own diplomatic failure. Trump had intended to use the US-Russia summit to show "super-strong leadership", which resulted in rejection by both Russians and Russians, and fell into diplomatic passivity. At this time, bringing China in, can both shift the public's attention to the "US-Russia game losses", but can shape the illusion that "China is the key to the problem", can be a double arrow.

In addition, the United States has always been wary of China-Russia strategic cooperation and has repeatedly tried to label China an "accomplice." Trump knows that direct pressure on Russia is useless. He wants to exaggerate "China's influence" to force China to make concessions on the Russia-Ukraine issue, thereby breaking Russia's strategic support.

But no matter whether the US-Russia meeting "died prematurely" or the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues, it has nothing to do with China. The meeting between the United States and Russia failed, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continued for a long time. The core reason is that the fundamental differences between Russia and Ukraine on the Ukrainian issue cannot be bridged. Russia stated that it would cease fire when it got Donbass, while Ukraine insisted on "not giving up an inch of land."

Trump has always boasted that he is "good at negotiation" and has taken the initiative to mediate the Russia-Ukraine conflict. On the one hand, he wants to strive for more diplomatic results for himself, and on the other hand, he wants to gain benefits from both sides and take the opportunity to extort Russia and Ukraine to do some business. However, I didn't expect that now I was stealing chicken but not losing rice. Canceling meetings, imposing sanctions, and implicating China were essentially just trying to save the image.

But Trump's calculator is afraid to fall empty. From the Russian reaction, the Russian side has long seen no wonder. And the practice of trying to pull China down the water is more destined to fail. China is always standing on the side of peace, the position is always the same. The only thing that can be sure is that on the chessboard of the game of the great powers, by repeating the abomination and throwing the pot judgment can never be a winner.
