Natallia Radzina About Donald Trump's Victory: Everything Can Change For The Better

Belarusians will have a chance.

Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election will certainly lead to big changes not only in this country, but also around the world, including in Europe. I would not make apocalyptic forecasts in this regard. Everything can change for the better, because the weakness and indecision of the Biden administration has already put the world on the brink of disaster. US foreign policy will definitely become more dynamic and will give impetus to the development of the European Union, strengthening its defense capability, economic efficiency and strengthening European geopolitical influence.

As for Trump's promises to stop Russia's war against Ukraine, I don't think this means recognizing Putin's territorial encroachments. The policy of the new US president can be tough and effective. Lowering the oil price to $40 per barrel, which Trump promised, could deal a crushing blow to Russia, which the empire can no longer withstand and will be forced to stop the war.

As for Belarus, I do not think that dictator Lukashenka should be happy with Trump's victory. Yes, the development of the situation in our country will largely depend on the situation in Ukraine and Trump's attitude towards imperial Russia. But, I think, there will be no real truce between the warring parties in the near future. Putin does not intend to stop, he is not fighting for territories today. This is a war against the global West. And therefore, Trump will eventually be forced to give a tough rebuff to the claims of the Kremlin dwarf.

I do like also to recall that during his last term in office, Trump did not lift sanctions against the Belarusian dictatorship, despite the presence of diplomatic contacts and visits to Minsk by high-ranking American officials. In recent years, Lukashenka has committed so many crimes against humanity, including participation in the aggression against Ukraine, that he can hardly count on the favor of the United States. Lukashenka, like Putin, may not survive Trump's new four-year office, which means that Belarusians will have a chance to achieve change in their country.
