Kortunov from Russia[1] and Alastair Cooke from England[2] – have expressed deep concerns over the apparent trends emanating from a mix of the US Establishment (very anti-Russian) and Trump himself (appearing to be playing Russian roulette in the Middle East).

For brevity’s sake, the honorific titles of the three great men – General Secretary Xi Jinping, President ...
