Trump will win if he is not killed – Rafael Ordukhanyan

Speaking with Alpha News, Russian political scientist Rafael Ordukhanyan commented on the upcoming presidential election in the United States.

“Trump will win if he is not killed. The second point is very important; I believe there will be unprecedented manipulation and fraud with ballots, as was the case in 2020. So there are two points here: the physical elimination of Trump and vote rigging. If at least one of these scenarios is successful, Trump will repeat the fate of 2020. It is worth recalling that the Americans do not allow a single foreign observer to their election. After the election, of course, there will be a surge in social violence because the results will be approximately half and half. When Trump wins, everyone will say that this is the hand of Moscow and that it is impossible for Trump to win without Russia’s help,” Ordukhanyan said.

Touching upon the changes in foreign policy, the expert noted that if Trump is elected, Russia will resolve many issues.

“Trump will shift the focus to China. And the most important thing is that Trump very clearly explained, translating into normal language, that he will sell Ukraine at the first opportunity. How? He will simply stop supplying weapons and give it over to Europe. With Trump, we, Russia, will solve many issues. If Russophobia goes away, then entry and exit will be easier, there will be financial relief, cultural ties will be restored, and air traffic will be restored to some extent,” Ordukhanyan noted.

According to the political scientist, the post-Soviet countries that are striving to join the European Union do not understand what price they must pay for this.

“I consider the Armenian foreign policy treacherous and harmful. This is a policy that will not lead to anything good. The factor of Turkey and Azerbaijan will dominate here, and I believe that Russia will soon withdraw its troops from there and remove the base, because in such an unfriendly environment, which Pashinyan’s leadership is demonstrating, there is no need for this, and no one in Moscow will put up with this anymore. How Armenia will then conduct its policy and how it will act is up to the Armenian authorities.

It seems to me that those post-Soviet countries, which are striving to join the European Union, do not quite understand where they are going. They do not understand at all what price they have to pay for this. Georgia realized this at the last moment. In Armenia, the situation will depend on how it will be able to defend its interests. There are the issues of the Syunik corridor and territorial issues that have not yet been resolved. We ourselves see that the demands of Azerbaijan and Turkey are only increasing. This comes from the fact that Armenia has decided to politically reorient itself to the other side,” Ordukhanyan concluded.
