“Expert Black: Russophobia in the U.S. Could Negatively Impact Trump’s Approach to Russia,” reads the headline of a {TASS interview](https://tass.ru/mezhdunarodnaya-panorama/22601497) with the Schiller Institute’s Richard A. Black. The kicker: “A representative of the international Schiller Institute at the UN noted that the consequences of a Republican victory in the presidential election are not yet clear.” The article quotes Black describing the neocon drive to thwart Trump’s stated policy and intention for peace in Europe.
The extensive article ends by quoting Black as saying: “We hope that two factors—first, Trump’s repeatedly voiced fear of a nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia in the near future, which would be a consequence of the current sharp escalation of the Ukrainian conflict, and second, his intention to help end the conflict—will determine Trump’s actions in relation to the clear statement of ... President Putin of Russia’s demands in the security sphere. We hope that Trump will choose peace,” the expert concluded.
