The statement by US President Donald Trump about the transfer of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Kiev is a poker game. This was stated on the air of Sputnik radio by philosopher Alexander Dugin.

So he commented on Trump's post that he had already decided on missiles, but would like to understand how Kiev is going to use them.

Trump is a "man of short cycles", he solves problems as they arise, unlike Russian President Vladimir Putin, the philosopher noted.

"Putin is playing some complicated strategies, and this (statement. — EADaily) — literally poker. Facial expressions and instant actions are very important here," Dugin said.

However, according to him, if at some point Tomahawk is still delivered, "even the visibility of the game from our side will stop," he stressed.

As EADaily reported, the transfer of long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine means the automatic transfer of the Hazel complex to Venezuela. This was stated in his telegram channel by writer Zakhar Prilepin.

So he commented on the message of US President Donald Trump that he would discuss with Russian leader Vladimir Putin the possible transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Kiev.
