The meeting of Putin and Trump: geopolitical significance

The outcome of the meeting between the leaders of Russia and the United States will in any case demonstrate the relevance of classical geopolitical schemes. The interests of Russia as a Telurococratic power and the US as a Thallasocratic state are fundamentally opposite. However, both leaders as adherents of the realistic approach in international relations are ready to combine compromises and pressure in achieving their goals. Both  are realists, for whom the war is a natural state of things, understand the reality of the escalation of tension between countries right up to the military conflict and try to avoid it. How much they will succeed - will depend on whether Trump will be able to overcome the resistance of the neocons and liberal interventionists in the American establishment. However, in modern conditions the range of possibilities is not great: from the analogue of the "détente" of the Cold War times (tactical cooperation on a number of issues and strategic confrontation), to freezing the status quo situation with sanctions and lack of cooperation and transferring conflict confrontation to peripheral zones with maximum use of the proxy -sill to avoid an open military clash.
