The results of the contacts with China were disappointing and were reminiscent of a Cold War climate with the USSR (1947-1991).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">by<strong> Thanos S.

These circles will seek and press at every opportunity the search for military involvement with the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3.<\/strong> If the U.S. continually demonstrates conditions of world domination to create economic and financial destabilization of both Russia, China, Iran, then Russia and China will enter the temptation, and given their common co-operation, in a state of military deterrence. Depending on the magnitude of the crisis, it will also be the magnitude of the response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-24.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4362\"\/><figcaption><strong>The President of Russia Vladimir Putin <\/strong><br>Photo by the website www.dw.com <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4.<\/strong> High emphasis, through the increasing spending rates of state-owned enterprises, Russia, and China&#8217;s budgets are directed towards the development of weapons systems (please read the analysis titled \u00abUS Carrier Strike Group and How Russia hopes to cope with its Power\u00bb) that can create conditions for deterrence and denial of territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The objectives of these weapons systems are to cancel American power and to balance the capabilities held by the US in terms of its technological lead, each time seeking a war showdown with the US. In such a case, global security is at high risk due to the destructiveness of these weapons systems on both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5.<\/strong> President Joe Biden&#8217;s new strategy despite US being able to a superlative degree the differences on many issues that divide China and Russia. For example, China is challenging Russia&#8217;s Vladivostok using propaganda on social media. An additional example is competition between Russia and China for their influence in Central Asia because of the need to rally to deal with the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6.<\/strong> The US is opening two fronts with both Russia and China at the same time, while proceeds to the creation of a third front with the EU (Germany) where there is division over the construction of Nord Stream 2. The US seems determined to block the pipeline, which Germany wants in every way, by imposing tough sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, they let Turkey, which has approached Russia, short-circuit the investigations in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea by allowing Turkey to hold Europe hostage by leaving No room for Germany to cooperate energetically with Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7.<\/strong> Joe Biden&#8217;s recent verbal attack on Vladimir Putin transforms American attack on person-centric focusing on authoritarian leaders like Putin (Russia), Xi Jinping (China), Erdogan (Turkey), Prince Mohamed bin Salman (Saudi Arabia), leaving out their peoples wanting to show that their peoples are also their victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this American strategy leaves out any American aspirations and their corresponding logic, leading sooner or later to deadlocks. The leadership of each of these countries has set the framework for many years to ensure the logic of their leaders regardless of who comes to power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-26.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4363\"\/><figcaption><strong>Nord Stream 2-Another front of US <\/strong><br>Photo by the website gr.euronews.com <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The types of questions to be asked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.<\/strong> Has the necessary analysis been done as to Russia&#8217;s governance model?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.<\/strong> Can the vast territorial and weak demographics at the same time Russia function together with Western-style Constitutional governance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3.<\/strong> The Russian President&#8217;s leadership should be analyzed at multi-level level. If not, then it is shown that antipathy to Putin\u2019s face that is unacceptable in matters of diplomacy and foreign policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4.<\/strong> What is the strategic objective? Is Russia to acquire Western-style Constitutional governance or to be territorially mutilated?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5.<\/strong> Does the American leadership know and always according to the polls that take place from time to time that more than 50% of Turkish citizens do not care about democracy and human rights in Turkey?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6.<\/strong> Does the American leadership know that most Turkish citizens want Islam to rule Turkish political life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7.<\/strong> Publicly attacking Prince Mohamed Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia may be pleasing Iran for coming back first to the Iran denuclearization Agreement, but at the same time delaying Saudi Arabia&#8217;s political and social modernization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US certainly wants a dynamic comeback in the field of foreign policy so that its global hegemony is not called into question so that other countries follow their wishes so that the US can adapt its tactics and strategy every time. But their strategy is not yet clear and creates ambiguities mainly among their allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Joe Biden&#8217;s fierce attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin as a &#8220;Killer&#8221; in his last week interview at ABC created a sensation,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,826],"tags":[2404,1290,58,2511,215,1166],"class_list":["post-4358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-geopolitical","category-usa-geopolitical","tag-foreign-policy","tag-joe-biden","tag-russia","tag-strategy","tag-us","tag-vladimir-putin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4358"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4358\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4395,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4358\/revisions\/4395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
