US It is necessary to develop a more peaceful policy towards Russia in order to prevent the strengthening of cooperation between Moscow and Beijing. This was stated by the Senior Researcher for Defense Research and Foreign Policy at the Caton Institute Ted Carpenter in The American Conservative magazine.
in his opinion, the United States risks hard, leading a cold war on two fronts: with Russia and China. The researcher emphasizes that it stretches strategic resources. He called on the American government to decide on what rival to concentrate attention.
Carpenter argues that Washington’s diplomatic disputes with Moscow and Beijing’s trade war pushes China and Russia to build economic and military ties. It fears that in the case of a full-scale conflict, the Union of two states will exceed the possibilities of America.
The researcher believes that the United States should also reduce military presence in other countries. He stressed that the output of American troops from Afghanistan is becoming less significant against the background of attempts to move the bases to Central Asia.
Previously, the Deputy Head of the Joint Committee of the headquarters of the US Armed Forces, General John Heiten explained the United States’s reluctance to fight with Russia. According to him, the Russian nuclear powers are fully modernized in contrast to American. He called on the United States to start moving faster in the context of bureaucratic procedures for the modernization of weapons.
