American political scientist, Professor of the University of Chicago, Member of the Valdai Club John Mirushemer said that relations between Russia and the United States were terrible, and the USA is responsible for the deplorable state of bilateral relations. He spoke about it in an interview with Kommersant.
The political analyst also noted that the chances of improving the US-Russian relations in the foreseeable future are very small.
According to him, the United States decided that all countries of the world should behave as they want in Washington. “Such arrogance should have been inevitably wrapped with trouble. Putin and the Chinese for obvious reasons rebelled against this and gave the Americans to understand that they would not dance under their dull. And when Putin signalized the United States that Russia has its own national interests and that the US threatens these interests. , Americans just ignored this. This attitude could not help but conflict between the two countries, “said MirShimmer.
Political analyst added that after the elections of 2016 in the United States, relations between countries became terrible. “In my opinion, the main responsibility for the deplorable state of bilateral relations with Russia is the United States. I do not think that the Russians are the same wine,” the professor assured.
However, according to MirShamemer, in the interests of the United States – to have good relations with Russia. “I repeat again: the United States should be interested in the normalization of relations with Russia. Russia is not the Soviet Union, and we are not in 1947. We do not need to start a new cold war,” said political scientist.
Earlier, the political scientist Marat Bashirov said a conversation with “Tape.ru” that President Joe Biden became for Russia if not partner, then at least a good opponent who does not pass borders. According to Bashirov, no catastrophe at the board of Bayden in the States did not happen. It is in his opinion, it goes rather about the contestant rhetoric between conservatives and democrats on the eve of the election in Congress.
