USA Today: "In recent years Russia has more allies than America"

Read on the website Vestnik Kavkaza

The US publication USA Today wrote that Washington has created a new working group, the aim of which would be a more aggressive policy toward Russia. In addition, the group will lobby for the interests of the USA in Ukraine, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Such a decision on the establishment of an ‘’aggressive bloc" is connected with the desire of the Obama administration to increase the US military presence in the Baltic countries.

The main task for the group will be to transfer the dynamics of US foreign policy in Asia, the Middle East, Central and Eastern Europe. This unit is necessary for America, first of all to justify their actions in the world through scientific articles and studies, and secondly, to prevent any demilitarization of the world's regions. Thus, the administration of the current president is trying to save the precarious position of the country in the world, but, according to many analysts, military escalation is not the best way out of the situation, especially in the case of the United States.

In trying to regain former glory through  militarization America may face another collapse, and more than that, Russia is not going to wait in silence for what will happen next, and intends to strengthen its borders with the help of the latest military equipment. In addition, the fact that in recent years Russia has more allies than America makes the balance of power quite obvious to the whole world, but not yet for the United States, which is still trying to regain the political ground it has lost.

The Voice of America writes today about new Russian allies. Russia and Pakistan are going to strengthen their relationship, despite the long period of controversy that preceded the rapprochement between the two states. According to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, there are ties in the new relationship between the two countries in the economic, energy, oil, finance and defense spheres. Islamabad and Moscow are ready to hold joint military exercises, and there is also an option of strategic equipment purchases from Russia.

This rapprochement between the two countries cannot but worry European and American analysts, who foresee a strengthening of the Russian position in the Middle East region, particularly in such countries as Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and finally Pakistan.

In turn, the US is trying to do everything to prevent the spread of Russian influence in the states in which America has its own interests. However, Washington's power does not currently allow the US government to put sufficient pressure on the governments of countries in the Middle East. In addition, many states in the region have realized that it is much more profitable to cooperate with Russia, which offers an equal partnership, than with the US, the plans of which are more of an imperialist than a democratic character.

The US publication The National Interest wrote today that the US is ready to make a deal with Iran, despite differences over its nuclear program. In his first public appearance since breaking his leg over the Iranian nuclear program, the US Secretary of State John Kerry said that the United States is aware of the real purpose of Iran's nuclear program, but it will most likely not prevent the States from lifting the sanctions against Iran. This statement, in turn, undermines the credibility of the IAEA inspectors, whose primary purpose is to monitor Iran's nuclear capabilities.

In any case, the US administration is ready to offer "absolution without confession", which is likely to undermine the credibility of the Obama administration even more. In other matters, the desire to obtain an ally in the Middle East region is so great for the United States that the government is ready to lose significant support within the country in order to strengthen its foreign policy. Whether this will lead to positive results for Iran is not known yet and most likely will be known only after the election of a new US president next year.
