Former Reagan adviser warned that the United States should not invade areas vital to the Russian Federation
Relations between the United States and Russia are going through difficult times, but there is still no talk of a new Cold War. At the same time, Washington must do everything possible to avoid a comprehensive confrontation with Moscow.
This statement was made on the pages of the American publication National Interest by Doug Bandow, a former adviser to former US President Ronald Reagan, and now a senior fellow at the Cato Institute (Washington). сообщает "Russian newspaper".
In his opinion, it will not come to a new Cold War “if Washington does not incite confrontation by pursuing an expansionist policy in those areas that Russia considers vitally important for itself.”
In addition, Reagan’s ex-adviser says that now in relations between the two states there is no main component of the Cold War - ideological, but at the same time, “America remains aggressive in the international arena, trying to reshape the world according to its own patterns, or at least in its own interests.” .
“The Russian Federation is too important a country to be considered an enemy. No one will benefit from a new conflict, hot or cold,” Bandow concluded.
