The NI: Biden must withdraw troops from Syria to minimize the likelihood of a clash with Russia
American political elites have proposed four steps for President Joe Biden in relations with Russia.
The authors of The National Interest (NI) are confident that a few weeks before the meeting of the presidents of Russia and the United States, which is scheduled for June, Biden can begin to reorient Russian-American relations, according to an exclusive translation of the NI article on the website “PolitRussia».
It is almost impossible to predict the outcome of the event, the authors of the article are sure. Therefore, they assume that the US President is ready for four strategic directions in relation to Russia.
First, Washington should focus on communication between the governments of the two countries and prompt resolution of all controversial issues. One of the steps should be the return of the American ambassador to Russia.
The second step should be to reduce the risk of a military clash with Russia, writes NI. Washington must stop its intervention in Syria, where the possibility of overlapping interests with Moscow is very high. It is known that American troops in the Middle Eastern state control oil fields under the guise of fighting terrorists.
Militants in Syria were defeated by Russian forces, including the Wagner PMC, back in 2017. However, the Americans are still on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic, which causes criticism not only from the international community, but also from within the American political elites.
The third step should be a renunciation of excessive pressure on other states through sanctions policy. It is known that economic restrictions are a favorite method of projecting US interests onto competitors.
The fourth step should be Washington's desire for peace with Russia. Since both countries have nuclear potential, any tension between the countries threatens with dire consequences for the whole world, the authors of the article concluded.
