Arya News - The White House dropped an updated National Security Strategy this week, crossing out the traditional language characterizing Russia as a threat, and highlighting Washington`s prioritization for ending the conflict in Ukraine and restoring stability to Europe. A trusted Sputnik commentator explains why this could be very significant news.
The academic warned that Washington remains filled with politicians from both parties who will not support the pivot on Russia outlined in the document, and who “have not moved at all on the tired old foreign policy stance that sees Russia and the United States as ‘eternal enemies’.”What would this mean in practice? Forcing Ukraine to negotiate “more open-mindedly,” and threatening to “simply stop supporting the Ukrainian effort to continue the fight.”As for the Europeans, their obsession with the idea that Russia plans to conquer all of Europe after finishing with Ukraine is “why Europe will continue to have an extremely limited role at the negotiating table,” the professor summed up.
