The Relations Between the Russia and US Are All-Time Low In the USA History.
Russia declared on Friday that ties with the US were at an all-time low and rejected the notion that things could improve between the two countries midway through US President Joe Biden’s term. Unfortunately, bilateral ties are arguably at their lowest point in human history, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
“There is no chance of things improving in the near future.”
The Relations Between the Two Countries Worsened Due to the Sanctions on the Russian Economy.
When Russia attacked Ukraine the year before, Washington and its partners responded by imposing a flurry of sanctions on Russia’s economy, further straining already strained US-Russian relations.
Additionally, the United States has given Kyiv significant economic and military backing, eliciting criticism from Russian authorities who have charged Washington with actively taking part in the conflict.
Despite a few sporadic diplomatic victories, such as the exchange of prisoners including the US Marine veteran Trevor Reed and the basketball player Brittney Griner, there haven’t been many high-level contacts.
In November, US-Russian negotiations to resume safety checks under the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty were abruptly canceled. Meanwhile, the Kremlin has downplayed the possibility of face-to-face meetings between Vice President Joe Biden and President Vladimir Putin, who last spoke in person in Geneva in June 2021.
According to Peskov, “the previous two years have indeed been particularly unpleasant for bilateral ties, despite early modest optimism relating to Geneva.”
Sergei Naryshkin, the head of Russia’s intelligence information, and William Burns, the head of the US Central Intelligence Agency, met in Ankara in November. The potential of further discussions has been left open by the Kremlin.
A CHANGING Global LANDSCAPE In 2030
American and Russian leaders will have to contend with a world that mostly consists of the following elements:
- A bipolar+ world: Despite significant reductions in their ability and willingness to act internationally over the coming years due to the coronavirus disease outbreak, competitive domestic resource demands, and internal concerns, the United States and China will still be the two major actors on the global stage.
- The development of new, deadly, and potentially unstable military technology will put more pressure on the world’s nonproliferation policies.
- A World More Prone to Conflict: The number and severity of conflicts inside and surrounding the Eurasian continent are expected to increase, and many of them could pose new threats to both Moscow and the United States.
- Russia and the United States are creating weapons that aren’t governed by any laws or restrictions and are not bound by the structures for arms control that now exist.
We hope that both Russia and United States make some agreements, and we do not have to watch the future that we foresee now.
