American press talks about containing "Putin's Russia"

After the inauguration of the new American president, the US policy towards Russia may change in some aspects. Washington needs to consider new steps to contain "Putin's Russia." Michael McFaul writes about this in an article for the American edition of Foreign Affairs.

New American President Joe Biden, unlike Donald Trump, does not intend to be friends with Vladimir Putin. He intends to criticize Putin's aggressive actions, to return liberal norms and democratic values ​​to US policy towards Russia, which will lead to support for human rights in this country.

However, for the complete containment of Russia, the United States needs to develop a new overarching strategy in which to determine the "right" balance between containing Moscow and interacting with it. This requires an analysis of Russia's actions and an assessment of what Putin's Russia actually represents and how the United States can effectively counter it.

First, the US needs to get rid of the stereotype that Russia is a gas station country with a weak economy and a declining military. This is fundamentally wrong, Russia is one of the most powerful countries in the world with armed forces that have gone through modernization, nuclear weapons, a robust economy and ideological power based on Putin's rule.

Containment of Russia must begin with the United States itself, introducing protection from Moscow's hacker attacks on American territory. The United States needs to allocate additional funds to level the Russian cyber threat against American critical infrastructure.

Another important component of restraining Russia is economic. Washington and its allies need to develop a strategy to limit Russia's economic power, especially in the United States, Europe and Asian countries. All Russian geopolitical projects, such as Nord Stream 2, must be stopped completely.

The US government should limit Russia's ideological influence on the Western world through social media, NGOs, foundations, and charities. More concrete measures must also be taken to prevent Russian interference in the American elections.

Containing Russia abroad must begin with a policy of intimidation. As part of this strategy, the United States needs to significantly increase its military presence near Russian borders, especially in the southern direction, and be ready to repel "Russian aggression." NATO must reaffirm its commitment to "democratic values".

In addition, the United States must counter the "Russian aggression" against the "prosperous and democratic" Ukraine through its all-round support, including military support, and also strengthen the anti-Russian sanctions regime.

In addition, it is proposed to bring "freedom and democracy" to Russian territory through NGOs, the media and social networks. For this, it is necessary to increase their funding, etc.

In conclusion, the author writes that Putin is not eternal, so the United States needs to "befriend" Russia with an eye to the future, waiting for that day to come and Russia will return to the path of democracy.

American press talks about containing "Putin's Russia"

And we need to consider how to contain "Biden America"

Quote: Cron

And we need to consider how to contain "Biden America"

It is not necessary to restrain them. Let them not limit themselves in anything. Just watch them from the sidelines. All the most interesting is happening now inside America itself.

[Nasrat]

The second economy in the world, the first economy in the world ... And enemy number 1 is Russia ... Huawei will not let you lie ...

[Tatyana]

The American press expresses everything within the framework of its ideological COLONIAL-PARASITARY paradigm of the American economist Milton Friedman, which dominates in the United States and the world.
To put it mildly, American democrats, awaiting the end of Putin's rule in the Russian Federation, count on the continuation of the economic and political illiteracy of Russian liberals in the Russian government. Which either people have no idea, or deliberately only pretend that they do not understand what a monetarist "market" economy, as such, is in the West. Namely.

Unfortunately, on this issue, Russian education in the country has long been "sour". Bourgeois ideology American economist M. Friedman is now is no longer called "bourgeois", but is called abstractly class "market" with elements of the so-called. "Monetarism" (i.e. bourgeois pursuit of financial profits).
But you can not equalize the concept of real capitalism with all its flaws with the doctrinaire idea of ​​the American Milton Friedman in the form of a kind of speculative social project that is being implemented, to build a supposedly ideally fair capitalism on Earth around the world. By what means?
At the expense supposedly the existence in the world of some anarchist absolutely "free" from everyone and every world market, which is supposedly absolutely "clean" from profanities and dishonesty both on the part of the participants in the capital market, goods (services) and labor, and from the pressure on them by the national the state. And at the same time, the author assumes that all market participants free from the state are initially at all times equal in their life start to each other and can always become rich if they just want it. This is pure utopia and bluff!
Behind this attempt by Milton Friedman to whitewash capitalism lies a very definite goal taken by Washington's apologists. Namely.
The purpose of this American bluff is to make the sovereign countries "indigenous" for the United States, uncontrollably and duty-free by their governments, mistakenly, free and defenseless from competition, open access for US multinational companies to their domestic markets for the sale of foreign goods and the purchase of "indigenous" wealth by foreigners , enterprises and natural resources.
In this case, reduction of native state property in the maximum - to "0" - is promoted by the "market people" exclusively as a public good. For the state supposedly does not need to control anything, there is no need to punish anyone, and there is no need to regulate trade and production either. That at the same time all members of society will become such honest and law-abiding entrepreneurs that therefore it will no longer be necessary to protect the population from swindlers, thieves, robbers and murderers. And therefore, the alleged national state, as an anachronism, will disappear by itself as unnecessary, and there is no need to defend it at all. For the distribution of material goods "from above" at the state level is not required, because everything will be regulated by this "ideal" capitalist market. But those who did not fit into the market are already their problems. Let, they say, they survive on their own, as they can. These include in particular all the so-called. "superfluous" people: pensioners, disabled people, children, etc. - all those who "did not fit into the market." But they should be "happy" with their freedom from the centuries-old, fattening abstract-bureaucratic state, which has always been dreamed of by the anarchists for centuries.

TOTAL All this Milton Friedman ideology about the alleged existence of the so-called. "free" and "clean" market is the anarchist propaganda of the American establishment to disintegrate the national security of sovereign states to their complete elimination and subjugation of their resources in favor of US multinational companies.
Unfortunately, this ideology is UNOFICIALLY adopted by the Russian ruling elite, as a state ideology. It is implemented in practice by the government of the Russian Federation, the guarantor of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, in the State Duma and the Federation Council. And the HSE is the forge of bourgeois young cadres in this comprador economy and its apologists.

We need to support the Trump US to bring it closer to the Civil War. In the last pseudo-democratic presidential election, the last democratic rags flew off the United States, revealing the dictatorial grin of the statue of Liberty. It is necessary to openly call Biden a dictator and a tyrant who came to power as a result of a coup. It is necessary to openly declare everywhere about the lack of freedom of speech, opinion, assembly and censorship in the United States. You have to constantly poke the US into their guano. We need to talk about mass repressions and political prisoners in the United States.

[faiver]

but at least consider it, given the dependence of the Russian economy on the dollar, it's useless ...

[VORON538]

Are there states in the world that DO NOT DEPEND on the dollar? As regrettable as this fact sounds, but all the DEVELOPED, and the overwhelming majority of developing countries DEPEND on the dollar. But if anyone wants to give up this very paper with the dead presidents of the United States, the United States is immediately put outside the law. In fact, after the collapse.

It is not the economy of Russia that depends on the dollar, but its ruling and ruling class.
And without this class, the addiction is not so great.
You can trade with Europe (and trade) for the euro.
With China - for yuan and rubles.
With India - for rubles and rupees.
But they are withdrawn to offshores and stored there in accounts, mainly in dollars ...
Russia had an excellent experience of Autarky and building OWN financial and accounting system.
It is not required to reinvent the wheel - everything has been invented and tested long ago.

[faiver]

And without this class, the addiction is not so great

- only the economy is in the hands of just this class ...

[bayard]

The experience of three / four / five revolutions says that such a situation is rarely eternal.
I would really not like the sixth revolution, the optimal one would be the "revolution from the top", which many had hoped for so recently.

Containment plan:
1) do not interfere too much,
2) do not laugh out loud.
McFaul is a dilettante in everything. There is no point in commenting on his reasoning. Only now it dawned on him that:

First, the US needs to get rid of the stereotype that Russia is a gas station country with a weak economy and a declining military. This is fundamentally wrong, Russia is one of the most powerful countries in the world with armed forces that have gone through modernization, nuclear weapons, a robust economy and ideological power based on Putin's rule.

Try to keep “it” afloat and within the limits of profitability ... I think it’s giving up, the profit has already been sorted out, we are preparing to cover the losses ...

I just commented on the article and I do not know how my comment got under you.

Quote: WIKI

Do we have a strong ideology or propaganda?

REFERENCE
Ideology (Greek ιδεολογία; from ιδέα "prototype, idea" + λογος "word, mind, teaching") - a system of conceptually formed ideas that expresses the interests, worldview and ideals of various subjects of politics - classes, nations, society, political parties, social movements - and inIt acts as a form of sanctioning the domination and power existing in society (conservative ideologies) or their radical transformation (ideology of the “left” and “right” movements).
Ideology and form of social consciousness are an integral part of culture and spiritual production.

Propaganda (Latin propaganda - subject to dissemination) - the spread of any ideas to attract supporters

Always first comes the PROMOTION of ideology, and then the consolidation of its dominance in the country.

The PROMOTION of liberalism in our country was strong under Gorbachev in the late 1980s and before the shooting of the House of Soviets in Moscow in 1993 under Yeltsin.
And after 1993, liberal ideology became strong in the country - in fact, it became a state ideology in the Russian Federation, and its propaganda among the masses also reached the state level in Russia.
Suffice it to recall the tricks of Chubais with Gaidar with those vouchers.

You can from this here:

"I think the biggest threat to America right now, in terms of undermining our security and our alliances, is Russia."
You can dig a lot of such gems, I have only one question - when will we stop calling them partners and look into clear eyes with the thought "but this one, their new president, will finally be friends with us?"
It will not. Russia, as it was enemy number 1 for them, will remain, even if there is a president there, even Biden, or not Biden.

[Cron]

You can dig a lot of such gems, I have only one question - when will we stop calling them partners and look into clear eyes with the thought "but this one, their new president, will finally be friends with us?"

Well, "partners" are just a polite convention, dictated by a weaker position and excessive peacefulness.

It will not. Russia, as it was enemy number 1 for them, will remain, even if there is a president there, even Biden, or not Biden.

Whether it's Biden or not Biden. Whether Putin or not Putin. Here you are right

Quote: Crowe

when will we stop calling them partners and looking into clear eyes with the thought "but this one, their new president, will be friends with us at last?"

I think those on whom it depends do not indulge themselves with ethereal illusions that an "entot" or another new president of theirs can make a decision about friendship or enmity between the United States and Russia. But in any case, they will have to interact with representatives of their administrations. I hope that it will not come to a primitive massacre ... So, we were "partners", "partners" and we will remain.

The name that Putin gave them does not at all oblige him, in fact does not show his desire, to act in relation to these "partners" in the style of Bakatin. We will continue to smile at each other, putting our hand on the handle of the pistol under the hollow of our jacket.

[mark2]

Russia, as it was enemy number 1 for them, will remain, at least who will be the president there, at least Biden, at least not Biden

It can also be added that Russia will be any enemy, either under Putin or without him.
It is not about the "correctness of behavior" of Russia. The fact is that society in the United States is like that. They should always have an enemy, albeit a designated one. It's money. This is the essence of capitalism.

In conclusion, the author writes that Putin is not eternal, so the United States needs to "befriend" Russia with an eye to the future, waiting for that day to come and Russia will return to the path of democracy.

And this is a win-win strategy for the United States. In all post-Soviet republics, sooner or later, leaders come (or will come to Belarus) who, at least, will treat the United States better than the Russian Federation, and at the most, will become open enemies of the Russian Federation. The United States works for the future, while Russia does not.

To the author, "I didn't even notice the elephant." There, the article must be disassembled in several aspects, and all of them will be very unpleasant for hamsters.

"bring" freedom and democracy "
How many have already been brought in, still many cannot wake up from such "freedom / democracy" ...

[t-12]

A sensible and fairly obvious strategy. The Americans will not (most likely) bomb Russia with vigorous loaves. But limiting the technological development of Russia, interrupting foreign economic ties (by means of sanctions), exhausting with unbearable military expenditures (by creating a military threat; for example, by placing the INF Treaty in Eastern Europe, including Ukraine) - it is quite possible.

Somehow it is necessary to "accidentally" S.V. Lavrov say: "Biden is our boy!" --- let him wash himself, his own will trample, like Trump ...

[Mavrikiy]

ideological power based on the power of Putin.

Read Putin. "We have no ideology, because ideology is bad."

[abrakadabre]

it is necessary to get rid of the stereotype that Russia is a gas station country with a weak economy and a declining army. This is fundamentally wrong, Russia is one of the most powerful countries in the world with armed forces that have gone through modernization, nuclear weapons, a strong economy and ideological power.

From this turn!
True, ideological power should be deleted. The authorities on principle and diligently disown the acceptance of state ideology. But otherwise ... From this twist!

My first comment? Probably because the others did not have censorship words about this McFaul's article. And I won't.

[bistrov.]

In the place of the leadership of Russia, I would not recognize "Bidon" as president at all, with the appropriate conclusions.
I think that in 2014, it was also a big mistake to recognize the Bandera-Nazi authorities in "Ukraine", there would be no international howl now. It is necessary, at least, to do it retroactively and now break off all relations with them, incl. trade and economic, block the gas supply to them, refuse to supply fuel elements. Let them drown with dung, the cold cleans the upper part of the body well.

.Nothing the USA can today, except that it will destroy its vasals and itself. The world has changed, China has overtaken them in all directions. Today they are already a second-rate state, and as time goes by, China is more and more detached from them. Economic sanctions against Russia will only bring them wasals in Europe and Japan that the Chinese will economically pay off their speed. For 10 years, the Germans will drive Chinese cars, not talking about the rest. The last clever and evil American was Zbigniew Bezhinski, and children today are not up to his knees. The USA today looks like a psycho with a weapon in his hands, and a psycho is dangerous in the first place for himself, and then for others.
They live today in a vyrtuelny reality from 1980. , and today 2021. they can do nothing but commit suicide. It is already a pity to look at them and their dreams of size, gentlemen, American bureaucrats need to make peace with this that the world is moving into the future and you must come to terms with this or simply disappear from this world. The choice for today the United States will march into the future with the rest of the states as equal or will simply be destroyed.

American press talks about containing "Putin's Russia"

I do not know what the American press is discussing, but ours is only discussing America. About Russia only coronavirus.

[501 Legion]

And if you could write in the same way but swap Russia and Matrasnya. ? how would the "partners" react

[IRS]

That one president, that the other - both from the same hospital, nothing more. And you never see real doctors.
Navalny did not need to be persecuted, he needs to be given a new direction of activity, it can even be forced, he still does not know how to do anything else, except to mock freaks and hypocrisy ...
Where is the United States and where is Russia and who really needs to be contained - that is the correct question! Or rather, who exactly. And then they learned the name of our country, and then the thought does not go from anyone.
Blaming Russia for aggression at the US level is like declaring an ordinary person with an obvious underweight who was just going to buy bread to the store as a possible winner of international weightlifting competitions, and did not even hope to buy meat ...
How can you impute aggression to a country that has a catastrophic decline in population? Not many people now understand one very terrible thing for all Russian people - we may not survive as a country before the war. Everyone sees the danger in the war, but few do not see the situation when there will be very few people, and what may happen next. The simplest calculations show that the Russian Federation will no longer be able to control its borders with a population of 70-75 million people. Then the irreversible loss of technologies will begin - there will simply be no one to inherit them. With a population of 45-50 million people, LOSS OF STATE SOVEREIGNTY IS INEVITABLE, i.e. the Russian flag can be removed from the Kremlin, because the borders will actually be open by that time, the RF Armed Forces will be drained of blood, and the heavy and medium industry, which determines the independence of any state, will simply cease to exist ... including from the American. It is beneficial for the Americans to see us aggressive, and they keep repeating this. But, if they were aware at the same time of all the absurdity of their clearly couch statements (or designed for a couch audience) ... then the likelihood of moving from confrontation to cooperation would be more likely.

[Antokha]

Everyone sees the danger in the war, but few do not see the situation when there will be very few people

Seeing is not enough, you have to act. It is necessary to give birth to 3-4 children. Putin is helping this, I would say hurt. But if we don't, then yes - the country will perish.

[IRS]

I apologize for the spelling and grammar in the previous post - I didn't manage to edit it, time is up.

[Antokha]

the likelihood of going from confrontation to cooperation would be more <higher>

That is so, but for them we are like wild natives. Dangerous, yes, but to cooperate with us ... well, this is how you will be offered to actively invest in cooperation with the Papuans on an equal footing. Laughter, but this is how Americans perceive us. This can hardly be reversed, because they are not at all interested in who we are and how we live, just as we are not interested in the Papuans, even though there is science and industry, etc. If a guy is not interested in a girl, he will not "cooperate" with her, no matter what she does. We should think about ourselves, not how to please them. We will not like it.

[IRS]

That's how it is, but to them we are like wild natives

Your opinion does not reflect reality, it reflects the "Aboriginal complex". Aborigines and those who "like the Papuans" do not need to fly into space and be the undisputed leaders in space propulsion engineering - examples of the sea, how can they be ignored without being complex? So, draw your conclusions. This is not an insult - this is a request to you in everyone who is like you, as soon as possible to engage in auto-correction of your intellectual apparatus ...
Your economic metaphor about a guy and a girl is too imprecise, you summarized everything, this is a mistake. Without cooperation, not a single major power will be able to survive further - national ideas will not allow building empires beyond the ethnic boundaries of the "aboriginal" habitat, including the capitoline; it will not be possible to isolate oneself either - this path has already been passed, trade relations have long become transcontinental, and the efficiency of transport technologies will not allow isolated economic relations to dominate over transcontinental ones. The list of necessary technologies that determine the stability of any state today also indicates the need to have at its disposal natural resources distributed, namely, throughout the planet ... so, if you develop your metaphor, then it will not be about what to like, but about what what is necessary for life. And from your own words, something like the following will turn out ... to like it - not to like it, but a guy with a girl, and a guy with a guy, and a girl with a girl, and then all together - otherwise healthy children will not be born ... that's how much ugly and absurd in fact yours, seemingly quite poetic, metaphor ... it does not fit. Be careful with metaphors, their deceptive simplicity may one day play not in your favor ...)

[faterdom]

and ideological power based on Putin's rule.

Powerfully pushed in. In fact, the bidet is that we do not have ideological power, and if there is, it is contrary to the power of Putin who diligently shies away from ideology and escapes like soap in a bathroom.
After retirement and "self-isolation", Putin's power is based on itself and on TV. Not even on the rating, and of course, not on the people's confidence. And that's bad.
Putin has only one way to do something in this regard: to step on the throats of a host of "friends", and still turn to a welfare state with industry and science.
To expel the Golikovs-Grefs-Siluanovs from the real power - otherwise I personally don’t believe! To start...
And even more so to remove the mocking liberal tone in relation to the Soviet Union - you are not even close to its achievements, to allow yourself to be silly and clever

Quote: Anton

Putin helps this

Yes, of course, Putin is an awesome assistant)). Yes, and some kind of wording "you need to give birth to children - Putin is already helping," oh, what a pity that Mikhail Zadornov died - he would have found an answer to you)) ..
You are just some kind of comedian .... But I'm not. .... Remember one thing well - Putin does not need you, he does not even need the population, he helps ... to raise the livestock ... of cattle ... for the preparation of wool and meat .... The whole tragedy of our country today precisely the fact that Putin is NOT an ASSISTANT to us ... in any way, even in the ridiculous way you described him. After the USSR collapsed, no one ever helped us - WE ONLY USED ... and continue to do so.
Only a pig in a pigsty can be guided by the wording "it is necessary to give birth to three or four children" can only be a pig in a pigsty - she does not need to think about the future, her life will end where it began - in a pigsty, her cubs will still be prepared for dinner or she herself will eat them, out of hunger - if "Putin" does not add compound feed on time ...
A person always wants to live humanly, and not somehow else. The answer to non-birth is the answer to the question why the indigenous population of the country in their native homeland no longer has life. Its correct solution will completely unfold all social problems by 180 degrees. Without this there will be NOTHING except the pigsty.
One day the pigsty will become too dirty and contagious, it will become unprofitable to clean and wash ... and it will simply be burned, and the pigs will be cut ... can't you see that?

American press talks about containing "Putin's Russia"

How did they get it ... There is Russia, Russia, Kievan Rus, Muscovite Rus, the Russian kingdom, the Russian Empire, the RSFSR, the Russian Federation ...
There is a system, a Soviet system, hence the name Soviet Russia. There is a bourgeois system, bourgeois Russia. But there is no "Putin", "Brezhnev" or any other.

New American President Joe Biden, unlike Donald Trump, does not intend to be friends with Vladimir Putin

So Trump was not friends with Putin ... Nothing new.

[yuriy55]

Putin's economic model of the development of Russia suffered a fiasco because this development concerned a certain contingent, and this model was initially turned its back to the ordinary citizen, to the worker, to the person of creative labor ... To put it bluntly.

so as not to powder the brains of people, first take the data on the state of the country in the 2000s and compare with the 2020s. Maybe then you will wiser a little. And there are enough problems everywhere, in any, even the most "democratic" country in the world

[yuriy55]

Quote: japan-k

first, take the data on the state of the country of the 2000s

Take the data for a country from the 1970s and compare it with the data for 2020. For me, the current state policy can only be called effective based on the results of the population census. A country in which the population is falling, and in 30 years it has not even approached the indicators of 1991, cannot be called successful, despite the 100-fold increase in the number of billionaires, nor the level of average wages, nor the increased (exactly the adoption of the new pension law) the average life expectancy.

And you do not separate the power of the 90s from the power of Putin. He was always with her. Until 1996 - in the city hall of St. Petersburg, after 1996 - in the Kremlin (chief executive of the president).
So, don't tell me the tale of who brought the country to the level of 2000, and who glorified it with achievements in 2021.
If you are such a literalist, remind us what we had to achieve by 2020. And hide your feathery globe in ... a purse.

This requires an analysis of Russia's actions and an assessment of what Putin's Russia actually represents and how the United States can effectively counter it.

Apparently, those people who can do this have been removed from any positions of power (or positions of interaction with the authorities) since the days of Obama. So, I think, there will be some kind of regular nonsense, such as the Navalny case, or some other more idiotic accusation, from which all adequate people around the planet will laugh at them.
