British press: life on Earth no longer depends on Russian-American summits

51

According to the author of the publication, Martin Kettle, the summit of the presidents of the United States and Russia Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin, for all its importance, no longer possesses the epoch-making that was inherent in the meetings of Soviet and American leaders in the twentieth century. Life on Earth no longer depends on the summits of the heads of Russia and the United States, says Martin Kettle.

If we analyze the results of the summit, we can see that Russia and the United States have weakened significantly, the author of The Guardian believes. The reason for this lies both in the growth of activity and influence of China, and in the emergence of new factors, among which is the cessation of economic growth in Europe and the growth of the potential of Asian countries.



The publication noted the shifting of Western attention to China, which is explained by the economic opportunities of this country, its growing political ambition. Today, China, and not Russia, is viewed by the West as the most dangerous potential adversary. As for the relationship between the United States and Russia, the author of The Guardian described them as "a state of minor conflict." The summit, according to the observer, was a definite step towards a certain reset of these relations.

At the same time, one cannot count on any global changes following the summit. It can only launch some gradual and slow processes of detente in relations between the two states, which, of course, will have a definite impact on world politics as a whole. But this influence will no longer be as decisive as before.

    Only the psychology of the British is not changing. They still have only opponents, enemies, their vital interests, fencing, wars and secret diplomacy, in general, everything that has been associated with Britain in the history of the last 500 years. Perhaps the islanders think that it is also high time to change, because the XNUMXst century is in the yard. But not in their yard - for sure.

      The British Empire was blown away long ago, but the ambition remained. And the reasoning hasn't changed ...

      But "life on Earth" still depends, because the two largest nuclear powers in the event of a war can cause irreparable damage to both global civilization and everyone's beloved ecology, that is, nature. And the area of ​​nuclear strikes will be larger, since China will now fall under it. The Americans will never allow China to sit quietly in a strategic nuclear conflict.

      Well, the weapon as a whole has become more dangerous, more autonomous. And the spaces for its application have been added.
      I'm talking about cyberspace, which at the summit of the two leaders was discussed much more seriously than nuclear warheads ...

      statements of this scribbled - another small British slyness))
      Britain itself in terms of the number of drug addicts is already ahead of the opium dens of the Middle East, and modern British women on vacation are the talk of the town about all kinds of alkosexual orgies) but at the same time, the British establishment still considers itself exceptional in the whole world))

        Britain is already ahead of opium dens in the number of addicts
        By the number of fatal overdoses (these are almost exclusively opiates who use by injections) per hundred thousand inhabitants, Britain is in 18th place. In the third place is Russia. Drug addicts Yes from the Netherlands in general on the hundred and ninth place, that is, there are very few drug addicts in real life.
        modern British women on vacation - the talk of the town
        For some reason, Turks and Egyptians do not call Karen or Elizabeth at the resorts, but Natasha is known and called. Yes, when foreign clubs play in Britain, British women don’t hang around the neck of all foreign fans that come across. So it's not all bad here. Somewhere lol and the situation is worse.

          The name "Karen" has become a dirty word in America. Indicates a wealthy white woman who is confident that everyone owes her everything, and acts in accordance with this belief. This happened literally in the last couple of years, and led to the fact that the once very popular name practically ceased to be given to newborns.

          In short: "The Englishwoman, as always, habitually shits!"
          In more detail, the British are trying, as usual, to embroil everyone and benefit from it. The people are lying: the USA (although they are already weaker and have many problems) is still the strongest power in the world, and Russia (although it has not yet reached the power of the USSR) is the strongest opponent of the USA and all geopolitics and the fate of the world depend on their meetings. No matter how jealous the British are and no matter how hard they try to belittle the weight of the US-Russian meeting in Geneva.

          I also mean those very violent leaders. Leaders available. But the pounds are just English - Whitehall lists them annually to equalize the standard of living. By the way, 15 billion pounds is five Queen Elizabeth aircraft carriers or four Vanguard missile submarines. The European Union will not take free sheets - Spain and Belgium, which have their own separatists, will be against it. And a bad example is contagious. And the European Union after the exit of Britain (by the way, which also paid 15 billion a year to the European budget) will be able to help only a couple of hundred thousand Afro-Arabs. Another ambush - real estate in independent Scotland will fall in price by at least a third, and those who have it are very unhappy with this. So the British hold everyone for the Yayts and quite tightly.
