Russian politicians and political scientists are discussing Moscow's demands on Washington for security guarantees. Today it became known that the US administration gave its response to Russian requests, but did not disclose any details itself and, as the American press writes, asked the Russian side not to disclose these details.
There is a group of experts who believe that the demands of Russia and the American response to them are a staged action. Washington and Moscow are trying to act out an act in a play with each other, having, in fact, already assigned roles. All these actions, as noted, are designed, on the one hand, to enter the "track" of stable relations, on the other hand, to divert the attention of the international community from activities in completely different directions.
State Duma Deputy Mikhail Delyagin presents his point of view on the negotiation process between Russia and the United States. In his opinion, expressed in an interview with Den TV host Dionysus Kaptar, it is extremely important for the United States today not to allow China to resolve the so-called "Taiwan issue". China recently played a strategic war game, the results of which showed that it could not take control of Taiwan on its own. Support from Russia is important for Beijing here. And Russia, in terms of organizing and managing the operation, according to Delyagin, can help the PRC. The United States, on the other hand, cannot afford such a rapprochement between the Russian Federation and China, therefore it is beneficial for Washington today to force Russia to think about the Ukrainian problem at the borders.
In such a situation, a political action is played out, the outcome of which depends primarily on the behind-the-scenes game, behind-the-scenes agreements.
Opinion of Mikhail Delyagin:
