US Deputy Secretary of Defense: We still want to cooperate with Russia, and we have mutual interests

27
US Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work said during an interview with the Defense News publication that American policy toward the Russian Federation should be firm and balanced, since the two countries have mutual interests, and the times when the United States was the only superpower ended and now they need keep in mind resurgent China and Russia.



“Russia, first of all, wants to be considered as a great power with global interests. They (Russia) clearly signal to us that they have interests and will actively protect them as they see fit, ”- quotes an excerpt from an interview with RIA "News".

According to the official, the United States should have a “firm” and “balanced” position in strengthening the defense of NATO member states in Eastern Europe.

“We still want to cooperate with Russia, and we have mutual interests,” said Wark, explaining what he means by combating terrorism and space exploration.

In addition, according to him, “Putin only reflects what the public believes in” of the Russian Federation.

“If you look at Putin’s high approval ratings, it seems that the Russians want to be a strong nation again, they want to be taken seriously on the world stage, and that they like what Putin is doing,” added Wark.

At the same time, he stressed that he did not believe that “the whole thing is in Putin” and after his resignation from the post of president “antagonism (between Russia and the West) will automatically disappear.”

    Another "expert on human souls."
    I wonder when this comrade made such in-depth conclusions about the moods and aspirations of the Russians, what was he guided by? He was not in Russia, he did not live, he only spoke with Russians, at most, on Brighton Beach ... so where does this omniscience come from?

      The times of this office are over! The year remaining before the elections - you don’t have to talk much with the United States at all - there begins the pre-election squabble of clans and the agony of Obama, who generally does not understand what he needs to do! Kerry, even less adequate, but he does not have much power! Biden whose pawn ... Therefore, the GDP needs to be tough to pursue a policy exclusively in the interests of Russia and its allies without regard to the blathering of the White House! But they will choose a new head of the Oval Office, then you can think about diplomacy!

        And then suddenly ....

        The meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will take place today. He will visit Russia on a working visit.
        “During the talks, it is planned to discuss topical issues of bilateral cooperation and the international agenda. In particular, an exchange of views is expected on the themes of the Middle East peace process and the fight against the global terrorist threat ",
        http://russian.rt.com/article/117809#ixzz3mLYAj5IN

        And bang ...
        Turkish President Rezhet Erdogan will meet with President Putin in Moscow, where he will arrive on Wednesday 23 September for the opening of the reconstructed mosque after reconstruction. The president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, is also expected here, but in the affairs of the presidents things may change at the last moment. For Erdogan, this is the only opportunity to talk with Putin before the anniversary meeting of the Russian-Turkish High-Level Cooperation Council dedicated to the 95 anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations.

        What do you think, comrades? winked

          In fact, this meeting on the transfer of weapons in Syria (including the c300), the Israeli prime minister wants to ensure that the weapons do not fall into Hizbola’s hands, and if they do, they want to be sure that Russia will not be against them destruction.

          Well, like that, like, I think. feel

      The year of the US Department of Defense did not react to the proposals of the Russian Ministry of Defense. After a report in Congress on the fight against ISIS, the tone of American politicians and the military immediately changed. Russia was immediately needed, and even Assad can be tolerated.

        Vladislav, and did not think that in addition to the report in Congress, the timely and demonstrative increase in aid to Syria also played a role.
        And by the way, Robert Wark’s speech clearly demonstrates this, the Yankees were a little lost, they didn’t calculate that Russia would support the almost fallen Assad.
        I am not a supporter of GDP, but operations in Syria, as a military man, do justice: competently and in a timely manner.

        Well, like that. winked

    A world without Russia is nowhere !!! We are not Russia of the 90s spineless and unprincipled, we already have weight on the world stage, and we must be reckoned with.
    But to be friends with America is the last thing, such friendship will not lead to good ... IMHO.

    And against this background, they continue to pursue a policy of sanctions. When is NATO trampling along the borders of Russia, organizing continuous provocations ?! A hypocrite, like most politicians in Washington and Europe! Only a strong Russia will make you respect yourself!

    ANALYTICS suggested that there is a powerful analytical school - they draw conclusions about the World Economy on the movement of Putin's eyebrows. Amerika again wants to put her poop more expensive. It turns out that they have common interests with us. YAH ??? We will do everything as we need, and a bolt at all, period.

    We are already so strong that the US mongrels are starting to flirt and wag their tails! "Antagonism (between Russia and the West)" will not go anywhere, even if Putin leaves! As the Jew said in the joke "WILL NOT EXPECT"! Russia is not on the way with Gayevrope's choking bedding! They beat and "taught" and if necessary, we can remind you what the exhaust of our tanks smells like on the squares of most capitals of the so-called. civilized West!

    Here the most interesting We still want.

    Does this mean that soon the Americanoids will even stop wanting?
