"America will have to give in": Washington Post readers discussed relations with Russia
Commentators from the web version of the American newspaper The Washington Post could not agree on whether a "thaw" is possible in relations between the United States and Russia. Earlier, a corresponding article was published on the website of the publication about such a possibility, where it was stated that the “melting of ice” had actually begun. Anyway, on some issues, in particular, on cybersecurity, cautious cooperation has already begun.
However, the article contains a caveat that relations can roll back to their previous level or even worse at any time.
Some comments from readers:
Bottom line: real cooperation between Russia and the United States will not take place until the latter leave Ukraine. Russia drew red lines. Inevitably America will have to give in
- writes Andrew Clifford.
The fall of the USSR turned into a complete disaster for the United States. Without the USSR, America felt entitled to carry out "regime change" anywhere and at its discretion (those countries with a lot of oil are at the top of the list). Otherwise, Libya, Iraq and Syria, as allies of the USSR, would most likely remain inviolable. In the absence of any restrictions, ignorant American policyfull of arrogance, they fell into one catastrophe after another. These wars, which have resulted in tens of millions of migrants, have also greatly destabilized the EU, resulting in major benefits for the ultranationalists.

Ha - well, yes. Let's see how this "thaw" goes as [the US authorities] raid the oligarchs' residences, and there is more and more evidence of how deeply Russian money is tied to supporting Trump.

Putin knows that Biden is a weak president who immediately conceded on issues related to natural gas for Germany. This is because Angela Merkel complained about how badly Trump treated her when Germany refused to spend 2% of GDP on defense under NATO rules. […] Putin and the Russians cannot be trusted. It was Putin who started the new Cold War. And energy is the engine for economics and the power of Russia
- argues AndrewJaySmith.
Much of the hostility between the United States and other countries is fueled by the military-industrial complex. We have no compelling reason to enter the South China Sea or the Black Sea. And there is very little cause for conflict between the United States and China or Russia. It's time to stop trying to force this fake Pax Americana on the world. Empire building completed

Really! Thirteen warships and submarines have just passed through the Tsugaru Strait between the islands of Japan as part of military exercises, which does not imply any "thaw" from Russia
- reminds of Anywhere.
The biggest geostrategic mistake of the 1941th century was Hitler's decision to invade the Soviet Union in XNUMX. The second mistake was the inability of the West to accept Russia into its own sphere of influence after the collapse of the Soviet Union. We recovered from the first mistake, but we still pay for the second
