Dmitry Vinogradov. The United States operates worldwide in the logic of the superpower, And Russia, for its part, will respond to excessive activity of the USA in the post-Soviet space ", said in an interview Last news Russian political scientist, historian, Deputy Director of the Institute of USA And Canada Russian Academy of Sciences Valery Garbuzov.

on Thursday in the process of the Straight line of the head of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin said that the Soviet Union After world war II tried to impose its own model of development for other countries that currently operate in the USA, they too will fail. In addition, he said that "U.S. allies't need them vassals need "And Russia" in this system of relations can not exist ".


"Every superpower With varying success trying to lead if not the whole world, its significant part. This was the basis of geopolitical confrontation during the cold war, which ended with the collapse of the USSR, " believes Garbuzov.

according to his statement, in the analysis of U.S. foreign policy should take into account that " it Has constant values that do not vary with the coming To power of new administrations." With these constants we will need to be considered And to face, " - says the expert.

"These constants are a kind of Messianic, which will disappear only in case, if you suddenly die America. In addition, foreign policy Is selfishness, However, is characteristic for many countries that are trying to lead in a region. As well as the desire to provide superiority And dominance in the world ", - said the expert.

according to him the complaints of the U.S. " based on a number of factors such as economic power, And military power And geopolitical influence."" These factors Have the United States, But not in other countries. Even China has. Even in the Soviet Union, These factors were not fully. And moreover on such a scale they are not modern Russia, " Garbuzov said.


"Another issue is that the superiority of the USA are not perfect, so, to put it mildly. They use various means of retaining this leadership. I want the US to bomb someone - They do. Want their allies to connect to It - join. The UN And the security Council was already literally overboard. This abnormal situation, " he said.

"There is a danger that the new world order will also be accompanied by such local conflicts And outbreaks, where thousands of people die," warns the analyst.

One consequence of these "too straightforward action" are anti-American sentiment, is typical for many countries in the world, believes Garbuzov." the majority of States in the Middle East do not accept It, hence this Islamic fundamentalism, anti-Americanism of the religious plan. The terrorist acts of September eleven Is, of course, the result of the rejection of American policy, " he said.


According to the Deputy Director of the Institute of USA And Canada studies, Modern Russian politics Is a reaction to excessive activity of the USA in the post-Soviet space.

"Every country needs to defend their desires. Contemporary Russian politics Is nothing but a reaction to excessive activity of the USA in the post-Soviet space, which, for its part, was carried out based on the weakness of Russia. And there was what the United States did not expect, did not expect such uncontrollable behavior of Russia that would happen With the Crimea. After the Maidan Russia (in Crimea And Ukraine - approx.) began to act very very quickly, And for American citizens This is unusual. For this reason, They also initiated the punishment of nailing the anti-Russian coalition " - said the expert.


At the same time Garbuzov not agree that " the US doesn't need allies, only vassals "." any superpower strives to make their partners, allies, surround yourself with smaller countries. USA also Want to make a system of allies And the Soviet Union some time ago. Main ally Is Western Europe. But I didn't call It a " vassal ". Didn't the Soviet Union All These States were vassals? They're partners, But they still have different contradictions ", - believes the expert.

"USA in your own desire To be a leader go too far. Most in the years of George W. Bush had begun a very serious contradictions between the USA And Western Europe. All began to realize that the Bush administration in the war on terror "built" the national desire of the United States. And under the heading of the fight against terror has expanded its sphere of influence and power. This policy of unilateral action is not very liked by the American allies, " Garbuzov said.
