The MGIMO dean called for action against the US rather than admonishing Trump.
Russia must radically change its foreign policy approaches.
This was stated by the Dean of the Faculty of Management and Politics at MGIMO, Henry Sardaryan, at a roundtable in Moscow, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" Trump doesn't care about international law or any obligations ... He has a task, he copes with it by any means necessary, and he is also proud of everything that directly violates international law.
I'm not advocating the same, but in today's world, countries that don't have our status can simply complain that it's unfair . If we see that our opponent only understands that language— Iran is a very clear example.
The state put up a very strong fight, using all possible resources, and all the bravado and invincibility of the Americans in the first stage was replaced by the fact that it turns out that these Khamenei and the IRGC are very good people – very democratic forces …
"Because there's simply no more opportunity to achieve their goals at this stage. As soon as they realize they can't force anything, they immediately start talking about how we'll come to an agreement. Well, that's just the way the administration is," Sardaryan said.
" I would be happy if intelligent people were sitting there, and in Europe we would be dealing with balanced, strategically minded political leaders. But, unfortunately, Kaja Kallas is responsible for foreign policy there, and Ursula von der Leyen is in charge, while the leaders of European countries with a 10-12% approval rating manage hundreds of billions of dollars, which they openly direct toward potential threats that will be directed against Russia."
And in the US we have people who smile at us, meet us in Anchorage, say nice things, but then get into our backyard and don't behave in a very friendly way.
And one can respond to this by saying that this is unacceptable. For a country like Russia, less talk and more action is needed to prevent these actors from having such an opportunity ," the expert urged.
