The US is ready to end the century-long confrontation with Russia, says a Norwegian expert.
The United States, under the leadership of Donald Trump, is ready to end the century-long confrontation with Russia, which means that NATO and Europe will no longer be a priority for the United States.
Norwegian political scientist Glenn Diesen stated this on the Al Arabiya English television channel , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“ There is now a historic opportunity that the United States is ready to end a century of confrontation and seek peaceful coexistence with Russia in order to adapt to a new multipolar world…
I don't think it's a complete scam, but Europe is losing its priority. After the Cold War, the US sought global dominance. To achieve this, it primarily collaborated with Europeans to achieve collective hegemony. That's why NATO expansion became a key component of US security strategy. But now the world has become multipolar, with many centers of power, and China is the leading one after the US.
"So, given that the world is multipolar, the US will have different strategic interests. Their primary interest will be strengthening control over the Western Hemisphere, and their secondary interest will be countering or containing China in Asia. So, Europe is no longer a priority, and the US doesn't want to spend too many resources on it ," Diesen stated.
