The U.S. Is against China & Iran. What about Russia?

“The de facto broadening of the presence of the United States and NATO in the Southern Caucasus is already occurring, and one must be blind not to see it. Although this territory doesn’t share a border with the West, this region always was and to this day remains a tasty morsel for it. One more piece of evidence for this is the location of the early warning radar in the installation of the missile defense system in Turkey, created by the U.S. and NATO,” says Regnum’s Azerbaijani analyst Zardusht Alizadeh. In his words, Russia has nothing to fear from these steps taken by the U.S., because U.S. politics lately has been directed not against Russia, but against China.

“Apparently we will soon see the fall of the regime in Syria, and then in Iran, and in this way the U.S. will take control of the entire Middle Eastern oil and gas industry. But considering that 90 percent of China’s hydrocarbons come from this market, one can imagine what fate awaits the country. In all of this geopolitical adventurism, the U.S. wants to see Russia as an ally rather than an enemy. Judging by everything, Washington is deliberately, step by step, moving forward with its plan, creating a new geopolitical reality, already no longer a suspicion, but extremely visible and dangerous for peace in the region. I don’t rule out that in the near future the U.S. will begin to install regimes convenient to it in the South Caucasus, and Russia cannot prevent this from occurring. In foreign politics there are no coincidences! The main foreign policy principle of the U.S. — protectionism — isn’t likely to change after half a century,” according to the political scientist.

However, according to another Azerbaijani political scientist, Rasim Agaev, the main target of the modern revolutions in Arab nations is not Iran, but Russia. “To suppose that the goal of the Arab revolutions concerns some separate country is naïve. Their goal is a global redrawing of the political map. These revolutions are part of a geopolitical mega-project implemented by the West. This is about control of hydrocarbon reserves and strategic transportation corridors, large areas which most interest the U.S. and the West,” Agaev states.

The analyst is certain that if Iran’s regime changes, its foreign policy orientation will be pro-American. “In that case, the Americans will move closer to the borders of the South Caucasus, with all the associated consequences,” said Agaev.
