US Is Unable To Find Common Ground Yet

Unfortunately, U.S.-Russia diplomatic relations have truly become an element of public relations in many ways. As such, America’s approach to hosting the Summit for Democracy should be looked at from a PR point of view. But the U.S. has backed itself into a corner. This is a classic example of an information war; confrontation increases from one side but there is a lack of response from the other side. A question arises: How to roll back the consequences after making statements about the start of a war?

That has been a so-called internal red line among the American elite, which in the past was civilized, cared about democracy and saved Russia’s people from Russia’s power. Things are coming to light, and it has become everyone’s issue. Americans have created an illusion and are living in it. I am disappointed in Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland. Does Nuland really think that the Russian Army has only 100,000 soldiers? This frightens me, because the U.S. is believing in its own illusion — an alternate reality created by and for America’s own propaganda.

I would like to state three things. First, I do not agree that the Summit for Democracy was uneventful. For old Joe Biden, it was momentous. Biden’s position and situation are both very difficult; he needs move from one victory to the next. Thus, Biden needed a successful summit and would never have allowed for it to fail. Of course, the U.S. will continue to maintain its own version of reality. The fascinating story of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline is just one example. But the summit could not fail, because that would raise this question: Is Biden needed?

Second, Biden should actually be rated quite highly. Corporate Biden has the ability to force certain important decisions. And it is clear that there is an attempt to take some statements back. I think the U.S. became afraid when, in the process of maintaining its illusion, it rolled out its last atomic and fully destructive economic package. And then it understood that a large economic and financial crisis, as a result of this package, approaches a 100% likelihood, which America cannot allow.

So the U.S. is not yet able to find common ground on serious matters. Will it be able to? That is the big question. However, the Biden administration is perfectly capable of rolling back, reducing or getting out of the propagandistic rhetoric that has driven the U.S. into a political impasse. Of course, this bought Russia some time, as it has the U.S. The question is this: What will Russia do with that time?
