"The United States respects the Russian people and their contributions to science, culture and constructive bilateral relations over many decades." - National Security Strategy of the #USA (October 2022). whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
"Notwithstanding the Russian government’s strategic miscalculation in attacking Ukraine, it is the Russian people who will determine Russia’s future as a major power capable of once more playing a constructive role in international affairs."
"Modernizing and strengthening our military will position the United States to strengthen an international order that has delivered broad benefits for the American people for decades and to outcompete our rivals who offer a different vision."
The #US NSS of October 2022 sounds like an attempt to sit on two chairs. "We kind of openly believe that #Russia needs to be destroyed, but it also seems to be through diplomatic means."
There is also a favorite #American opinion that the people of the #US are elected and only they can set their own rules. In my opinion, there is very little objectivity in this document and the US should be more restrained in expressing its attitude towards other countries.
