Across the European Union, they‘re in shock at what is happening in the United States. In the past two weeks alone, first the uproar over President Joe Biden’s embarrassment in the debate, and now the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, which has disrupted the entire election campaign and given the Republican a head start.
To be fair, it should be noted that Trump has not yet won the race – ...
The thoughtless imposition of restrictions only aggravates the situation in the U.S. economy
Russia's top envoy to the United States has warned that the sweeping sanctions campaign pursued by President
Joe Biden
and his allies has backfired, instead hurting the U.S.' economy and international prestige during a dangerous period of global instability.
Moscow's ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, told
Newsweek

... Putin’s forthcoming visit to New Delhi could be a starting point.
When Russian President Vladimir Putin visits India next week, it will be one of just two foreign trips he has made this year, the other one being his June meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden in Geneva. Putin skipped both the G20 and COP26; an expected trip to China was rescheduled due to COVID; yet the Russian leader has decided to travel to New Delhi. This step is hopefully more than mere symbolism in the traditionally warm Russo-Indian ...
By virtue of its combined power capabilities, the United States continues to occupy a central place in international politics, and developments inside the country inevitably become the most important factor in world affairs

... and his policies as a temporary aberration, after which a “return to normal” US policy (as it was after the end of the Cold War) should occur. Trump’s turnaround did not seem real or final to many. However, their projections were all in vain.

The two sides also reached an understanding on the advisability of engaging in consultations ...
... otherwise undoubtedly lead to an even greater aggravation of the Ukrainian conflict, the situation around Belarus and a large-scale spiral of the arms race. This does not correspond to either Russian or American interests (as they are understood by the Biden administration).
For Russia, such an escalation would be fraught with the emergence of anti-Russian sanctions to a qualitatively new level, the need to increase military spending (today the Russian leadership is cutting defence spending and is proud ...
