The Russians have summed up their experience with the US foreign policies and the Foreign Ministry released the following message (auto-translated):
"Commentary of the Department of Information and Press of the Russian MFA in connection with the report of the US intelligence services
It is noteworthy that the statements of representatives of various American authorities on key issues of international relations, in particular concerning security problems and assessments of relevant threats to the United States, often have serious Differences. The logical inconsistencies in speeches on this topic by the high representatives of the Washington politician are increasingly misleading the expert community and observers.
Thus, from the estimates of global threats to the security of the United States, set out by the country's intelligence coordinator, D. Coates, in the Senate on 29 January, it follows that the main danger is not international terrorism. Despite the fact that he actually refutes recent allegations about the "victory" of the Americans over ISIL, the terrorist risks mentioned, but in the background. The focus was on the need to confront Russia and China, which Washington considers to be its main rivals, as well as Iran and the DPRK.
It was on this understanding of priorities that the speech of the US chief Scout was built. And American legislators willingly agreed with that.
This approach is, of course, regrettable. In general, it seems that the United States, despite such a hard lesson in its history as al-Qaeda's attacks of 11 September 2001, has lost interest in international anti-terrorist cooperation.
Instead of countering real challenges, Washington prefers fictional threats, setting its public to confrontation with States that are not going to inflict any harm on Americans. On the contrary, the United States is constantly trying to exert pressure on Russia, China, Iran and the DPRK with economic sanctions and demonstrations of military force at their borders.
Moreover, as we see in Syria, Washington is not averse to using even outright terrorists for its geopolitical purposes. Eight years of the Syrian war, the American Security services, contrary to their own legislation, support and hide from retaliation thugs directly associated with al-Qaeda, in vain hoping with their help to change power in Damascus.
The report, which was presented by D. Coates, still noted that Russia "would like to establish cooperation with the United States in the areas of convergence of American and Russian interests." This is true, including our willingness to cooperate closely in the fight against terrorism. However, it is not silent whether they aspire to the same in Washington.
Judging by the constant-sounding anti-Russian rhetoric from the United States, it seems that there are persistently looking for the enemy at all, not where it really is. Such a delusion is very dangerous."
