Trump Criticizes Russia Again in UN Speech, Tensions Between the U.S. and Russia Rise Again

From Trump's statements, it seems that the momentum of easing relations between the United States and Russia has completely collapsed this time! The U.S. strategy of using Russia to counter China has completely failed. On September 23, Trump delivered a speech at the United Nations in front of countries around the world. To be honest, this time Trump targeted many countries, but Russia was the country most directly targeted by the United States, without any doubt.

The first point is that Trump claimed that the original borders at the beginning of the war were a completely feasible option, and Ukraine would be able to reclaim its country in its original form. The second point is that Trump said that NATO member states should shoot down Russian aircraft that intrude. The third point is that Trump wants to pressure China, India, and Europe not to purchase Russian oil. The fourth point is that Trump even publicly ridiculed Russia, calling it a paper tiger.

To be honest, when Trump took office, the United States repeatedly tried to build closer relations with Russia, and even held meetings between leaders of the two countries. But what happened? After the meeting, just a few days later, Trump turned against Russia, completely changing his face. With such a flip-flop foreign policy, Russia would have great reservations about trying to ease relations with the United States.

Now, it seems that all countries have realized that the United States may not have a long-term strategic plan. The way the United States acts revolves around one point only: ensuring maximum American interests. Once the United States' demands are not met, it will turn its back on them instantly. Obviously, the so-called strategy of using Russia to counter China is impossible. Russia has also realized that the United States is indeed not trustworthy. In the future, Russia will also prepare for the possibility of U.S. retaliation.
