【Medvedev's comments on the new U.S. National Security Strategy: Pragmatism of Trump is more acceptable】On December 7, Russian former president and current vice chairman of the Security Council, Medvedev, posted a comment on social media about the new U.S. National Security Strategy. The original text is translated as follows:
Americans are still "training" the EU, which has lost its mind. Of course, this is to remind this "sick animal" who is the real master of the circus. Even Musk (who is dissatisfied with X platform being fined) has joined the mocking group, hoping for the disintegration of the EU.
It's good! Overall, this is beneficial for us. Compared to Biden's absurd globalist ideas, Trump's big-state pragmatism is more acceptable.
This White House has released a rather intriguing document. It is not just the usual arrogant clichés of American diplomats, but more like a huge ship that, after long-term inertia, finally decides to change direction. For the first time in years, Washington has openly admitted that it is necessary to restore "strategic stability" in Eurasia and re-establish relations with Russia.
In fact, Washington has effectively acknowledged that the global order can no longer be maintained by the United States alone. For a country that has always seen itself as a "giant supporting the sky," this sky has become too heavy. Now it begins to look for partners to share the pressure, and Russia inevitably becomes one of them - after all, we are among the few countries in the European security architecture that have real influence.
For many years, the description of Russia in U.S. documents has, for the first time, not been "a threat," but "a participant in strategic stability dialogue." Notably, the document explicitly mentions stopping NATO expansion - yet Ukraine is not mentioned at all in this section. This U.S. strategy surprisingly aligns with our long-standing position: security must be shared, and national sovereignty must be respected. Russia has long advocated resolving issues through negotiations, rather than imposing so-called "rules-based order" on the world in an arrogant manner - especially those rules that are not even written into international law.
Now, the "window" for dialogue has slightly opened.
