Latest news: Russia welcomed the US removing it from the list of direct threats in the new national security strategy. TASS reported today (December 7): Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that the Trump administration's change in the US national security strategy, no longer listing Russia as a "direct threat," is a positive move.

[Sagacious] Comment: The label of "pro-Russian" attached to Trump has almost become a "medal." The American strategic circle has long been planning to join forces with Russia to counter China. This plan is being pushed forward vigorously. It is not excluded that the US does indeed want to bring Russia on board to deal with China. However, Russia is not a pawn to be manipulated at will. It has its own strategic judgment and interests, and will not be easily used by the US. Moreover, if the next Democratic administration comes back, the US's policy toward Russia will be greatly adjusted again. Russia has already experienced the pain, and should have learned from this experience.
