So… this is how we’re framing things now.
Russia and the Islamic State, also known as Daesh, are at the top of the list of threats to the United States, US Army Chief Gen. Mark Milley stated in a national defense conference in Washington, DC on Monday.
“I still think Russia remains the number one threat to the United States because <…> they are the only entity on earth that has the capability to destroy the United States,” Milley said.
Yeah.
Except the United States. That’s an entity which still has the power to destroy the United States.
Milley characterized the Islamic State as “equally dangerous, but in a different way” as they have demonstrated “an intent, aspiration and they have demonstrated a reach into Europe and the United States.”
“Those two [Russia and the Islamic State] I put right at the top,” Milley said of threats to the United States.
In his US Senate confirmation hearing in July, Milley characterized Russia as the leading existential threat to the United States. In November, Milley recommended the United States deploy additional rotational forces to eastern Europe, to bolster NATO’s borders with Russia.
What did Russia actually do? Other than ban faggots? What exactly makes them a threat? Or are they simply a default threat because they have the ability to be a threat?
At least Obama finally appears to be backing down a bit. Sent Kerry over.
Could be a fake-out.
Probably is.
The Obama administration appears to have finally dropped its unsuccessful strategy of trying to isolate Russia as evidenced by John Kerry’s visit to Moscow, which was arranged at Washington’s request some seven months after the US state secretary met with Vladimir Putin and Sergei Lavrov in Sochi.
US President Barack Obama and America’s top diplomats used to engage in tough rhetoric when it came to Russia and its policies but this era has ended.
“Kerry is coming. Obama quietly buried the corpse of his isolation policy in the White House gardens so that no one would see it. Nobody even thinks” about this strategy anymore, Russian lawmaker Alexei Pushkov tweeted.
Washington’s political establishment has finally understood that it needs Russia to tackle global challenges, including international terrorism.
Indeed, Syria makes a fine case in point. Russia’s counterterrorism campaign in the war-torn country guarantees that Moscow will take part in the upcoming peace process, many US politicians and experts now acknowledge.
