OBAMA E LA RUSSIA

Per i rapporti Russia-Usa l'elezione di Obama é positiva. Nel senso che con un russofobico come McCain le cose sarebbero state più difficili. Ma anche con Obama non saranno rose e fiori. Basta dare un'occhiata alla strategia presentata in campagna elettorale. Sulla Georgia ne hanno sparate di tutti i colori. Certo, combinarne più di Cheney sará difficile, bisognerá vedere cosa succederá ora sul campo. Al Cremlino sono (per ora, Medvedev parla oggi alla nazione, commenterá) freddi, ormai si muovono per la loro strada.

"Meeting the Challenge of a Resurgent Russia

• The Problem: Russia's invasion of Georgia in August 2008 has created a serious new security challenge for the United States and our partners in Europe. In contrast to the Bush Administration's erratic policy of embracing Vladimir Putin but neglecting U.S.-Russian relations, Barack Obama and Joe Biden will address the challenge posed by an increasingly autocratic and bellicose Russia by pursuing a new, comprehensive strategy that advances American national interests without compromising our enduring principles.

• A Comprehensive Strategy: Russia today is not the Soviet Union, and we are not returning to the Cold War. Retrofitting outdated 20th century thinking to address this new 21st century challenge will not advance American national interests. Instead, Obama and Biden will address the new challenges Russia poses by pursuing an integrated and vigorous strategy that encompasses the entire region. The core components of this strategy include:

  1. Supporting democratic partners and upholding principles of sovereignty throughout Europe and Eurasia while working proactively to gauge effectively the intentions of actors in the region, and address tensions between countries before they escalate into military confrontations;
  2. Strengthening the Transatlantic alliance, so that we deal with Russia with one, unified voice;
  3. Helping to decrease the dependence of our allies and partners in the region on Russian energy;
  4. Engaging directly with the Russian government on issues of mutual interest, such as countering nuclear proliferation, reducing our nuclear arsenals, expanding trade and investment opportunities, and fighting Al Qaeda and the Taliban; and also reaching out directly to the Russian people to promote our common values; and,
  5. Keeping the door open to fuller integration into the global system for all states in the region, including Russia, that demonstrates a commitment to act as responsible, law-abiding members of the international community".
