The United States is trying not only to destroy the world security system, but to distort it with the maximum benefit for itself, especially since there are also China in the list of potential “enemies of democracy” besides Russia, said Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Dmitry Novikov.
According to the parliamentarian, in this case, Washington is not even interested in the opportunity to put pressure on Moscow. The dissolution of the INF Treaty provides an opportunity to create a hopeless situation for China.
“In such conditions, China like Russia, is in favor of maintaining the INF regime, but Trump creates the conditions in which China refuses the draft [new agreement]. This fact will be used in American propaganda to blame Beijing for the start of the arms race. And if, say, China agrees, the United States will do everything to impose conditions favorable to Washington on both Beijing and Moscow, ” Novikov said.
Simply put, he continues, the US is drawing opponents into the game on unequal conditions, or is ready to unleash a storm of criticism on them for refusing to enter into a new treaty.
