According to analysts, with the help of weapons, Russia is promoting its foreign policy interests, thereby weakening the influence of Washington.
“What strategies can the United States pursue to make Russian weapons less attractive? To what extent should we offer the export of our own weapons to countries considering the possibility of acquiring Russian weapons?” – such questions are raised in the document.
According to analysts, with the help of weapons, Russia is promoting its foreign policy interests, thereby weakening the influence of Washington.
Some congressmen believe arms sales support “Russia’s aggressive and malicious activities” and fuel regional conflicts.
It is noted that the imposed sanctions are not effective enough. In addition, such restrictive measures can cause a negative reaction from the importing states and harm the United States itself, the document says.
The Congress explains this by the fact that many countries rely heavily on Russian weapons, so it will be difficult for them to abruptly abandon them.
Thus, the authors of the document call for identifying new methods of pressure on the defense industry complex, which will help isolate Russia.
