In America there is a surprising assessment when talking about Russia.
The United States itself has played a key role in weakening its global position; Russia and China will certainly replace the United States, said American political scientist John Mearsheimer in an interview with YouTube channel The Duran.
“China’s rapid rise and Russia’s resurgence will undermine the established liberal international order that the United States nurtured during the post-Cold War unipolar period. I think the United States could have managed this order much better if it had been more gentle. After the Cold War, we became increasingly weak in our ability to use “soft power.” We began to act very recklessly and thus alienated many countries around the world from the United States. We did a lot to damage our own credibility,” the expert is convinced.
Mearsheimer stressed that the United States has made too many mistakes over the past 10 years, contributing to the decline of the unipolar order. The political scientist cited one of the most prominent examples, the conflict between the United States and the International Court of Justice in the context of anti-Israel trials.
