Россия в современном мире

Romney defended his statement in the media, saying that Russia consistently stands up for “the world’s worst actors”  and is constantly opposing the United States at the U.N.

“It is always Russia typically with China alongside and so in terms of a geopolitical foe, a nation that’s on the security council that has the heft of the security council and is of course a massive security power – Russia is the geopolitical foe and the idea that our president is planning on doing something with them that he’s not willing to tell the American people before the election is something that I find very, very alarming,” Romney told CNN.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called the relationship between the countries “complex,” reiterating the administration’s position that where the U.S. and Russia can work together they will, while also acknowledging disagreements. One of the biggest disputes remains the United States’ plans for developing a missile-defense system. The U.S. says the system is for protection only and is not a threat to Russia. The Kremlin wants a legal guarantee, meaning a treaty, that the system won’t be used specifically against Russia, something that would have virtually no chance of being ratified by Congress.

Secretary Clinton has said that while the U.S. is taking Russia’s concerns into consideration, the missile defense development will continue.

“We want to cooperate with Russia on missile defense. We think it is in everyone’s interest to do so,” said the Secretary. “But we will continue the work we are doing with NATO and we will be looking to complete that process in the years ahead.”

Despite Republicans’ claims that President Obama put U.S. national security in jeopardy with his hot mic moment telling President Medvedev that he will be able to negotiate the issue better after re-election, Pifer says the Kremlin was already in a “holding pattern” with officials privately saying they are not going to proceed with any serious negotiations until they know who will be the next U.S. president.

In the meantime, the United States will continue to work with Russia on issues like keeping Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon by abiding by the arms embargo, and finding a solution to the Syria conflict, says Pifer.

Pifer adds that labeling Russia as simply a foe or a friend of America, isn’t accurate. The truth is that the country is both, a much more nuanced answer, but one that “does not lend itself well to the kind of rhetoric used in a political campaign,” he says.

“That’s not just a criticism of Governor Romney, but of politics in general.”

Conclusion.

In conclusion, I want to say that as you see Russia in 90s and now are different level of countries. And Europe and all countries all other the world can see it,and I’m absolutely sure they don’t like it, because no one needs strong big Russia near them. They tried to  make Russia's raw-material appendage but they didn’t succeed in it. So, now they try to do many things to make us poorly, but we must not give up and be readily, we must remember who we are.

We must build real goals and  achieve them ,we should be ahead of others and help them, but not to give them the main thing- ourselves.

And as one of the Russian politicians Zhirinovsky said: ‘Here are the four forces in the world - West, South, East and Russia!’
