The U.S., Russia, and China, are the new power axis
By Matthew G. Andersson
It’s not easy to listen to Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov.
It’s not easy, because Lavrov has such poised, stable understanding of politics and international law. And he expressed this, not in his native Russian, but in English. He also displayed a level of respect for international power relations, and for America itself, that may leave many wondering which current government is more “American.”
As a Russian speaker, and someone who worked in Russia, this is not surprising: The Russian people admire America, and they generally love, and have always yearned for, all things American.
There’s no doubt that Russia’s current government puts Russia first. That is their job. That stands in glaring contrast to the Biden administration which puts America last.
Moreover, Russia pursues its interests in a framework of Realpolitik. That means with due regard for the realities of living functionally with China and the U.S.
That is the world’s new power axis.
