National Interest: USA it's time to say goodbye to impossible ideas
The US authorities time to soberly assess the foreign policy situation and to give up some unrealizable thoughts, says the Executive Director of the Washington Advisory Centre national interests Paul Saunders in publishing.
For such purposes, in the opinion of the analyst, are Fighting US With global warming, energy supplies to Ukraine and attempts at the same time to deal With a terrorist group " Islamic state " (IG) and remove from brand Board President of the Syrian Republic of Assad.
On the one hand, the majority of U.S. policy are aware That citizens are not willing to pay out of pocket for all foreign policy of the authorities, on the reverse side, officials have the opportunity to be " extremely irresponsible in their rhetoric, " emphasizes Paul Saunders.
" certain (policy - approx. Ed.) just don't understand the gap between their statements and reality, " writes political scientist.
So, Saunders believes That North America should export their energy resources in Ukraine, as in other countries, which are much more profitable markets For America, and not try to save Ukraine from the " gas dependence on Russia. Ukrainian officials for decades using their powers For personal gain, are left to Solve the problem of energy, and not to rely on the United States. U.S. exports of energy resources to Ukraine decides the main problem in the country is widespread corruption, emphasizes Saunders, and, conversely, increases the probability of casting a negative effect. As suggested by the scientist, Ukrainian officials, receiving support from North America, have the opportunity not want to carry out the necessary reforms and to seek to improve the investment climate.
With regard to the situation in the middle East, Washington, in the opinion of the analyst should be aware That at the same time to strive For victory over IG and the offset of the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is not only extremely difficult, but also unproductive. If Assad will otronen the performance of their duties and come To power militants, it increases the likelihood of bringing To catastrophic consequences: further strengthening terrorists IG and violent confrontations from the Syrian authorities, who will need to act illegally. Instead, says Saunders, the U.S. should first concentrate all efforts on defeating terrorists, and in the future to concentrate on solving the Syrian problem through diplomatic means.
Combating climate change from the U.S. also unsuccessful and unproductive, says Saunders. In order to reduce emissions, all countries in the world, and America, it will be necessary to reduce production volumes, Which will immediately cause a slowdown in economic increase and serious crisis. To solve the problem of climate change, America will not diplomacy, and development of technologies, he writes.
