Russian Security Council behind closed doors to President Putin presented their assessments and recommendations regarding the new US national security strategy.
The conclusions are as follows: Its all an anti Russian smear campaign, Russia's US strategy paid a lot of attention to this, but it can also be called "exit strategy."
Russian Security Council believes that the US National Security Strategy of February 2015 "is directed against Russia."
It 'also focus on continued US engagement with European allies for the purpose of political and economic isolation of Russia for its "interference in the affairs of Ukraine." President's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, in turn, said that "all threats to Russia's national security will be considered and dealt with, and, if necessary, be amended in the founding documents."
This is not a delayed reaction, as one would think in a temper.
The main innovation of the US strategy - moving large share of the responsibility for what is happening in the world on the shoulders of the Allies. It's a neat move, which is conveniently combined with the election campaign. Earlier.
Barack Obama has been criticized for the "old" strategy in 2010 from the right ( the conservative camp) and left.
Republicans have reproached the president for a serious reduction in the military budget, which could, in their view, lead to the loss of US leadership not only in the production of arms, but in some elements of the military strategy.
Obama's response was quite clever: he proposed to shift some of the costs of military allies, especially in Europe, and the pre-accusing them of "lack of contribution" to the overall defenses. The military budget remains at a reduced level, but a moral responsibility to the White House like as withdrawn.
