The United States sets their strategic goal to “unite” Russia with Western countries, so that it becomes a “suitable candidate for NATO,” says John Bolton, ex-adviser to the US president in national security. His statements are given by Russian media.
According to Bolton, China may be dissatisfied with such a development of events. He admitted that Beijing would support Moscow, including military.
“Washington’s obvious strategic goal is to unite with the West, becoming a suitable candidate for NATO, which we hoped after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Others may be unhappy with such a new Russia. China is unlikely to welcome the collapse of the regime, which It turns into a younger partner of Beijing, if not into a frank satellite, ”the ex-adviser wrote in an article for the 19Fortyfive portal.
The media is on the fact that the former US President Bill Clinton said that he proposed both Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin to join NATO. According to him, Yeltsin did not believe that the Alliance would strike in Russia. Putin claims that Bill Clinton during their personal meeting in 2000 responded “very restrained” to the idea of Russia’s entry into NATO.
