Виктория Нуланд, которая ныне занимает высокий (третий по рангу) пост в Госдепе, агитировала в 2020 за политику в отношении России, которая не давала бы Путину закуклиться и играть в «осажденную крепость». Похоже, что именно это Байден пытается осуществить.
Из статьи Нуланд в журнале “Foreign Affairs”:
“Whoever wins the U.S. presidential election this coming fall will-and should-try again with Putin. The first order of business, however, must be to mount a more unified and robust defense of U.S. and allied security interests wherever Moscow challenges them. From that position of strength, Washington and its allies can offer Moscow cooperation when it is possible. They should also resist Putin’s attempts to cut off his population from the outside world and speak directly to the Russian people about the benefits of working together and the price they have paid for Putin’s hard turn away from liberalism. The fatalists may prove right that little will change inside Russia. But U.S. interests will be better protected by an activist policy that couples a strong defense with an open hand if the relationship improves. Such an approach would increase the costs of Putin’s aggressive behavior, would keep democracies safer, and may even lead the Russian people to question their own fatalism about the prospects for a better future.”
