The discussion of the manifestations of the Russian-American conflict, and a deep dive into the extent of the Russian and American bipolar partnership, is governed by the common files between the two countries, as well as the nature of the internal changes for both sides, so the change that occurred to the United States with the arrival of Donald Trump to the White House imposes his fingerprints in foreign policy, especially since Washington It took a different approach in its international dealings, basing it on the Trump “America first” principle, and in implementation of that principle, Trump proceeded to reformulate international treaties and agreements anew, without referring to allies or thinking about the impact of his new decisions on their situation, or on the disagreements that It might talk with other countries, or it could turn it into a fuse for future conflicts in the world. Hence, this principle explains what happened with regard to the escalation of US differences with the allies, whether from the Europeans, or the allies in Central Asia and Central America, in addition to the international players such as Russia and China.

On the Russian side, Russia is moving forward in its attempt to advance its regional and international role, and it is basing most of its foreign policies on the “Medvedev principle” in relation to the former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev 2008-2012, which included Russia’s recognition of the priority of the basic principles of international law that determine relations between peoples. Civilized, that Russia adopts its relations with other countries within the framework of these principles, in addition to the Russian vision that revolves around a multi-polar world, as a unipolar world is unacceptable, and absolute domination is something that cannot be allowed. Russia cannot accept a world order in which all decisions will be taken by one country, such as the United States.

In this sense, and in sympathy with the size of the risks and challenges that frame the political and military rams’ situation and their complex addresses, it was necessary to put in place a participatory mechanism that keeps Moscow and Washington in a state of permanent coordination for most regional and international files, without that, the world will be unstable and threatened by conflicts, just as Russia does not want A confrontation with another country, and Russia has no intention of isolating itself. Rather, it seeks to establish friendly relations with Europe, the United States, and the largest possible number of other countries. Accordingly, the Russian rise at all levels made the matter difficult for the United States, and it was necessary for Washington to search for strategic keys that would banish the specter of direct confrontations between the two nuclear powers, while keeping many regional and international theaters under intensive care to prevent them from exploding at a time that Moscow does not satisfy. Washington cannot bear its repercussions.

The fact of the matter is that the controversial issues between Washington and Moscow do not seem to be the object of a real conflict between the two superpowers, and based on that, the real size of any dispute, no matter how intractable it seems, is on the path of resolution, but in the depth, the doors closed due to regional and international differences and disparities, but rather open automatically. Between the two strategic opponents, and this is what the two sides naturally strive for, given that they are the two most prominent countries in bearing responsibility for the fate of the world. Russia realizes that most of the international and regional issues that Washington takes as a starting point for its orientations cannot and should not reach the level of strategic threats to Moscow, as the expansion of the Atlantic is essentially a European issue, and the Caucasus crises is a matter of competition with Turkey, especially since Recep Tayyip Erdogan has explicitly called for Crimea ; As well as the illnesses of the situation in Central Asia, which Turkish and Iranian political Islam is participating in.

Russian officials are aware of these facts, and they also realize that the United States views these issues according to the perspective of partnership with Russia, but there is no harm in the partial complication of the differences, which can be easily repaired after any contact or discussion between the two countries.

The developments that followed Joe Biden’s victory, and what this matter raised in terms of fears, concerns and perhaps challenges impose a different pattern in reading the American scene, but the Russian calm in reading this scene, found in delaying the Russian congratulations to Biden a way to draw a panoramic scene based on the foundations of dealing between the two countries, As the transfer of power was smooth and on time, despite the attempted coup by attacking the Capitol, this matter was at the core of the deliberations of Russian officials, who are aware that the American democratic system will come out solidly from this experience, while European analysts and others in the region were predicting in Hoping for the collapse of this system and the fragmentation of the states through a devastating civil war.

Donald Trump’s stage is over, and the man has left a legacy that will not be easy to erase, but some parts of these policies that Trump followed will be built upon. If Trump’s decisions to leave the climate conference and the World Health Organization are canceled, and America will return to its normal relations with allies, and to fruitful communication with Russia, its “partner opponent”, in the words of the new administration. It seems that the news that came after the phone call between Putin and Biden, which centered on extending the START missile treaty, is at the core of the rivalry framed by a strategic partnership between Moscow and Washington.

On a parallel side, the Middle East in particular will be a real test for the relationship of the two opponents and the two partners. While Russia was looking for justifications to calm the Iranian file, America “Trump” maneuvered in a manner identical to the Russian attempts, and the same stance towards Turkey. Putin and Trump were able in a different way. Directly from putting Erdogan on the waiting shelf, dropping him to tickle some of his ambitions, whether in Syria, Libya or the Caucasus, and then freezing it and returning it to its place on the shelf, while in the Syrian arena, Moscow and Washington are aware of the limits of rapprochement and the limits of engagement, and in the same context, the Syrian file will fold its pages With a purely Russian-American direction, and in the Palestinian issue, Moscow maintains friendly relations with the Palestinians and the Israelis, which would establish a balance in any search for future solutions that go beyond the Palestinian issue to the Syrian issue, as it has become necessary for Russia, America and Israel to find a way out that spares everyone. An unexpected explosion.

All of this is the foundation of a policy that the Biden administration cannot deviate from, and it provides a basis for joint action in which Russia is supposed to actively engage, for this is its role, and it is what the peoples of the region expect from it.

Therefore, Russia is not far from the region, and this did not and will not bother the Americans, and in some cases it comes after Russian-American coordination on the principle of exchanging roles and participating in drawing long-term strategies.

In conclusion, the Russian Foreign Ministry presented at the end of 2020 an inventory of Russian activity at the international level, and whoever reviews this inventory immediately discovers that Moscow has engineered its moves after secret consultations with Washington, as the two sides cannot leave the strategic coordination framework, especially in arenas like Syria. And Libya, and today there are opportunities for its entrance into the Middle East, and these opportunities will not be accessed without cooperation between the two major countries, which is cooperation that can extend to other points and pull international relations out of the trenches of real, sometimes, and often artificial, confrontations.
