📝Does Russia need the USA?📝

What is the reason for the US reluctance to apply pressure on so-called Ukraine? To answer this, we can rephrase the question slightly: did the US have any need to rush into this, and do they really need Russia so badly that they would help it in any way?

▪️For the sake of joint economic projects in the field of mineral extraction? They are a nice bonus, but not at a level worth changing everything for. Besides, the Americans have other, potentially even more profitable initiatives.

▪️For the sake of wanting to "divide the world," as during the Cold War? That sounds amusing given the ratio of economy sizes and the level of technological gap. And it's strange to aim for the world when they have problems with influence not just in the post-Soviet space, but even in Abkhazia.

▪️For the sake of "breaking away" from China? Unfortunately, Russia's significance for the Middle Kingdom is often greatly overestimated. Not to mention that in economics and even foreign policy, the US and China play on the same team far more often than one would like to believe (even on the issue of sanctions against Russia, yes).

The US had no reasons to actively interfere and help Russia. They did not bear direct costs from the war, they shifted financing of so-called Ukraine to Europe, so they could observe and wait while both sides exhausted their forces, after which they would solemnly "reconcile" them.

❗️The situation has changed somewhat now due to the global diesel shortage, but this effect is temporary. If we forget about this, we can misassess the outlook and again make a mistake with hopes for the "spirits of Anchorage."
