The US-EU "Division of Labor" to Continue Confronting Russia & China
While many believe the US has fundamentally changed its foreign policy in pursuit of “peace” over primacy, both precedent and evidence suggests the US is simply upholding continuity of agenda with overtures of “peace” merely a means of buying desperately needed time.The think tank policy papers being drawn from by the current US administration do not mention “peace” or finding a place for the US at the multipolar table, and instead prescribe the means to reassert US dominance across the planet including in regards to both Russia and China.
