Why are Russia and the United States always confrontational?

Mondo International Updated on 2024-03-05

The confrontation between Russia and the United States is, in fact, a complex and long-standing historical issue. Relations between the two countries have been tense from the Soviet era to the current Russian period, and there are several factors behind this.

First, there are huge differences in ideology and national interests between the two countries. The United States is the representative of capitalism, and Russia is a staunch defender of socialism. This ideological antagonism led to a clear bloc confrontation between the two countries during the Cold War.

Secondly, geopolitical competition is also an important cause of confrontation. Both Russia and the United States are trying to expand their influence on a global scale, especially in Europe and the Middle East. This kind of contention is not only reflected in the deployment of military forces, but also involves economic, cultural and other aspects.

Moreover, the historical problems between the two countries are also factors that cannot be ignored leading to confrontation. For example, the reunification of Germany after World War II.

First, the changes in the geopolitical landscape after the collapse of the Soviet Union have left many unresolved issues, which have often become the fuse of tensions between the two countries.

So why does this confrontation persist forever? I think this is mainly because it is difficult to reconcile the differences in interests and perceptions between the two countries. At the same time, with the deepening of globalization and multipolarization, the competition and confrontation between the two countries have become more complex and intense.

To alleviate this confrontation, I believe that the two countries need to strengthen dialogue and communication, and seek common interests and space for cooperation. At the same time, we should respect each other's core interests and sovereignty and refrain from adopting an overly tough and aggressive foreign policy. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for mankind all over the world!
