  • Introduction

    Russia-United States relations

    Russia-United States relations
    Credits:
  • For over 200 years, Russia and the US shared multifaceted diplomatic relations.

    After the Cold War and Soviet Union's breakup (1991), the ties took on a new dimension.

    The relationships were warm during the 1990s but reportedly deteriorated later.

    The relations were strained during the Ukraine Crisis, Annexation of Crimea, and in 2015 due to differences over Russia's interference in the Syrian Civil War.

  • Key Ally

    Russia, Syria's key ally

    Russia, Syria's key ally
  • Russia provided financial, military and political support to the Syrian Government since 2011.

    Russia launched an air strike in Sep'15 to stabilize the country's government; it targeted terrorists who became active during the conflict.

    For Russia, which has been away from the world stage for a time, to consolidate its position (in Syria) nearer home would help restore part of its previous global role.

  • Syrian Issue

    Bilateral negotiations over Syria

    Bilateral negotiations over Syria
  • In Sep'15, Russia had reportedly invited the US to join the Iraqi-based information center established by Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Russia to coordinate their efforts in Syria and normalize the war-torn country, but the US refused.

    The US termed Russia's military activities in Syria "a recipe for disaster".

    In Oct'16, suspending bilateral negotiations over Syria, the US called Russia-Syria's joint operation in Aleppo "offensive".

    The US accuses Russia of barbarism

    The US accuses Russia of barbarism
    Credits:
  • During an emergency meeting, the US ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power alleged that Russia told outright lies to the UN Security Council about its conduct in Syria.

    She accused Russian and Syrian forces of barbarism over the bombing in Syria's Aleppo City.

    However, Russia and Syria stated they were trying to attack terrorists while harming as few citizens as possible.

  • Conflict?

    On the brink of a conflict

    On the brink of a conflict
  • The end of the Cold War in 1973 was supposed to mark the beginning of a new era.

    Russia and the US are now on the brink of a conflict over Syria, but war isn't beneficial to either.

    They have an important role in the settlement of the Syrian issue; but without basic trust and understanding, the dialogue would be laid on shaky foundations.

  • Fault?

    Where did it all go wrong?

    Where did it all go wrong?
    Credits:
  • Russia and the US aren't able to forge a different relationship.

    Former CIA Officer and Centre for Security Studies at Georgetown University's Senior Fellow Paul R Pillar said the primary fault lies with the US.

    The US didn't welcome Russia as a new country but rather a successor of the USSR.

    Hence, Russia inherited the status "as the principal focus of Western distrust."

  • Information

    The "original sin"

  • Pillar said the US' enthusiasm for NATO expansion and taking in countries that had once struggled against Moscow's rule or that had once been a part of the USSR like Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic compounded the "original sin".

  • Future

    Future of the bilateral ties

    Future of the bilateral ties
    Credits:
  • Russia believes the US has treated it unfairly after the Cold War episode.

    Observers say the US had not paid enough attention to building strong and right strategic relations with Russia in the recent period.

    The future of the bilateral ties depends on who becomes the next US President and whether he/she intends to "reset" the relationships and give them a new shape.

    Trump's office stated that Putin had called to congratulate Trump.

  • The Obama administration is set to announce a slew of retaliatory measures against Russia's alleged involvement in tampering with the US elections.

    Sources said the measures that are to be announced include economic sanctions, diplomatic censure and covert action, which could include cyber attacks.

    The US also believes that the Clinton email-scandal was timed to ensure that Trump makes it to the oval office.
