Russia Creates New International Order, Reduce The U.S’ Clout – Maurizio Molinari

Russia has continued to create a new international order, and seeks to significantly reduce the United States’ clout, according to the Italian newspaper La Stampa. In an editorial in La Stampa, the newspaper’s chief editor Maurizio Molinari said that Russia’s policy on Ukraine, its actions in Syria and reconciliation with Turkey shows President Vladimir Putin’s determination to create a new international order and slash the clout of the United States. The article was published on August 14 and is titled “Big Putin’s Game: strategy on three fronts.”

“In Ukraine Putin wants to weaken Washington’s credibility as the guarantor of Eastern Europe, in Syria he relies on showing Russia’s greater combat capability to fight jihadists than a coalition of more than 60 countries led by US President Barack Obama, and in Turkey he seeks to prompt divisions in Ankara-NATO relations,” Mozinari said.
