Moscow, Dec 26 : Russia on Tuesday accused the United States of slipping into the expansionist Cold War mentality, aimed at advancing American influence in the World.
“There are real economic interests and the same Cold War-era expansionist positions that did not change for decades behind the images of ‘aggressor states’ imposed by Washington,” Russia’s Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said in an interview with Russian weekly newspaper ‘Argumenty I Fakty’ (Arguments and Facts).
“The new American National Security Strategy calls Iran and North Korea ‘rogue regimes’, and Russia and China revisionist authoritarian states that challenge the US and strive to undermine its security,” Mr Patrushev said.
He also stressed that “advancing American influence in the world” and “preserving peace through strength” among the priorities of the US national security strategy set out in the document.
