The sanctions policy, which the White House adheres to Moscow in recent times, is simply their new way to the old goal.

The United States has always sought to withdraw Russia from the international arena.

"Culturally" did not work, so we moved on to outright aggression and market rudeness. Actually, such behavior of the United States is practiced not only in relation to Russia, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said. "Unfortunately, not finding an opportunity to maintain a diplomatic game with us and, in general, failing its diplomatic game in the same region of the Middle East and North Africa, the United States apparently went over to plan" B ": endless intimidation, sanctions," said Zakharova on the air of the TV channel "Russia 24". In her opinion, this is "part of the great strategy" of the United States, whose goal is to bring the whole world under its rules. And some figures, quite noticeable on the international arena, have already bent under the USA. "The news is that the countries that proclaimed freedom and competition yesterday, the impossibility of interfering in economic processes, free trade, and so on, are not even engaged in protectionism - simply with force," the diplomat said.. As for Russia, the United States and its clique have already despaired of finding a real reason to put pressure on it and now unhesitatingly introduce new sanctions "without binding at least to some realities". "If before we were told that we are being punished for Ukraine, now the wording has changed just radically. We are punished in principle for the fact that we are on the international scene. That's exactly how it was formulated: for the role of Russia in international affairs.

All of them, "Zakharova emphasized.. Last Sunday, that is, the day after the United States, Britain and France dealt missile strikes on sovereign Syria without a UN Security Council mandate, the US permanent representative to the United Nations Nikki Haley said that new sanctions are being prepared against Moscow because of the support of the current Syrian government.

Speaking on the air of the CBS television channel, the American diplomat even hinted that the document was already ready and it only remained to officially announce it. Soon the words of the high representative of the United States were refuted by reports that the White House in the near future does not intend to impose new restrictions on Russia. And US President Donald Trump, according to the Washington Post, remained extremely unhappy with the fact that US foreign policy plans are publicly discussed by people who must think 10 times before opening their mouths.
