Today, America is trying to rally a wide international coalition on the Iranian issue, to create a united front of the great powers that would harshly tell Iran that they are categorically against its nuclear program . The same coalition of the great powers should offer Iran serious bonuses, including leading positions in the new security system in the Middle East, if Iran refuses the enrichment of uranium. Accordingly, while America needs Russia. And, most likely, it will need Russia in the foreseeable future.
That is why at the recent hearing in Iran in the US Congress, such influential American experts as, say, Richard Haas, President of the Council on International Relations (the number one cerebral trust in the United States) suggested that America even make any concessions to Russia . Refuse the expansion of NATO, freeze a program of the pro, cancel the Jackson -Henik program as soon as possible, agree to Russia's entry into the WTO - if only Russia supported the United States for Iran and allow America to rally this coalition of the great powers.
America - both Bush and Obama - did not refuse the concept of balance of power, and therefore realism will remain one of the main directions of American foreign policy thought. Another thing is that in recent years there has been an increase in liberal schools. Neopensers, say, were one of the most extremist representatives of the liberal school. The liberals-internationalists who dominate the foreign policy environment of Obama also belong to the liberal paradigm. But at the same time, the problem of the balance of forces and the problem of relations with the great powers will remain one of the key tasks of American foreign policy. Actually, the maintenance of American hegemony in the world, maintaining the separation of American power from the power of other powers will remain the number one task for American foreign policy, and this is realism.
