Moscow sees the move as a harbinger of what's to come: a return to multipolarity.In response to Trump's decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement The Kremlin expressed "deep concern" over the American decision and stressed the necessity to sustain the agreement.- since no Russian vital interests are at stake and some actual benefits emerge. Consider this: after America's abrupt exit,Uncertainty over tensionsIran was not benefiting economically from the JCPOA, but in these new circumstances, Europe can disregard American threats of imposing secondary sanctions andMoscow does not consider this an immediate threat. Trump would hardly risk starting another war in the Middle East - even if some in his administration see Iran as an easy target. A "Hit and Tweet Strategy" is more likely, but global and regional security implications would arrive after just one euphoric news cycle. Cornering Iran, while pleasing Israel and Saudi Arabia, would not help regional security - but at least war is not imminent.hoping that it resonates with Republicans and makes the president look strong.If this analysis is correct, Russia does not need to comment on the American departure from the JCPOA. Moscow would opt for maintaining the deal with Europe and China, letting Washington absorb the diplomatic fallout.But emotions in Moscow about Trump's move are riddled with fascination and curiosity. Observers find it puzzling, wondering how long international security will be a victim to American domestic politics. Many also wonder why the leader of the "free world" is permitted to behave like a cowboy.Moscow believes this order lost any moral legitimacy long ago. Now, the Kremlin is sitting back andwondering how the EU can maintain transatlantic solidarity in the face of an American betrayal. European threats to ostracize the United States, however, would likely amount to nothing.In the current diplomatic crisis, Russia sees what it had forecasting long ago:Russians believe that America has "normalized" and returned to its unilateral instincts. This belief implies that the United States is an unreliable negotiator - but Russians knew that long before.- even as Europeans fume at the United States for leaving the Iran deal, the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Paris Climate Agreement. Instead,regarding arms control regimes (including in cyber and space) and regional conflicts (primarily in Syria and Ukraine).If this the new normal for the United States, what is next for U.S. alliance politics? Since the 1953 Basic National Security Policy ( NSC 162/2 ), America's key foreign policy interest has been to maintain solidarity and share the burden of deterring the Soviet Union with Europe and Japan.- Germany, Great Britain, Japan and the United States - against the Soviets. In the last decade,It is good news for Russia, since no single threat that requires full mobilization of America's allies.Moscow was striving for multipolarity - and here it is. Every nation is on its own. This does not mean that the world has become a safer place.is program director of the Valdai Club Foundation and founder and head of the Foreign Policy Advisory Group.
