The American President Barack Obama, speaking May 22 before the graduates of the Military Academy at West Point, told what will be the new doctrine of national security, wrote on Sunday, The Washington Post. Fully national security strategy, as planned, will be unveiled within a week.
Overall, Obama has said that the U.S. cannot act on the
world stage in isolation and should be a multilateral approach to foreign
policy, strengthening existing alliances, and seeking new partners, as well as
promoting human rights around the world. According to the president, who leads
Associated Press, during the Second World War and during the Cold successes the
U.S. were there, as the country was not alone, and at the same time, objectivity
from the world community has never been to the States productive.
The Washington Post Analysts point out that, apparently, the
strategy Obama is diametrically opposed to the policy of his predecessor,
George Bush, who put in the first place was American interests, declaring
"the undisputed American internationalism."
By law, every American president must submit their own
national security strategy. Previous published in 2002, included the right to
start pre-emptive military action against countries and terrorist organizations
that threatened U.S. interests.
As for the Russian defense doctrine, accepted in February
2010, it provides the RF the right to use nuclear weapons in response to the
application against it or its allies, any weapons of mass obliteration, as well
as for the first time delivers for the right of Russia to use its armed forces
abroad to protect Russia's interests and its citizens, as well as for the
maintenance of international peace and security.
