President Barack Obama spoke about the new U.S. security strategy

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.
