Sullivan: The era of American supremacy is over
The National Security Adviser of the White House acknowledged: “The era after the Cold War is over; The period of American supremacy from the 90s and early 2000s is over.
According to Isna, as it gets closer to January 20th, the day when the President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the country, more people from Biden’s cabinet started to defend his performance.
In this regard, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan discussed what he called “Biden’s correct decisions in the field of foreign policy” in an interview with the American publication “New York Times” and claimed: “Biden was successful in making big decisions. America is in a better position because we are no longer involved in a war in Afghanistan.”
Sullivan’s defense of Biden’s decision to withdraw from Afghanistan comes at a time when many criticize his decision and the scandalous withdrawal of America from Afghanistan.
In the continuation of his conversation, he acknowledged the end of the US-dominated system and said: “The era after the Cold War has ended; The period of American supremacy from the 90s and early 2000s is over. “Before the Biden administration took office, the era of American supremacy was over.”
Nevertheless, Sullivan claimed: “Our current alliances are stronger and our enemies are weaker.” “America is no longer at war, and the fundamental foundations of American power, our economy, our infrastructure, our innovation base, our defense industrial base, are much stronger than when we took office.”
America’s long-term competition against China
In response to a question about Trump’s policies against China, Biden’s national security adviser said: “I believe that his (Trump’s) policies against China are correct. America is in a fierce and long-term competition against China. China seeks to gain an advantage against the United States in the international structure. America must confront China, and Trump’s thinking about this is correct.”
He went on to criticize Trump’s lack of support for America’s allies against China and told the New York Times that he believed that not “recognizing” and ignoring the importance of the alliance against China was one of Trump’s wrong policies.
Sullivan claimed: “When the Biden administration took office, many said that China’s economy would become bigger than America’s and that Beijing would become the world leader in the field of artificial intelligence. But now, no one is talking about the Chinese economy becoming bigger than the US, and the US has the upper hand in artificial intelligence.”
The possibility of war between America and China
Biden’s national security adviser went on to discuss the possibility of a direct war between the United States and China over Taiwan and said: “China is engaged in the largest peacetime military buildup in human history. why It does not face any acute threat. “It has done this in no small part because it has publicly stated that at some point it wants to ensure that Taiwan is part of China.”
Sullivan’s attempt to accuse China of developing its military capability when it “faces no acute threat” comes at a time when Washington is equipping Taiwan with the most advanced military equipment and Beijing has always demanded that foreign countries not interfere in the Taiwan issue. .
In this regard, Biden’s national security advisor said in defense of the American policies to “defend Taiwan”: “The American policy towards China has been consistent for decades. This policy is to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and prevent conflict. Because that conflict will be completely disastrous. We must avoid war with China at any cost. We must Learn to coexist with China as a world power.”
He went on to talk about the war in Ukraine and despite Russia’s repeated advances in all fronts of Ukraine, he claimed: “Putin has failed to achieve all his strategic goals. They could not take Kiev. They could not destroy Ukraine. “They could not break NATO.”
Sullivan added: “So now the question is; How do we move towards a just and lasting peace that allows Ukraine to emerge as a free and independent country rooted in the West? I think the opportunity is there, and I think our job right now is to give Ukraine the leverage it needs to get a good deal at the negotiating table. That’s what we’re trying to do in our final days before handing over the administration to Trump.”
Zelensky’s demand to end the war
The National Security Adviser of the White House added: “Volodymyr Zelensky (President of Ukraine) has publicly said that this war should end with diplomacy. “He knows this and accepts the basic American proposition that our job is to put them in the best possible position on the battlefield so that they can be in the best possible position at the negotiating table.”
In response to a question about Washington’s leverage against Kiev, Sullivan said: “It is true, the United States supplies Ukraine with the weapons it needs, and we can say at any time that the weapons will continue to be sent only if certain conditions are met. But this action is wrong. America should not use such leverage. “Ukrainians must decide how to end the war.”
Defense of the Biden government against the crimes of the Zionist regime
In the continuation of his interview, the National Security Advisor of the White House discussed the Gaza war and without mentioning the crimes of the Zionist regime even before the start of the Al-Aqsa Storm operation, crimes such as the attack on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the massive arrest of Palestinians in the occupied territories, Hamas was the only cause of this bloody war. which led to the martyrdom of 47 thousand Palestinian civilians.
“This war started when Hamas decided to commit the biggest crime against the Jews since the Holocaust,” he said. Israel seeks to destroy Hamas so that this group cannot do such an act again.
In justifying the Zionist regime’s attacks on hospitals, mosques, churches and other civilian areas in Gaza, Sullivan claimed: “Hamas is using schools, mosques and hospitals for military purposes.”
This claim has been rejected by the United Nations, European countries and even some officials of the Zionist and American regimes.
Nevertheless, he claimed that the Biden administration has made “a lot of efforts” to prevent the killing of civilians and has been “successful” in doing so. According to the UN report, more than 70% of Gaza’s martyrs are women and children. According to the Zionist publication “Haaretz”, maybe only 10 of them are Hamas fighters out of every 200 martyrs, and the majority of the victims of the crimes of the Zionist regime are civilians and children.
Allegation against Iran and defense of arms support from Tel Aviv
Continuing his speech, Sullivan defended Biden’s decision to send weapons to the Zionist regime and said: “We cannot stop sending weapons to Israel. “They are fighting many of our enemies.”
He added: “We must adopt a policy to support Israel in defeating terrorists and deterring Iran, and we will continue with this policy.”
Sullivan claimed: “Iran is in its weakest position since the revolution in this country. But even a weakened Iran is still a serious threat. “Perhaps Iran will decide to become a nuclear country and we have to deal with it.”
This claim is made while Iran has always emphasized that its nuclear program is peaceful, and American officials and the International Atomic Energy Agency have acknowledged this issue.
ISIS, the biggest threat in Syria
Continuing his interview, Sullivan discussed the developments in Syria and said: “The fall of the Assad government has created a dangerous situation. It is possible that extremists and terrorism will spread in Syria, and we must deal with this danger in the coming months and even years.”
He added: “We must prevent the re-formation of ISIS in Syria.”
At the end of his interview, Sullivan said again emphasizing the change of the world order: “Many countries are looking for a change of the world order. China, Russia and Iran are changing the world order. The biggest goal of American foreign policy in such a sensitive situation should be not to enter into any kind of large-scale war.
