Military-political Strategy of J. Biden’s Administration

Abstract

Currently, the military-political strategy of J. Biden’s administration is in the process of formation. The American ruling circles have to take into account unfavorable changes for the United States in the military- and political situation in the world. The American policy of “regime change” has suffered a complete collapse in Afghanistan; the United States is facing the strengthening of the military- and technical potential of the Russian Federation and China. Under these conditions, official Washington is betting on strengthening relations with partners and allies and is trying to abandon some of its international obligations (as, for example, it happened in Afghanistan). When developing its nuclear and space strategy, as well as military strategy in various regions of the world, the American military and political leadership is forced to proceed from the fact that Washington has lost its once indisputable military superiority in a number of areas. President Biden's actual rejection of the policy of promoting democracy in the world calls into question Washington's claims to leadership in the community of democratic states. At the same time, the priorities of the American ruling circles are clearly shifting in the direction of the Indo-Pacific region – while the Middle East is losing its former priority in their eyes.
