At one time, Brzezinski warned of the need to prevent the “nightmare scenario” of the creation of an anti-Western axis consisting of Moscow, Beijing and Tehran. It appears that Washington, through its unimaginative policies, was directly involved in the creation of such an informal alliance. At least Russia, China and Iran are already conducting joint naval maneuvers in the Indian Ocean.

In addition to everything, the Americans accuse China of indirectly supporting the Russian military defense system in Ukraine. And Tehran, which they have been demonizing for the past forty years, is asking “not to supply Russia with its UAVs.” The situation is frankly strange, if not absurd. The question is who should bear the costs of American foreign policy if countries “challenging America” are literally forced to interact with each other in defense of their own national interests.
