Russia and the United States are two major and influential countries in the political arena in the world. Recognized or not Russia is incarnate to be the counterpoint of the United States in every way. The United States in terms of political interests is much in jeopardy because of Russian interference.
In the second world war in fact these two countries are in a block of allied blocks. The end of the second world war where the Soviet Union and the United States tensions arise because of the same desire that the spread of influence. Soviet Union which is the embryo of Russia now not to be outdone by the United States, the Soviet Union affect some countries, especially the newly independent countries to use the ideology spread by the Soviet Union. The desire of the Soviet Union to become the most influential country is hampered by the competing United States. The United States was able to influence most European countries and the Soviet Union was only able to spread influence in Eastern Europe. The two countries are widening in Asia, Africa, and the Americas themselves.
The rivalry between these two countries is not only about ideological influence but it can be said of everything from the development of science, military weapons, and seeking allies. It can be argued that this competition was dimmed after the Soviet Union was destroyed and its territory divided into several countries spread across Europe and Asia.
Russia was once the capital of the Soviet Union transformed into a Soviet Union where many inherited technology and knowledge from the Soviet Union transformed into a new competitor of the United States. Russia continues to grow rapidly from slumping after the collapse of the Soviet Union into a developed country and a holder of a veto in the United Nations along with the United States.
These two countries compete in terms of technology and influence. Some things the United States is superior because the United States has many allies who are members of NATO. Russia has few allies after the collapse of the Soviet Union many of the former Soviet Union allies and incorporated in the Warsaw Pact have now become a neutral country and not much more inclined to the United States.
After the events of the Cold War have long stopped there was some world tension involving these two countries but as before there was no fight between these two countries but involving other countries.
This case can be seen in the battle of Syria. The United States that supports the Opposition continues to urge President Bashar Al Asad to step down by aiding the opposition in terms of weapons as well as military training. Russia, which still has an interest in the establishment of the Bashar Al Asad regime, wants Bashar to remain in power. Russia helps Syria in terms of weapons and also goes straight to combat ISIS and which opposition wants to subvert Bashar. The Americans also had time to come down directly to combat ISIS and help the Opposition in tearing down Bashar. Although these two countries are involved in the war but these two countries have never battled directly with the United States and Russia. Interesting indeed.
In the UN Assembly these two countries are also often opposed opinions mainly about Iran, Syria, Iraq, and some other problems. The United States as a world policeman sometimes acts outside of UN approval like the case of the Invasion of Iraq. Russia opposes US policy in the case of Iraq in the UN assembly.
Russian rivalry with the United States not only deals with politics but also military weapons. These two countries compete to become the most sophisticated military weapon producers in the world.
Other events that could become the heat of the world that mencaplokan Cramae from Ukraine conducted by Russia a few years ago could make the United States hot. The United States which is still part of NATO must act because Ukraine is also part of NATO. The United States and its allies hanay embargo Russia mainly on Russian products that should not be marketed to European countries and especially allies of the United States. The United States does not dare to attack Russia because Russia also has a nuclear that anytime can to destroy some countries joined in NATO and the United States itself. Russia does not remain silent, Russia replied embargo by several European countries and the United States by banning its citizens using products from Europe and the United States. Russia is aware that it has become an import destination country from Europe and the United States where its import value is very big in terms of food and beverages.
The existence of Russia into the world is not always in the United States grip. The United States has an arms embargo or something to make the country unable to buy products. The United States is not entirely weakened because Russia can become an alternative to military arms suppliers and other purposes so that the embargo will impress the United States itself which loses because many goods which should have been sold in the dinegar country to a halt while the embargoed country is getting closer to Russia as a rival to the United States. This has been done by Indonesia, when Indonesia conflict with the Dutch in West Irian. Indonesia wanted to buy some US weapons to expel the Netherlands but the United States at that time did not want to sell to Indonesia eventually Indonesia transferred to the Soviet Union so that Indonesia became superior in weaponry than the Netherlands which eventually gave Dutch West Irian to Indonesia. In addition, when Era Soharto was hit by an arms embargo which made military equipment lying and lacking maintenance where the embargo banned selling military parts and weapons to Indonesia. Indonesiapun closer to Russia and in the Era Megawati has been able to buy some Shukoi warplanes from Russia. When the embargo has been revoked, Indonesia still buys weapons from Russia and buys weapons from the United States so that if the Indonesian embargo is re-embargoed it is not paralyzed.
That is the competition of the United States and Russia which continue the competition of the United States with the Soviet Union. This competition is not necessarily bad for the good side, especially the arms race which resulted in the discovery of more sophisticated weapons as well as technological competition. In the case of the actual competition there is also competition, this competition can be used by other countries to strengthen their milter by buying weapons from the two countries and menjadil high bargaining rate when the country tried to spread the influence. It can also be a stepping stone when experiencing problems with either the United States or Russia where if you have problems with the United States can get closer to Russia and vice versa.
