Russian-US Tensions Escalate Over ‘Satanic’ Europe: Plotting a Major Conflict?

The dream of a U.S.-Russia alignment is gaining traction, at least within Russian state media circles. This notion, once considered far-fetched, is now being openly discussed, fueled by perceived shifts in U.S. foreign policy and ongoing peace talks.

Vladimir Solovyov, a prominent state TV host, has notably shifted his tone. Previously critical of the U.S., he now suggests that a new alliance is on the horizon. This change in perspective seems to stem from governance statements that echo Russian rhetoric and the resumption of peace talks in Saudi Arabia on March 23rd.

Solovyov’s pronouncements have become increasingly bold.During his radio show *Full Contact* earlier this month, he declared, “The masks are off! We now see that Europe is behind this war. . . This is the center of liberal democracy .. . They are totally Satanic!” He envisions a future where the U.S., under a specific administration, confronts Europe, leading to meaningful geopolitical shifts. “I will watch Trump going to war with Europe — it will give me great pleasure,” he stated. Here is how it will go: the annexation of Greenland, the disintegration of NATO, the destruction of the European Union that Trump will no longer recognise, and the economic war between America and Europe.”

This vision extends to perhaps redirecting U.S. aid earmarked for Ukraine to Russia, solidifying a new alliance. Solovyov speculated, “Trump will say, ‘Why don’t we enter into a military-technical cooperation with Russia? Here is who the real enemies of America are: Satanic Europe and the European Union.’”

These themes have been further developed on Solovyov’s programs, suggesting joint action against Europe. Another episode of *The Evening With Vladimir Solovyov* pondered the impending “division of Europe” that Russia would facilitate, worrying only that Trump’s term isn’t long enough to get everything done that needed doing. Americanist Dmitry Drobnitsky agreed that Moscow needs more time, and Vice President JD Vance is russia’s golden ticket to continue its global expansion — provided he wins the presidential election in 2028.

The notion of a “horrific war” against democratic Europe, fought with advanced weapon systems, was also discussed on *Sunday Evening with Vladimir Solovyov*. solovyov urged Russia to prepare for this conflict,partly by strengthening its economy.This sentiment isn’t confined to television. Steve Rosenberg, a BBC Moscow Correspondent, noted in his March 24th Moscow press review that Russian newspapers are echoing similar themes.One paper claimed, “US and Russian officials have started speaking the same language,” while another suggested that a specific administration planned to become a joint economic owner of Ukraine and is “proposing that Russia becomes its associate and business partner.”

Henry Sardaryan, Dean of the School of Governance and Politics at the Moscow State Institute of International relations, highlighted the long-term positives for Russia if the U.S. abandons principles of international law. He stated that the U.S.is now willing to let the Kremlin enjoy the spoils of war, and noted, “Strategically, everything is going very well.”

Sardaryan also seized on Ambassador Steve Witkoff’s apparent willingness to recognize occupied Ukrainian regions as Russian, urging Moscow to claim Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, and other territories.solovyov suggested that referendums in these regions would satisfy a specific U.S. administration.

Sardaryan believes that US-Russian negotiations go beyond Ukraine, aiming to redefine the “European security architecture.” He pointed to the existence of seven right-wing governments in Europe that are “extremely positive” towards a specific U.S. leader and their agenda, and expressed a desire to increase that number to destabilize countries acting against Russia’s interests. Moscow should focus on fomenting “anti-war movements” across Europe, according to Sardaryan, that will block the roads and impede the functioning of freely elected parliaments.The U.S.,previously considered Russia’s main adversary,is now viewed through a different lens.This shift is reflected in past statements, such as Olga Skabeeva’s declaration in December 2021: “The United States has to sign off on the notion that its hegemony is over.” She added, “Russia is placing the United States in a no-win situation: either they retreat voluntarily, or we will force them to.”

This perceived shift in U.S. policy has fueled optimism within Russian state media, suggesting a potential realignment of global power dynamics.

To what extent are statements from US politicians influencing the narratives regarding a potential US-russia alignment promoted by Russian state media?

Is a New US-Russia Alignment on the Horizon? An Interview with Dr. anya Petrova

Welcome to Archyde News. Today, we delve into the intriguing shifts in geopolitical narratives, specifically the burgeoning idea of a US-Russia alignment, a concept seemingly gaining traction within Russian state media.To help us understand this developing situation, we have Dr. Anya Petrova, a leading expert in Russian Foreign Policy from the Institute for International Studies.

The Changing Tone in Moscow

Interviewer: Dr. Petrova, thank you for joining us. We’ve seen a noticeable shift in tone coming from Moscow, particularly concerning the United States. How would you characterize this change, and what’s driving it?

Dr. Petrova: Thank you for having me.The change is quite striking. Previously, the US was a frequent target of criticism. Now, various statements seem to suggest an openness to a potential partnership or alliance, driven by what’s perceived as a shift in US foreign policy.Statements and comments from figures like Vladimir Solovyov,a prominent figure in Russian state TV,are a prime example.

The Vision of a US-European Conflict

Interviewer: Solovyov, in particular, has made some rather bold pronouncements, envisioning a scenario where the U.S. might confront Europe. What’s the basis for this vision?

Dr. Petrova: The core of this vision appears to be a belief that a specific US governance may view Europe as an adversary, even going as far as an economic war. They hope this kind of conflict could reshape the geopolitical landscape to Russia’s benefit, including, perhaps, the absorption of Ukraine, due to some form of US support.

Possible Implications and Concerns

Interviewer: This is obviously a dramatic shift in perspective. Are there any concrete steps or events that are being cited to support this new alignment?

Dr. Petrova: There are several. Resumption of peace talks in Saudi Arabia, certain governance or recent statements, also comments regarding a specific US administration planning to be a joint economic owner of Ukraine and is “proposing that Russia becomes its associate and business partner”. Claims by sources such as Henry Sardaryan also signal some shifts in US perception.

The Role of US Internal Politics

Interviewer: How much is the current political landscape in the US, specifically the statements from high-profile politicians, influencing these narratives within Russian state media?

Dr. Petrova: The influence is significant. The perception of certain political statements that echo Russian talking points has greatly fueled this narrative. They’re clearly hoping for a particular outcome that could benefit their strategic goals.

conclusion

Interviewer: Dr. Petrova, this paints a complex picture. What challenges, if any, do you foresee in the future?

Dr. Petrova: The main challenge is understanding if this is truly a shift or a strategic play. If the US-Russian relations do indeed shift, other nations should brace themselves for a significant rearrangement of international law. It is key to find out whether these views accurately reflect the plans of a specific administration, or if it is wishful thinking. What do you think? Are we entering a new era of geopolitical alliances, or is this merely a temporary shift in rhetoric? we invite our readers to share their thoughts in the comments section below.
