Washington’s policy of sticking to the Cold War mentality aggravates global divisions

The Chinese “Global Times” Newspaper has stressed that the United States policy of sticking to the Cold War mentality has aggravated global divisions, pointing out that Washington portrays itself as a defender of human rights, while in fact it plays a major role in fomenting wars and chaos in many parts of the world.

 The newspaper clarified that the end of the Cold War brought the US unipolarity to its apex, also legitimizing its arrogance and prejudice. The country feels free to classify others into “democratic vs authoritarian.” In the decades since, the world has seen too much division and confrontation stoked by the US to keep “America First” evolving into humanitarian disasters. Countries have been forced to choose sides, being either “with us or against us,” as the Bush administration stated. 

 As for the situation in Ukraine, backed by the US, NATO conducted five rounds of eastward enlargement. Seeing its security space being encroached on inch by inch, Russia, or any other country, cannot but feel the threat of being cornered. In this sense, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a sad case of the Cold War mentality backfiring on the European continent.
