‘Isolation’ is Not Working: US Seeks Cooperation With Russia - German Media
US Secretary of State John Kerry touched base in Russia to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday. The surprising meeting demonstrates that Americans need collaboration with Russia and that the last can’t simply be detached from ‘enormous legislative issues’, DWN reported.
US Secretary of State John Kerry’s visit to Russia to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin ended up being an amazement for some, as it symbolizes a noteworthy turn in US-Russian tact, DWN reported.
Americans, who prior labelled Russia as a negligible “regional force,” appear to at last understand that major worldwide issues can’t be managed without Russia’s participation.
US State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said that the US Secretary of State came to the conclusion that it was important to talk with Vladimir Putin directly. Their discussions are expected to touch upon such issues as Syria and Iran as well as the conflict in Ukraine.The DWN also suggests that one of the main reasons for Kerry’s visit may be to discuss EU and NATO plans to launch military operations against Libya. Russia had initially announced its intention to veto this decision in the UN Security Council and Kerry may hope to persuade Putin to give up the idea, the article said.
So far, the US had tried to isolate Russia from world politics, but in fact it does not seem as simple as the US government imagined. Americans can no longer act alone in the global conflict situation and need cooperation with Russia, DWN wrote.
Harf said that she would not speak of a normalization of relations, as this is more applicable to longstanding conflict relations as between the US and Cuba. It seems rather like US administration is trying to present the situation in a way as if there had been no serious tensions between Moscow and Washington at all, the article said.

Russian-Chinese Drill in Mediterranean Sends Signal to US – Western Media
The Russian and Chinese navies began joint naval exercises in the Mediterranean Monday in the latest sign of strengthening ties between the two countries.
The naval drill, to include live-fire exercises in the strategic sea connecting Europe, Africa and the Middle East, is seen by Western media as a signal being sent to Washington of a powerful new alliance emerging “in the very backyard of Western Europe”.“While only two Chinese warships are joining the Mediterranean exercises, their deployment reflects China’s desire to help Russia counter American power”, the New York-based National Preview magazine wrote in a comment.
“The enmity that defined Sino-Russian relations during much of the Cold War has long faded. In its place, an evolving China–Russian alliance is rising against American and international security. This alliance has a profound security component”.
The import of the ten days of maneuvers that got underway Monday was not lost on The Los Angeles Times either.“The point is lost on no one: A powerful new alliance of eastern giants is flexing its muscles in the very backyard of Western Europe — much as China has done on its own in the Pacific”, the newspaper wrote on Monday.
The Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger wrote about the friendship between Moscow and Beijing going beyond purely political and economic considerations.
“They are forging an alliance also in the military field as a counterbalance to the US and its European and Asian allies”, the paper warned.
“Though small scale, it is a signal of growing defense ties between Beijing and Moscow and a demonstration that China’s maritime horizons are broadening”, the BBC said in a report Monday.
“What is going on in the Mediterranean is hard proof of military might aimed against Washington”, the German Der Spiegel wrote, adding that Russia and China were drawn together by the presence of a common enemy – the United States.
“The joint Russian-Chinese drill hints to Washington that a new rivalry is now in the making in the Mediterranean Sea”, the magazine wrote.
The Sea Coopeeration-2015 exercise will run until May 21. A total of nine ships from both sides are taking part in the first drill of its kind to happen in the Mediterranean.The drills’ goal has been stated as deepening friendly cooperation between China and Russia and strengthening their combat ability in repelling naval threats.

Pentagon: China Launches Mysterious Objects Into Space
A recent report released by the Department of Defense warns of China’s rapidly growing space program, insisting that many of Beijing’s space activities are aimed at countering the space capabilities of adversaries in the event of a crisis or conflict.
The annual DoD report to Congress, titled Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China, comes as some in the US Air Force are calling for a more robust defense of US space assets. The US has more than 500 satellites which, according to the USAF, are increasingly exposed to threats from China’s rapidly expanding space program and so-called “counterspace” technologies.
“China possesses the most rapidly maturing space program in the world,” the report said. It goes on to add that in parallel with the program, the country continues to “develop a variety of capabilities designed to limit or prevent the use of space-based assets by adversaries during a crisis of conflict, including the development of directed-energy weapons and satellite jammers.”
The news is likely to alarm Western countries, particularly the US, which relies heavily on communications and surveillance satellites to maintain an information edge over potential rivals. Beijing’s expanding space program and capabilities, according to the report, would undermine that advantage.
According to the report, a launch in July 2014 renewed concerns about China’s development of “destructive” space technologies. It noted that while the launch itself did not result in any damage or destruction, it had a “similar profile” to a January 2007 test in which a defunct weather satellite was deliberately destroyed, leaving hundreds of pieces of debris orbiting the Earth.
“The United States expressed concern that China’s continued development of destructive space technologies represented a threat to all peaceful space-faring nations, and was inconsistent with China’s public statements about the use of space for peaceful purposes.”
The report additionally details an incident in which China sent an unidentified object into space in May 2013.
“China launched an object into space on a ballistic trajectory with a peak altitude above 30,000km [18,641 miles],” it said. “The trajectory took it near geosynchronous orbit, where many nations maintain communications and earth-sensing satellites.”
“Analysis of the launch determined that the booster was not on the appropriate trajectory to place objects in orbit and that no new satellites were released,” the report added.
The mysterious object was in space for nine and a half hours before re-entering Earth and, while it has yet to be identified, the report goes on to suggest that the launch could have “been a test of technologies with a counterspace mission in geosynchronous orbit.”
Concerns about threats to US satellites have already prompted the Obama administration to propose an additional $5 billion in extra spending over the next five years to maintain the security of the country’s military and spy satellites.
“The US government is providing more details on Chinese counterspace activities than they have in the past,” Brian Weeden with the nonprofit Secure World Foundation said to Reuters. “The Pentagon is clearly increasingly alarmed about China’s growing space capabilities and counterspace capabilities.”
