CONTEMPORARY THREATS TO HUMANITY THAT DEMANDS RESET IN UNITED STATES-RUSSIA RELATIONS
The United States recognized the Russian Federation as the successor to the Soviet Union and established diplomatic relations on December 31, 1991. Since then, relations continue to exist until today, but fraught with challenges. Each blames the other of interference in internal political activities ranging from election interference, cyber security, regime change etc. These challenges continue to muddy relations between the two countries and provide no path to restoration. Rising global challenges are the reality that the world faces. To defeat this, there is the need for global cooperation. Over the years cooperation between the two countries has brought growth and stability. Thus, in the phase of these rising global challenges, this study examines contemporary relations between the United States-Russian and provides three reasons for the need to improve relations and concludes that departure from repairing relations may not only impact the two countries, but global security and stability.
