She expressed this opinion following the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the SCO summit in Samarkand.
“If individually these countries, considered by the Pentagon as America’s closest competitors, pose a huge threat to the United States, then their alliance only increases this danger,” Koffler said.
According to a former Pentagon employee, Moscow and Beijing are aimed at weakening the role of Washington on the world stage.
In addition, Koffler drew attention to "a shift in the center of gravity in international trade and investment in Asia, which contributes to strengthening the alliance between Moscow and Beijing."
Earlier, an aide to the Russian leader, Yuri Ushakov, said that the atmosphere at the talks between Putin and Xi Jinping was good.
