The relationship between Russia and the United States after 1991 could have developed like US relations with Germany and Japan after the Second World War, with Washington embracing a former enemy as a new ally. Instead, the general tendency in Washington has been to assume that the 'lone superpower' has the right and the ability to dictate policy to the rest of the world. The tension in US-Russian relations today stems largely from the inability, or refusal, of American policy-makers to respect the proper limits of US power. American leaders either do not understand or are unwilling to respect Russia's legitimate interests on the Eurasian continent. There is little that Moscow can do now about US meddling in conflicts near Russia's borders, but in the future it could lead to a new East-West confrontation. Such a future could be avoided by a more careful US approach to regional problems around Russia
