Biden: ‘The Challenges with Russia May Be Different than the Ones with China, But They’re Just as Real’

‘We cannot and must not return to the reflective opposition and rigid blocks of the cold war’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: “That’s why addressing recklessness — Russian recklessness and hacking into computer networks in the United States and across Europe and the world has become critical to protecting our collective security. The challenges with Russia may be different than the ones with China, but they’re just as real. It is not about pitting east against west. It’s not about we want a conflict. We want a future where all nations are able to freely determine their own path without a threat of violence or coercion. We cannot and must not return to the reflective opposition and rigid blocks of the Cold War. Competition must not lock out cooperation on issues that affect us all."
