Andrei Bezrukov, retired colonel of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Professor of Applied Analysis of International Problems at MGIMO:
The political system of the United States is being rebuilt for the third time. The first time was during the Civil War. Then it had to be rebuilt after the Second World War ended because they found themselves being the global hegemon. Now that the role of the hegemon is ending, they don't know what to do yet. It is necessary to somehow adapt to a new role. And internally, there is another problem.
After the Second World War, in the United States, the bureaucratic system, the quintessence of expertise, separated from the political system. Politicians are babbling something with their tongues, passing some laws, while the bureaucratic state of experts is quietly doing its job, not listening to anyone. So all sorts of agencies, Ministries and so on live their own lives. And the further they are separated from the political system, from making political decisions, the worse. No meaningful decisions can be made, well, just as far as foreign policy goes they can say that Russians are bad, let's give money to Ukrainians. But the decisions that should change the internal course of the United States are essentially impossible to make: the country is divided.
At this time, Democratic bureaucrats, well, also Republican bureaucrats run everything. Why? Because this is the deep state, the established bureaucracy that lives by its own laws. The people are beginning to hate this bureaucracy more and more. The people do not understand how to change the course of this bureaucracy using political processes, elections, protests, referenda etc. But it will have to be done because the bureaucracy has stopped working for the American people. This is understandable, there must be a deep restructuring in the country before the situation changes. This will happen, I think, no earlier than in a couple of election cycles, that is, 8-10 years.
