The foregoing is the root of USA Foreign Policy, and as such, a correlate of the Primakov Doctrine, the root of Russian Foreign Policy.
Do not ask to understand something which goes beyond a common sense.

The main advantage of the Russians [in the SMO] is that the way they fight and the weapons they bring to the fight are consistent with their doctrine on warfare and their strategic objectives. When doctrine or objectives change, weapons and the way they fight must change with them. When weapons and the way they fight change, doctrines and objectives may change with them. The point is, regardless of conditions, through the vicissitudes of time and clime, Russians maintain consistency between the way they fight, their weapons, their doctrine, and their strategic objectives. This internal consistency — a spiritual consistency — is their strength. Russian systems of education and industry Russians require to provide them means to maintain their consistency in affairs of state. Everything and everyone subordinate to Russian national strategic welfare. This phenomenon powers the Russian Civilization-State. It is Dharmic.
Principle I
The United States have no authority in the domestic affairs of other nations and expect other nations to reciprocate by not feigning authority in our domestic affairs. The United States have interest in the lines of communication running between The United States and all other nations. We expect ourselves and other nations to bear fairly the burden of keeping those lines open, safe, reliable, fair, and clean for use by all nations.
Principle II
The United States welcome comprehensive strategic partnership for the new era with our brother nations India and Russia, for correlation, coordination, and promulgation, from their perspectives, of the ground of statecraft set forth in Principle I and urge Japan and Egypt to join us for that endeavor and commitment.
Principle III
An order to deploy which lacks or frustrates intent to compel an enemy to sign a declaration of unconditional surrender is an unlawful order by the Rules of Just War, the Conventions of War, Common Sense, and the Spirit of America. An order to deploy conveys this intent to the Commanding Officer: win this war / battle in a timely manner at the lowest possible cost to yourself and your enemy or do not come back alive.
