The U.S.- Russia relation is analyzed by looking through regional conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe and the ideology difference embed in the conflicts. Also, by identifying the probability of escalation to larger discords between the US and China, the relation between U.S.-China is expanded clearly.
