USA vs. Russia

As America pushes its influence deep into the former Soviet Union allies of Russia, Putin plans surprise counter offensives in Middle East, BRIC and South/Central America







America is pushing ahead with its latest move to overthrow Belarus'' regime, which U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called the last "dictatorship" in Europe. According to international think tanks and analysts U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's recent visit to Moscow and Vilnius, Lithuania, marks Washington's latest move to overthrow Belarus'' regime. This campaign is integral to the U.S. geopolitical offensive to reach deep into the former Soviet Union (FSU) and deprive Russia of its last real FSU ally. Russian President Vladimir Putin loathes Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko but supports him since, without Russia, Lukashenko -- and in turn Belarus -- would fall and Minsk would become anti-Russian. Putin and Lukashenko signed more than 10 agreements during the April 22 Russia-Belarus Union State summit, marking an immediate reaction to Washington's major push to split Belarus and Russia.

But Russian President Vladimir Putin is also ready with counter offensive strategies that may surprise Washington like never before. Putin, the shrewdest politician in the world at this time, plans to exert Russian influence in the Middle East. Russia has decided to protect Syria and start influencing Egypt. Common people in Egypt are pro-Russian though the current Mubarak’s dictatorial regime tries to side with the American policies.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will be the first leader from Moscow to visit the Middle East in 40 years when he arrives in Egypt for an official two-day state visit April 26 for talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. The two are expected to discuss the Middle East peace process, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria, as well as the reform of the United Nations. Putin will leave Egypt on April 27 for Israel and the Palestinian territories.

Putin also plans to hit Washington at the core of its Middle East support. He plans to bring Russia-Israel relationships at a new high.

Putin has brought up the coalition of powerful emerging future of the world – the BRIC alliance consisting of Brazil, Russia, India and China. This group of nations can provide a firm counter weight to American and European influences on the world.

The biggest push for Russia comes in South and Central America. Starting from Mexiaco to Chile, the nations are coming closer to Kremlin. Putin’s push for closer relations with India and China is remarkable. For the first time India, China and Russia are allies and represent the most powerful power block in the world.

Interesting post. This Russia-China-India alliance would be like the empires of Genghis Khan and Babur combined. Would the capital be in Lahore, Karakorum, or Beijing?

Russia and China are the main global powers at the moment which are able to resist the pressure from USrael if necessary.

Europe should break the US dominance with the help of Russia to get rid of the Neoliberal ideology which tortures the European mind. Russia should stay strong and independent, Europe needs it, though its system is far from perfect, unfortunately.

Vladimir Putin is the brightest leader of a large country in the world.

This is true. Countries like Brazil have already used their clout to challenge US economic hegemony on issues like prescription drugs. India is doing the same thing through sheer manpower and technical aptitude.

IMO a good long term goal for the world would be multiple centers of power: economic, labor, technical, military, media. Ultimately, multilateral local development is in the interest of all nationalists, because it discourages the free flow of international capital and labor and the cultural disturbance and destruction this causes. Cultural-nationalist ethnostates are equipped to repell imported labor and control corporate activity within its borders (and it would be best if all nations did this and imposed heavy embargoes on noncooperators), unlike market-oriented states (such as the US and EU tend to be).

The goal is wrestling power away from transnational corporations and international financiers, and putting it in the hands of culturally-defined sovereign national communities and regional blocs. In other words, geopolitical allegiances informed by primarily cultural ties and shared developmental goals rather than mere economic interests (plutocracy, as it has been called).

The danger to regional cultures is global centralization of different spheres of influence: for instance, a small number of financial capitals, small number of manufacturing areas, etc. This would lead in the long term to a global capitalist monoculture, controlled largely by international financiers. E.g., USA would be service sector, China would be manufacturing, Africa would be raw materials, manpower would be from Latin America and Southeast Asia and move wherever it is needed, etc. That is why international financiers hate local land redistribution, cultural nationalism (although multiculturalism within nations can be to their advantage since it is divisive), and symmetrical/decentralized development.
