Many have been said to prove propaganda of this article. I must also add that German-Russian dirty collaboration do not started in 1939, but in 1920’s, and in 1930’s it was full speed joint development of military equipment fir both armies, especially equipment forbidden for use by Germany, so Russia do everything to make nazi-frankenstein alive and nearly ended its own country by collaborating with III Reich in shaking world order. So it is not only Latvian or Ukrainian case of supporting Nazis (not forget Russian collaborates under Wlasow). In fact only Poland do not have it’s own Nazi-allied army. After 1990 Eastern Europe has gone to the Western sphere of influence, because even once archenemy Germany became friendly to them nation (with own interests of curse). Now those countries fight with expansionist Berlin. This an example how nervous those countries are, because of history.
Russia also tries to shake world order, but same results here. Close relations with China and near vassalage meant that Russia have achieved strategic defeat. The best “circus” will be when western influence will not reach Eastern Europe. There will be Central Asia syndrome of fleeing under China aegis. In other world generally demilitarized European and Eastern European countries without NATO shield will militarize and will seek alliance with China. China now has started many projects aimed at European countries to bring them closer to China. This mean China will make their own rules in Eurasia. But still Europe (Russia included) will be taken anally and will end as Chine anus for their goods and will.

What I read it’s yet another propaganda. Sorry, but stating that from 1000 years there is constant treat from West to Russia is incorrect. But what to expect from Hezbollah fan. I must be said that ub case of Napoleon, WWI and WWII Russia was allied with UK. Without allied help Russia would not win WWII. Not mention that USSR collaborated with Nazi-Germany in term of developing military technology before war. Together they started (Ribbentrop-Molotov) II WW in Europe, collaborated in eliminations of once independent nations elites. And off course by this russian dirty game it itself ended nearly dead. So it’s not that Russia not stars wars, but end them –instead they started it with Hitler and not ended in Berlin, but war was ended only when Asia was liberated from Japans.

Today Russia goes same path that Hitler goes. Making many enemies few allies. And boasting of brutish army and trying to scare others like real thug is only giving opposite effects. If Russia glorify psycho-killer humans it is their end. It will end like in Finland in 1940 or in Afganistan in 1979. Robust hominids are the story of the past. People don’t want to be ruled by psycho shit, but by predictable ruler or hegemon. Nobody will join them, especially where there is Chinese alternative, who win nation exactly around Russia, Russia included. Look at Central Asia and see how such strategy ends. And not only there. That’s because they would like to have Chinese assistance, especially when China military doctrine don’t predict use of WMD against country without it. And the best part is that growing Chinese influence in Eastern Europe will really undermine Russian position there. So take a look at China who is going to shape world rules. They are minimalizing importance of military action and focus on economic growth, which they also share with others. And their diplomacy and even their propaganda is more like silk. This thinking, attitude and approach enabled China to make friends around the world. Even westerners acknowledge that China is becoming biggest superpower . And they join China in China led institutions, who in future will replace those west-led.

I few years, maybe more, there won’t be US hegemony. US neoconservative policy is bankrupted and it will change into isolationism and protectionism in near future. US will take Chinese lead as fact and defend their own sphere of influence or even be China cosest ally (without hegemonic interests in Asia it is possible). US Military will be more focused on own defence forces including determent ones, but probably will take Chinese lead as fact and defend their own sphere of influence.

Meanwhile China is seeking a way (a will do it even more rigorously) to revert legacy of Chinese Fall of Chinese Empire, which mean end the legacy of unequal treaties. So Russians will wake up in really hostile environment (not silly Eastern European militaries). How then they will make friends in world more tied with China, especially in West? Even if they would like to help, they won’t have resources to do that.

That’s why Russia headed toward Europe is lost, because it still present XIX century imperialism. This is dead-end, because future is not belonging to Atlantic powers, but to Pacific ones – one look at future GDP reveals where XXI century developed countries will be.
