The Yale article, even with all its "Russia experts," does not seem to examine the possibility of a new trading bloc emerging with Russia as an important participant.
Maybe Bert would care to opine as to why this possibility was omitted, at least from the youtube presentation.
I felt the article was permeated with "Hopium" that Russia and China would fail to find such common ground. They seemed to indicate China's economic relationship with the U.S. would preclude it; but there is that GIANT GLOBALIST LIE again: that countries with economic ties do not fight wars.
History shows that the opposite is true. Consider the massive economic ties between Germany and the rest of Europe before WWI and WWII.
