Informative article, but the scale of influence of Russian resources has been completely blown out of proportion. It will impact us, and Europe, of course. But, Russia is not going to become the world’s economic superpower with the magic swoop of the hand anymore than Saudi Arabia.
Teaming up with America’s enemies and frenemies might do it - but there wouldn’t be much left of the world economy to enjoy it. I don’t think China and India are willing to make that trade over Ukraine.
Note* this article would’ve been more seriously considered without alluding to Zelinsky being elsewhere on “green screen”. I suppose that’s possible, but it reeks of bias.
Yep, a lot of people are still living in the 1980s. Russia is a shell of its former self. Its economy is the size of Australia’s.
Germany made a very bad decision to become dependent on Russian oil and gas. For every other major country trade with Russia is insignificant.
Who said Russia wants to dominate globally? It sure as hell can help China do it though.
