A lot of bunk in this article, but this one is a doozy.

The article is a bunch of counter-intuitive horse manure.

Absolutely soon to be replaced. This writing is devoid of info about the many countries working to topple the dollar, lining up to join BRICS and SCO, and instead demonizes Putin yet again.
Anyone in doubt has only to read Pepe Escobar.

Love Pepe Escobar and reading and listening to his stuff.

What is basically going to occur is you will the West verses a BRIC+ Global South.

A West that is decrepit verses a Global South that is steadily growing economically, etc.

It is unipolar, absolutely. And china is the one with the lock on the pole.

Agree, Saudi Arabia no longer answers to us. The world is VERY QUICKLY changing, thanks to the Neocons.

I think this article drives hard at the fundamental pathology distracting too many freepers.

What seems to happen is that when Democrats are elected President, we are somehow obligated to cheer for our international enemies: China, Russia, Iran.

That is completely pathological.

Neither China or Russia or their combination comes close to equalling US power. It is terrible that Biden is president but it never justifies cheering for our enemies.

Could you please elaborate more on that? A one sentence dismissal doesn’t help one’s understanding

All points are drivels incompetents in charge of Biden admit want people to believe even though the conventional wisdom says otherwise.

First, what is wrong with Putin’s statement?

Second, the European choice of security over prosperity is a wishful thinking. The leaders are making appearance of it, the people not so much.

Third, the US-Chinese relations are evaluated contrary to what is going on.

If I remember correctly, Pepe Escobar writes regularly for Russia’s RT News.

I also remember Escobar suggesting dividing Ukraine between Poland and Russia.

RE: First, what is wrong with Putin’s statement?

Well, as I read the first paragraph, I don’t think the author is really saying that Putin is wrong, only that his statement needs further clarification as to WHY it is what it is.

Get more objective ‘truth’ out of the RT than the vast majority of the Western/US/UK/EU/NATO propaganda ridden media.

Your point?

The rest of the article are basically excuses for something the author suggests as something that didn’t happen.:)

I really doubt it. We are a paper tiger.

Friedman is locked into the idea that we are more powerful than other countries.

That could be true. Pit us against the coalition that could form against us, and it may not be.

RE: Your point?

My point is it depends on which source you want to trust. If you want to believe Russian sources, knock yourself out. I’m not one of those who do and treat RT information with caution

RE: Pit us against the coalition that could form against us, and it may not be.

And what about pitting that coalition ( what ever it is ) with those that WILL coalesce with us?
