The very close relationship between Russia and China in terms of geopolitics and economics is now considered as a legitimate threat to the survival of the Eurozone.
Call it “shooting on the foot”, the EU sanctions against Russia, which drive the latter closer to China, have backfired and the pain would be felt for years to come as the BRICS countries exercise their inherent rights to a bigger say on world affairs.
It is time for the West to take the cue from the East, or it can keep feeding the delusion of self-importance and the saber rattling even when nobody’s taking notice anymore.
The reelections of Bibi Netanyahu and Cameron are both signs that the West is not ready for meaningful change anytime soon. In fact, it would not surprise us if the likes of Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush would be sitting in the White House, next year or so.
However, we love to impressed by and be proven wrong.
