Putin does not want peace: how to use Ukraine and with whom to be in alliance

Actually, the acceleration of processes is needed by both the US and China (more precisely, China has accepted the challenge) to try to overcome this weakness. And it can be overcome only in one way: creating larger economic alliances around you. The concept of both hegemons is fundamentally opposite: the United States offers friendship through preferential access to a global supermarket (its market).

China offers logistics and infrastructure investments in order to expand the market for its manufacturers. In general, both models are working, because they give the following to the elites of their allies (and not only) the preferences: so, what do we have "at the exit" now? First of all, it is necessary to say that the new model of the world is only created (and not the fact that will be created in a relatively short period of time).

Let me remind you that the main problem of this model is the weakness of hegemon. Secondly, now there is a "war" not for the third world, but for countries-regional leaders. The one who pulls on his side most of them will receive a time lag for his fortification. Let's remember that the smallest duties received, for example, Turkey and Egypt. And the logic here is not only on economic issues, but also on the security, the capacity of the armies and the ambitions of the countries themselves.

Third, and I will not tire of it to speak, a key "stress point" was Europe, which is the main thing in the sense that the one who receives it in the Allies will have significant economic benefits. That is why negotiations in the triangle of Ukraine-EU-EU are more important to us than Ukraine-SSI-Russian negotiations (especially since Russia, de facto, has emerged from these negotiations).

And, fourth, Russia's exit from negotiations opens up a window of opportunity for us in the sense that, for the first time in the last 80 years, large layers of European and American elites are beginning to (begin) to realize that Russia's very existence in its current format is a threat, especially if it is part of the Chinese world.
