I agree with this article - mostly.

I wrote "mostly" because I don't agree with the strategy towards Russia underlined in this article.

Our Western strategy towards Russia in XXIth century is a new type of containment : our strategic goal is to help this Russia to become a Chinese province. In the same time to make a long term friendship and partnership alliance between the West and China.

It is the best way that everybody - including the Ethnic Russians - will be happy en peaceful.

The very short History of Russia - at best four Century - starting in 1703 really with one century of preparation - it's an history of colonization. The de-colonization of the World which has started in 1945 has not yet been done inside the Russian Federation but has been started within Soviet union.

The Russian citizens have proven during these four centuries that they are unable to develop and to maintain a reasonable democratic Republic society and state. It is due that in the XIXth century the Russian colonization has been done with a great majority of Russian peasants who were "serf" ( almost "slaves"). The Russian state is built one the model of "slave" state to the one who is in charge - like it was for their Tartar Master during few centuries. The fundamental concept of this type of state is that the private property is not really recognized - because everything belongs to the "tsar".



It has always been the tragedy of Russians - not be considered or to considered themselves as citizen - as free citizen. They are imperialist with a "slave mentality". They could live properly in their minds if they are "imperialist" meaning if they dominate other countries - even if themselves are not free citizens, but passive adorers of their "leader", dictator who needs himself to survive as dictator to organize wars against ennemies.



Of course for us in the Western world - in particular for the Ukrainians - but in many parts of the World, it seems totally absurd, ridiculous to think and to act like that in a totally open world - interconnected world.



Because we fail to realize that this open and interconnected World could stop to be open and to be interconnected.



It is easy to realize that when you read the Russian and European medias - most of them care about two things: the tourist travel visa and the Visa or Master Visa payments outside and even inside Russia. They are trying to re-assure themselves that these travels will stay in place , that nobody will change that - in Spain, in Italy, in Greece, etc . Same for business inside Russia for the German industries and other European banks.



But they are wrong. Step by step, the relations - including businesses , investments, finance of all types, tourism, etc - between this Russia and the rest the Western World will be stop in a very severe term. Of course Italians and Germans will resist during a period but they will have no choice because the security of Europe will be at stake and both Italy as Germany don't guaranty the security of Europe - at the opposite they are passive members of NATO.



If the West follows the strategy that I suggest, step by step to isolate totally Russia from the West and to force Russia to become de facto a Chinese province - it could take 30 to 70 years. Then the Russians will be happy and secure because they will feel part of a great Empire, with a long tradition of dictatorship - the Chinese One - they will go back to their roots - to be submissive to the Asian power.

The Ukrainians will be part of the European Union and Nato as it has been ignited in 2008 - and a new NATO will be created which will include China and the main Asian countries as Japan, Korea, Indonesia and probably India . It will be the new TransAltantic and Pacific Alliance.



EU and North America will have a new partnership with Africa and South Americas.



Then from the closing of an opening system - the one of now - in 50 to 100 years will appear a new open system when the population of the Earth will be at least around 10 to 14 billions and ethnic Russians less than 100 millions - when really nobody will care at all about them. The West will be around 1,5 billion and China , Africa, India around 2 to 3 billions.
