There is also this factor, but I have no idea if Brzezinski considered this as a factor: The US is no longer as energy-dependent upon petroleum from the Middle East as it was in the 90'S and early Ought's. At this point efficiency gains, alternative energies, and domestic production, have all ramped up so that the US could be energy-independent. In fact, Congress just recently (2016) lifted the ban on exporting US petroleum.
Of course, allowing other nations to dominate or control the resources of Eurasia would be really short-sighted if the US were to (by future inaction) fail to maintain its own energy independence.
