Russia Sees Multi-Polar World as It's Future -- Not Trump

[Magda Hassan]

It strikes me that Russia is at the moment organized around the eternal threat of war to benefit its nucleus. It is an internally neo-liberal economy as I see it.

Witness Russian oligarch, Roman Abramovich's yacht.



I am marginally in agreement with you but still not hopeful. The most dire threat comes from the result capitalism in its various forms driven by the logic to the endless accumulation of capital. The arctic sea ice reached lowest maximum in since the last great warming event, many millennia ago. The physics of the polar ice sheet point toward a catastrophic collapse perhaps this summer due to winds tearing it apart. This would be a blue water event leading to a dramatic arctic warming and sudden climate disruption.

Roman looks well equipped to handle rising seas...what ever happens.
