Unlike the cold-war days, when the USSR was attributed by the west with a globalist agenda (rightly or wrongly), Russia appeared to simply want the U.S. to stay out of its backyard. Which the elite hegemonic globalists were clearly unwilling to do.
The United States' drang nach osten is unstoppable.
Under Obama, as under Clinton - remember Directive 13? - we should fully anticipate a swift and considerable upsurge in CIA-orchestrated "colour revolutions," widespread civil unrest in Europe (almost certainly providing pretext for military interventions in the southern rim) and the Eurasian heartland, an attempt to revive the anti-Moscow right in Germany ("Conjuring Hitler" revisited), a massive increase in US military and paramilitary intervention in mineral-rich African states, the Balkanization of South American states deemed hostile, and the intensification of the strategy of "double encirclement" targeting the giants of the SCO, Russia and China. (The latter seems certain to be the particular focus of CIA- & Pentagon-organised "civil unrest.") To that end, India, with hefty prodding from Washington & London, will launch an all-out attack on Pakistan.
The trouble is that the American elite is conscienceless, pitiless, unaccountable, homogenous, and utterly self-centred. The portents are truly dire.
Is there a grand weakness in the US strategy? I think there is. In crashing its own economy, with the obvious intention of destroying that of both actual and theoretical challengers to its hegemony, the US elite proceeds from the blithe confidence that history will repeat itself a la post-WWII; and that US economic resourcefulness will simply - spontaneously - reassert itself. I don't believe it can or will. I think the likely conclusion is overt military rule in Washington itself.
