The West – indubitably – has lost Russia, and is losing Eurasia too, by Alastair Crooke

There is a possibility the West can transact with Eurasia to their mutual benefit. There is no possiblity that the West can dominate Eurasia. From Alastair Crooke at strategic-culture.su:

Is not President Putin’s purpose in visiting North Korea and Vietnam now clear in the context of the Eurasian security architecture project?

There perhaps was a momentary shrugging-off of slumber in Washington this week as they read the account of Sergei Lavrov’s démarche to the U.S. Ambassador in Moscow: Russia was telling the U.S. – “We are no longer at peace”!

Not just ‘no longer at peace’, Russia was holding the U.S. responsible for the ‘cluster strike’ on a Crimean beach on last Sunday’s Pentecost holiday, killing several (including children) and injuring many more. The U.S. thereby “became party” to the proxy war in Ukraine (it was an American-supplied ATACM; programmed by American specialists; and drawing on U.S. data), Russia’s statement read; “Retaliatory measures will certainly follow”.

Evidently, somewhere an amber light flashed hues of pink and red. The Pentagon grasped that something had happened – ‘No going around it; This could escalate badly’. The U.S. Defence Secretary (after a pause since March 2023) reached for the phone to call his Russian counterpart: ‘The U.S. regretted civilian deaths; the Ukrainians had full targeting discretion’.

The Russian public however, is plain furious.

The diplomatic argot of ‘there now being a state of betweenness; not war and not peace’ is but the ‘half of it’.

The West has ‘lost’ Russia much more profoundly than is understood.

President Putin – in his statement to the Foreign Ministry Board in wake of the G7 sword-rattling – detailed just how we had arrived at this pivotal juncture (of inevitable escalation). Putin indicated that the gravity of the situation demanded a ‘last chance’ offer to the West, one that Putin emphatically said was to be “No temporary ceasefire for Kiev to prepare a new offensive; nor a freezing the conflict – but rather, needed to be about the war’s final completion”.

    Be thankful Vlad is at the helm, Dmitry Medvedev and not the tennis player Daniil would blast some places right off the map and that is probably a feature to internal quisling traitors.

    Eurasia has billions while we have millions and here I thought they were extra most smartest, the enlightened ones here to save us from ourselves. (s/)

    Those big dumb Eurasian peoples (s/) kept their manufacturing and prepared for WAR.

    Will the managerials lose it all in their arrogance, hubris, ignorance, with minimal damage to the everyday people?
