  • The unipolar world, i.e. with one leading center of power (USA), is becoming a thing of the past. Mainly due to the growing power of China. However, Russia also has been implementing its plan to become one of the global poles of agency for over 20 years now. This strategy is defined by the Primakov Doctrine. Welcome to the next episode of The 20s Report.

      This is all a joke to the capitalists. Humans can't kill in order to create justice.
      The *legend* of God is that God will kill in order to create justice.
      Humans can kill in order to create injustice.
      This is all a joke to the capitalists because communist land has become a sort of biological Mecca and the US slaves are born Hoping to be Those Slaves who are the soldiers who try to steal the region from the leaders.
      Their savagery has made them more and more biologically thirsty to grab the land in the region

      Quite realistic and unbiased video. I can only add that Russia collaborated with Saudis using OPEC+ format not to raise oil prices, but to stabilize it at levels making US fracture shale oil mining non-profitable to kill it and stop US oil expansion to traditional Russian and Saudis markets. As a result US oil mining dropped significantly, so to stabilize situation US forced Saudis to decrease production, beacuse both of them are producing same oil brand, so they are direct competitors. US managed to grab a share of Saudis market making them very unhappy with it, and they was already unhappy with US slowly stealing their market share and being not so gentle with Middle East. In any case Saudis will loose market share anyway, and they knew it, so they have to focus on their own problems. In that case they are much more interested in region stability and more sovereignity and both of this can be achieved cooperating with Russia, or at least not fighting against it.

    The multipolar world was a concept of General De Gaulle 40 years earlier, at the height of the cold war. De Gaulle was thinking that the world will be more peaceful with 5 poles: USA, Europe, China, USSR, a 3rd world organization.

      ​@@cuddlemuffin.9545 You're pretty much wrong on everything you said. The China Russia relationships are now the best they ever were. Putin and Xi Jinping meet at least 5 times a year every year. There's an ongoing investment from Chinese into developing soon to be full year opened Northern Sea trade route. There's a ton of other partnerships on all levels, with primary being in energy. They both have interest in countries part of Belt and Road Initiative. They cooperate on most UN stances. And their stance against US is anything but paranoid. US openly states that it intends to stop China from becoming a superpower and is open about its ambition to form word spanning anti-chinese coalition. Japan is a common adversary for either of them. Russia and China continue to grow military partnership and increase military exercises that already happen many times per year.
      Chinese-Russian territorial disputes are a western meme that isn't talked about at the highest level of power in any capacity. And Chinese invasion of Siberia is pure propaganda that nobody serious thinks will ever happen. What's more likely to happen is that China will continue to improve relations and diplomatically persuades Russia to co-develop those lands.

And of course, Russia will not support China in its confrontation with India, because India is also an old friend since the Soviet era.

If we want to resolve issues on a planetary scale like climate change, pollution, migration, hunger, etc we need an organization that is significantly more influential than the UN.

    Indeed, the events after the Soviet Union collapse inspired analysis about Russia as a secondary player in the global world order. The Yeltsin government seemed to confirm this prediction. However, it is simply unthinkable to imagine that Russia would become a secondary player forever. The colossal geographic surface of the Russian State (although decreased to the territory of the former Federative Russian Republic of URSS), the natural resources of the country, and the weight of geopolitical mindset in the Russian history, would become impossible to think the perpetuation of this situation. Of course, the global projection of Russia today is a work of Putin and Putin Staff (including Primakov, Lavrov, and so forth). Nonetheless, this accomplishment is an evident example of the geopolitical capability of Russia as well as it expresses the resilience of socio-historical Russian ethos.

    It's not about whether we like it or not. The alliance of Russia with Central Asia, Turkey and Iran is necessary for the survival of all these countries. The process will be accelerated by the transfer of the capital, proposed by Shoigu (for example, to Ufa) and by the President of Russia with Turkic roots.

    It's difficult to agree with so much information presented, but it is a 90% agree. Not bad! The key part about what will happen in the future is at the end of the video. The US government is struggling not Russia, but many of its allies. This comes to a cost for the US also. Also, the US has big economic risks related to money printing. I think that the two opposite scenarios are the economic collapse of Russian allies that can delay the idea of a multipolar world (with some consensus mechanisms between them) ... or economic troubles in the US economy that could accelerate the need for better relations with the other major players. Now the US has big economic power and is able to impose hard sanctions on countries. Other key players are European countries, where the future of election results is not clear, and this could move the balance to one thing or another. Also, Latin America plays a role in this, and elected presidents are changing constantly between the ones pro multilateral world and pro unipolar world.

    Overall it’s a good analysis of the recent events of world politics and Russian in particular. However, it’s still biased and has some western clishes. 1. There is no Gerasimovv’s doctrine. In his article Gerasimov just described the approaches and tools in recent and existing conflicts, how conflicts of the close future will look like and what tools Russia should use to withstand these conflicts.
    2. By the beginning of 2000nds Russian political class clearly understood that the true intention of the US and allies towards Russia was to establish control over Russian resources, especially energy resources. And Russia decided not to sign energy treaty proposed and pushed by US and EU. The main purpose of the treaty was western investments into Russian energy sector in exchange to resources control. Since then Russia began to be pictured by the west as an enemy. Especially after 2007 Putin’s Munich speech.
    3. Only after that Russia started implementing Primakov’s concept of multipolar world seriously. And the first example of Russia’s seriousness was defence of South Ossetia from Georgian assault.
