⚡ALEKSANDR LUKASHENKO:

"Imagine what will happen to the Anglo-Saxon hegemony if all this vast space from Lisbon to Beijing is connected by a new Silk Road.

Imagine what will happen to the European Union, whose citizens will see that it is possible to develop and live in prosperity without trading their sovereignty, without betraying national interests, and without killing people.

No matter how much the Americans demand from their vassals, they take turns going to China to see Xi Jinping.

What does that say?

It shows that no matter how foolishly they act, they are still looking forward.

They understand that China is unstoppable, and much will depend on China in the future."

Tiopii:
You just want to argue with out listening to reason.

The neighbours of Russia are all running out of it's sphere of influence but you think you know Russia better than people who have witnessed them for hundred of years.

We would see what those countries seeking closer ties with Russia would gain, I didn't wish them bad, it's an objective statement.

The US is bad, they want to try Russia, fine. Let's see how it goes
Can you honestly beat your chest and say that NATO would exist in 50 years time? Or that the US would still exist as a single entity in 100 years?

But Russia would always be there, might be in a different form and name but it'll still be there as long as they continue assimilating smaller countries. It'll only keep getting bigger. Russia has existed for over 1000 years. How do you think that happened?

If you know the history of Eastern Europe you'll know that all those countries who are being used as pawns against Russia would still get conquered by Russia in the future, it's just a matter of time.

Once upon a time Poland and the Baltics, Scandinavian countries fell outside of Russia's sphere of influence. Then they got conquered by Russia again.. And on and on it goes.

“It can die and this depends only on our choices,” Macron said in a keynote speech, warning that Europe was “not armed against the risks we face” in a world where the “rules of the game have changed”.

“Over the next decade… the risk is immense of (Europe) being weakened or even relegated,” he said at the speech at the Sorbonne university in Paris, billed as the president’s vision for Europe’s future.

He urged Europe to emerge from a “strategic minority” that had left it over-dependent on Russia for energy and the United States for security.
