Power shifting from West to East
Russia can rise to power with the East. There is no reason for Russia to beg the West for acceptance.
 
West is “a declining corrupt entity mired in depression.”
 
The 21st century belongs to the East, to China and India. The enormous expanse of Russia sits above both of these most populous of all countries.
 
US government spares no efforts to prevent the rise of Russia”, adding that Washington “will hamper” Moscow “at every opportunity.
 
As long as Washington controls Europe, Russia has no prospects of being a part of the West, unless Russia becomes Washington’s puppet state, like Germany, Britain, and France.
 
Russia has the upper hand in the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, adding that the Russian military will not hesitate to “seize” Ukraine anytime it feels that Washington’s control of Ukraine... is an unacceptable strategic threat to Russia.”
 
Russian President Vladimir Putin can take the Ukraine back whenever he wants and turn his back on the West.
 
The United States and its Western allies accuse Russia of destabilizing Ukraine and have slapped a number of sanctions against Russian and pro-Russia figures.
 
Russia, however, rejects the accusation, saying the pro-Russia protests in Ukraine began spontaneously against the new government in Kiev.
