Very interesting article. I think the way RU survives, is that they must become an ally of China or USA. That will be the next future to watch. Russia would grow under a USA alliance against CH.

Russia is more likely to ally with China against the US than vice-versa

China and Russia are growing closer and it's a threat to American interests say defense and...
China and Russia are growing closer in an effort to offset America’s geopolitical sphere of influence. And it’s something to which defense and cybersecurity experts say Washington should pay attention.

LTC Eugene Chu agreed. Russia sees themselves as legitimate peer/rival/competitor to the US. In their hemisphere, they feel as they should be the center of gravity. (China feels the same way).
Post 9/11 provided the best possible scenario for Russia and the US to put aside a Cold War’s worth of traditional global power struggles. Rather, the past almost 20 years have only reset the competition and ratcheted up the drama in different and more dangerouss ways.
Simply, short of an Independence Day- type invasion, a genuine US/Russian alliance is hard to envision.

Agree, IMO that decision has been made. The fly in the ointment is our trade between nations could suffer depending on long term goals.

I think that Vladimir Putin has no interest whatsoever in alliances with the West. He is interested in influencing Western politics, but not interested in respecting Western societal values regarding freedom, individualism, and the social compact.

I agree....until China starts thinking about taking some of their land or timber forest.

Agree with you that Russia could be a major power but I am far less optimistic that it will ever happen given the Russian internal prejudices that always seem to get in the way of anything more than a superficial friendship or alliance..........they are almost as bad as the Nazi's when it comes to respecting diversity or other cultures.

Many countries in Asia and Africa are anti-diversity. Many tribes are anti any other tribes.
