Excellent video on why China's getting up close and personal with Russia and it's not just about oil. In hindsight, this clip indirectly relates to a "wonderful" BRT blurb titled The World Island, where historian Alford McKoy details not only the decline of US power in the 21st century but also about the visionary view regarding Eurasia and how it applies to The Great Game by Sir Halford Mackinder in 1905.
Now let's think about this. Starting in 1953 with the house arrest of Iran's democratically elected Mohammad Mosaddegh by the CIA in order for England to gain access to Iran's oil, US foreign policy has been a disaster, first culminating with the fubars of Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan and now Israel and Ukraine as Washington, thinking it's the center of the world and owned by the MIC, looks short term and financial gain at the expense of long term and world power. Will China succeed in taking over Siberia, well, not so fast as innate Russian distrust of China looms large while climate change promises to alter how the world functions without question.
