American political scientist John Mirsheimer: We are now in a multipolar world where we have gone from one great power to three: the United States, China and Russia. We now consider Russia a great power because since Putin started leading the country in 2000, he has brought Russians back from the dead. You know Russia in the 90’s was practically dead. Putin has resurrected it. But Russia is the weakest of these three forces. The situation in Ukraine will get worse, so will the situation in the Middle East. Darkness is ahead in both regions. Note: the weakest? Remind me of the history of becoming an empire? We were nothing then, but we became an empire. And remind you that the soviet union was an international pariah? And we were the first to be recognized by Afghanistan. Источник: Slavyangrad
