The Washington Post On European Crisis and Euro

Over the last few years, the word collocation “European crisis” has turned into a set expression. It’s been almost 5 years since it began. Europe seems to have suffered most of all form the global crisis. 2 years ago a new wave of crisis broke out, thereby turning into a severe debt and banking crisis in the EU and the eurozone.

Even though everyone seems to get used to unexpected (sometimes shocking) and controversial news from the area, they are still worried about the destiny of the Old World? A complete downfall or a renaissance?

China is reporting about another epidemic of the so-called bird flu (also known as virus H7N9). It has already suspended the domestic poultry trade. Numerous markets are closed in Shanghai, Beijing and other big cities. Chinese bloggers keep posting shocking footage showing dead birds.

At the same time, top-ranking Chinese military officials put the blame on the USA. They say this is some kind of a secret biotechnological weapon developed and used by the Americans.

Russia takes urgent steps to prevent the epidemic from spreading over its territory. Russia’s chief medical officer urges people to abstain from visiting the neighboring Asian country. There are temporary limitations for those who arrive from China. Russia may eventually close the border with China until the situation stabilizes.

What is really happening in China? How dangerous is the current epidemic? Can the USA be involved?
Let’s try to answer these questions together…

The USA seems to threatening Russia not only with a shale revolution but also with a shale war. The North-American shale boom seen in the region over the last few years, has been treated as the end of Russia’s oil and gas industry. Everything started from shale gas, which allowed the USA to turn from an NG importer into a net exporter of this energy carrier.

Yet, US officials do not conceal the fact that they are going to use this trump card to free Europe from the dependence on Russian energy carriers. Now American observers and analysts are discussing the gloomy prospects of Russia’s export of energy carriers caused mainly by the shale boom in the USA and worldwide.

What is really happening inside the US shale industry? Is Russia’s export of energy carriers to Europe doomed? Let’s have a closer look at the situation.

Western mass media are actively discussing Russia’s external policies. There is a lot of information published on this topic recently. There are countless articles devoted to Putin and Russia.
If to try to sum up all the information on this topic, it turns out that there are 2 groups with different attitude towards Russia’s external policies.

The bigger group thinks that Russia’s external policies are unpredictable and may be dangerous to the West. Therefore, they urge Western politician to exert pressure on Moscow in effort to restrict its tough external policies.

The minor group views Russia as a potential partner, thereby calling its external policy rational and pragmatic.

The confrontation between the 2 groups can be considered on the example of an article written by Mark Adomanis and published by Forbes. It is called Is Vladimir Putin's Foreign Policy Unpopular? Not So Much.

These days it is difficult to surprise people. However, there are exceptions. In particular, Zbigniew Brzezinski, a Polish American political scientist, geostrategist and statesman, managed to surprise us.

Some 15 years ago, he used to diminish Russia’s role in the international arena, thereby calling it a defeated opponent of the West. This is not a long time in historical terms. However, Mr. Brzezinski seems to have changed his mind and attitude towards Russia and its geopolitical and economic role in the world.

In his recent book called “Strategic Vision: America and the Crisis of Global Power” (2012), Zbigniew Brzezinski ponders upon the ways of uniting Russia and the West. Moreover, he tries to prove the inevitability of this process. He assumes that the world’s center of gravity is shifting “from the West to the East.” Therefore, the West will have to unite with Russia in order to avoid global isolation.

The West may well avoid the destiny of the frontrunner. However, it is necessary to work out a new strategy. The new strategy should imply the plan aimed at integrating Russia and Turkey into the international system of the West. This sounds strange if to consider the fact that this was told by a Russophobe and a Pole. This looks like a major change in his views. What are the real reasons behind his sudden love for Russia?
