The article is full of misleading information if you can call propaganda that. It assumes Russia is incapable of learning from the past. Today, it doesn't have to travel very far to learn from China to make economic progress: it's just next door. As for science and technology the Russians are a match for any European country. After all it was the first to put a man in space.
Your point of view and the conclusions about the weakness of Russia are not bullet proof. Today the Russian market is a very important one and the possibilities to develop business over there for Americans is huge. Europe is right now in a route of drastically deindustralization. Do not forget two very important things: (1) Russia is right now the number four largest economy in the World if we using as reference the GDP per capita adjusted to the purchasing power parity; (2) Today many relevant geopolitical observers assume that Russia is the more important military power of the world because they have weapons that do not exist in the United States and in the rest of the planet right now. So we have to be careful when we say that Russia is weak because that is not true. The weakness of Russia is more a desire than a factual reality.
What else can be expected of someone from the Atlantic Council, other than continuing denigration of Russia? He hasn't heard that Russia is now the 4 largest economy and is larger than Germany's.
What does Europe have now after the U.S. severed its allies from Russian energy supplies? Europe may be building up their military but they are doing so at the expense of their people. That hardly makes them look like a mighty group.
All this article is about is war and more war. That's all the Atlantic Council cares about. The Atlantic Council, and its fellow think tanks, should be designated as terrorist organizations.
Why is it that the US must choose between Europe or Russia? Russia was apparently no threat to anyone from the 90's to 2022, certainly not in terms of US planning. Given that it was during that period that Putin requested to join NATO, ddoesn't it seem either abysmally short-sighted of the US to refuse, or was it simply a deliberate choice to maintain a boogeyman for political expedience? 🤔 One supposes that the financial damage to the MIC that would have resulted from a true alliance with Russia was a driving factor.
This is a very well written piece. Thank you.
