Interpolit — The New Silk Road marks the Atlantic sunset and the rise of Eurasia

Game-changer. Here's an excerpt.
This is not an exaggeration - the struggle between the Atlanticists and Eurasianists becomes the main feature of the coming decades: to stop the advance of global Anglo-Saxon project, it is necessary to not just assemble all the opponents, but also to build an alternative international architecture - from values to security, from finance to infrastructure and economy. The major world civilizations need to create their own project - the US version of globalization (the"free market" controlled by the Anglo-Saxon financial institutions under the supervision of the American aircraft carriers) will not go away on its own.
Geographically, the center of gravity of world politics has to move from the Atlantic and the West to Eurasia and the East. Instead of "the United States plus Europe and Japan" emerges a single Eurasian space - China with Southeast Asia, Russia with the Eurasian Union and the EU. India, the Middle East, and Africa gravitate towards that trio.
That is, everything revolves around the Eurasian arc - this is a nightmare of the Anglo-Saxon geopoliticians, always fearing the emergence of the axis of continental Europe - Russia - Asia in any shape: previously - Berlin-Moscow-Tokyo, and now - Berlin-Moscow-Beijing. Instead, the Anglo-Saxons have always tried to pit the various continental powers and attract separate powers, preferably located at key transit points of Eurasia, primarily in Europe.
The current attempt to break Russia's ties with Europe is aimed at preventing the potential union of Eurasian Russia, continental Europe and China - instead, the US is pushing the idea of the Trans-Atlantic partnership designed to provide a final attachment of Europe to North America (and in Asia promoting a similar Trans-Pacific partnership). For now losing the fight with the United States for Europe and turning to the East, Russia is not abandoning bets on Europe - just first it will collect the pieces of the Eastern section (Russia - China) of the "Triple Union", and China will work in the Western direction....

Washington is reaping what it has sowed. Will it recognize its errors and attempt a new strategy?
