Russia the big winner in Eurasia


It seems that after all the grandiose strategy designed by the behind the curtains strategist Zbigniew Brzezinski of the Obama administration to take over Eurasia and all its natural resorces, none of this has worked since the United States is entangled between all the fiasco that has been first of all the Af-Pak strategy, and then all the situation that is shaking the Middle East, focusing on Syria and Iran specifically, with no positive results at all. Meanwhile Russia is taking all the wins from this disastrous strategy, leveraging on its seemingly never ending gas and oil resources, despite many pessimistic forecasts by so called experts on russian oil reserves on the fact that in few years the main big fields of Russia (Samotlor aand Vankor for example) could be reaching their peaks, a thing that we are far away to prove for now. Russia is repositioning itself on the whole eurasian scenario, offering gas to all the central asian former soviet republics, which after flirting with Washington, they are realizing that they cant live without russian assistance and help (military, economics, etc), alongside the fact that together with te central asian republics, the baltics one and the caspian ones too, whether they accept it r not, they remain at the helm and the mercy of the Kremlin, GAZPROM, ROSNEFT, and the silovikys lead by Mr Putin. Not even the so called color revolutions worked in Ukraine, Georgia, Kirguiztan to change the prorussian direction those republics were taking designed by Washington. And as the corolary for this argument there is the Eurasian Union, proposed last year by Mr Putin, as a customs agreement to involve all these countries in the russian sphere of influence starting first as a customs bloc and then in the long term that could become an important geopolitical bloc alongside institutions like the Shanghai Organization, lead too by Russia. So my argument is that Russia so far is the big winner in the struggle to conquer and control Eurasia (meaning eurasian geopolitical space all that encompasses Central Asia, the Caspian, the Caucasus, Eastern Europe, the Middle East), mainly by its still standing huge energy resources.
