The last century and all previous centuries showed us alliances with one leader, now it is the time when there should be at least three or five leaders and intermediaries for other countries at the same time.
Participation in this club is not a gift, it is the responsibility and additional obligations of the country to the entire planet.
Now in the world there are some informal brain centers in the form of clubs and associations of industrialists, bankers, and their invited scholars. And we have reached the time to create a formal global think tank. It will differ from the UN, the club of Rome or Bilderberg.
We have no shortage of money, technology or power. We have a deficit of the General ideas that are the real power as such.
Peoples are not united by people but by ideas.
In Europe the future mediator is Russia, certainly, in cooperation with the old European world, because only we have the area of the new development of the actual century and geographically our country lies between Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Only the union of forces can create a global balance of interests. In the Middle East, it is Turkey, which can become a part of Europe.
Each merging party needs to think about common goals. And for this they must be determined. Instead, politicians are engaged in pulling blankets and playing poker, trying to deceive each other.
We need to remind. In 1991 it was possible to use the middle position of Russia for the Eurasian development, but the United States chose to plunder us by our kleptocrats, I suppose, in order to prevent the strengthening of Europe. It gave America a small gain in time, but made the situation worse in General.
Now, having lost more than a quarter century, the West (by sanctions) returns to fight those people whom it allowed to start the robbery in 1991.
Dear Sirs, all that you as leaders of the USA, Russia and China need to undertake is to make the first step. Set a task to define global problems and ways of their joint decision.
I believe that the future poses the following universal tasks:
• formation of the image of the human future in an egalitarian society, while preserving the nature of man as an image and likeness of God;
• replacement of consumerism by the society of knowledge and skills (replacement of material needs by non-material);
• energy and transport, based not on the combustion of hydrocarbons;
• research and development of near and far space (creation of interstellar space engines, probes and ships);
• solution to the problem of environmental pollution (emissions and waste).
All these tasks can be solved only by common efforts.
And remember: history shows that you cannot achieve a good deed by wrong means.
Then you will go from idea to a method, and then only involve general people with their ambitions, likes and dislikes into action. There is no other way, I suppose. In any other case, the weakening of America, as Zbigniew Brzezinski rightly believed, will lead to increased competition between countries and global confrontation.
Недавно мне довелось прочитать книгу Збигнева Бжезинского «Стратегический взгляд: Америка и глобальный кризис», и в оценке текущей ситуации я почти полностью разделяю его взгляд на положение дел в мире.
Проведенный в ней критический анализ, лишенный почти всякой сентиментальности, заслуживает самого пристального внимания действующих администраций США, России и Китая.
Лишившись конкурента в лице СССР, Соединенные Штаты и их экономическая и социальная системы подверглись деградации. Америка, по мнению Бжезинского, сохранит глобальное лидерство до 2020 года, но затем стремительно утратит его. Общество Соединенных Штатов, зацикленное на потребительстве, угасает так же, как Старый Свет в Европе. У демократического мира нет своего образа будущего. Его разъедает самоубийственный эгоизм. То же самое мы видим и на верхушке российского общества.
Мы подходим к 2020 году и точке перелома. Увеличивается разрыв между богатыми и бедными, растут миграционные проблемы, накаляется ситуация на границе с Мексикой. И нигде не видно каких-либо стратегических, устремленных в будущее решений. Американская администрация демонстрирует в этом вопросе общую рефлексию и упование на силовые возможности Соединенных Штатов, тактику сдерживания.
Наши российские олигархи – по сути тривиальные предатели родной земли, живущие по древнеримскому принципу:
