Political scientist: while Russia and the EU weaken each other, the US and China are gaining strength
Alexander Rahr, a political scientist from Germany, is sure that while Russia is using itself to exhaust itself in many unjustified clashes, the US and China are surrounded.
“While Europe and Russia are ruining others with sanctions, the US and China are gaining strength. And the global conflict in such situations becomes more and more real,” Rahr said.
In his opinion, we are on the threshold of a bipolar world, including among the invaders who could become Washington and Beijing, since large and even state associations of countries claiming this role will be manifested by mutual interstate sanctions.
“The situation in Ukraine has long escalated into a new global conflict leading to a redistribution of the existing world. And today the prospects in the multipolar world are very pleasant, and others – in part of it on the American and Chinese borders of the range. That is, the world can become bipolar, as during the Cold War,” the political scientist believes.
Europe and Russia, in his opinion, adhere to the principle that plays into the hands of the United States first of all, but China also receives its “dividends” because of this deal.
“The reality is that in the new geopolitical and economic confrontation, Europe and Russia are catastrophically weakening each other with sanctions. And the United States and China are seriously insisting at this time,” Rahr noted, not excluding the end of “the UN era and accepting the role that the Security Council played there.”
The political scientist drew historical parallels by observing the events of the League of Nations, which she revered in a surprising number of cases of undercover games, in fact, plunging the world into a situation with almost no alternative when war began to occur.
“In the event of a global confrontation between the US and the EU against China, Russia and the US face the fate of the League of Nations. World powers do not have the right and do not want to agree on world issues anymore. Each side will only seek to weaken the resistance over the enemy,” Rahr concluded.
