We in the West hear that Russia is “isolated in the world” as a result of
the crisis in Ukraine. If one is speaking about the Eurovassal states and the
Anglosphere, that is true. But considering humanity as a whole and among the
rising economie of the world, it is the US that stands isolated. And even in
Europe, cracks are emerging. Hungary and Serbia have not joined the sanctions
regime and of course most European countries will not and indeed cannot turn
away from Russian energy imports crucial to their economies. It appears that
the grand scheme of U.S. global hegemony to be brought about by the US move
to WWII Redux, both Cold and Hot, has hit a mighty snag.
