RUSSIA
Napkin Politics
Asia Times, Jan. 15
“A new triangle is emerging in East Central Eurasian geo-economics among Russia, Kazakhstan and China. … The dynamics within this emerging triangle appear to conform to Putin’s geopolitical vision, which he explained to a dinner companion during his last visit to Brussels by drawing a map on a napkin. In that world view, Putin grouped Russia and China together, while lumping his European hosts in with (as he put it) ‘your American cousins.’”
Despite some diplomatic romancing between Russia and Europe, these two regions are fundamentally different—evident in Putin’s grouping of Europe with America. Bible prophecy tells us that Russia and Europe will eventually abandon their surface friendship and clash in the most violent battle ever to shake this planet.
