The below article discusses USA's efforts in recent years under
the Bush regime to encircle Russia and China on the eurasian
continent and the resulting countermoves made by Russia and China
to break out of the american encirclement.
The Sino-Russian Alliance: Challenging America's Ambitions
in Eurasia
by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya
But if the middle space [Russia
and the former Soviet Union] rebuffs the West [the European Union
and America], becomes an assertive single entity, and either gains
control over the South [Middle East] or forms an alliance with the
major Eastern actor [China], then Americas primacy in Eurasia
shrinks dramatically. The same would be the case if the two major
Eastern players were somehow to unite. Finally, any ejection of
America by its Western partners [the Franco-German entente] from
its perch on the western periphery [Europe] would automatically
spell the end of Americas participation in the game on the
Eurasian chessboard, even though that would probably also mean the
eventual subordination of the western extremity to a revived player
occupying the middle space [e.g. Russia].
- Zbigniew Brzezinski (The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and
Its Geostrategic Imperatives, 1997)
Sir Isaac Newtons Third Law of Motion states that for every
action there is an equal and opposite reaction. These precepts of
physics can also be used in the social sciences, specifically with
reference to social relations and geopolitics.
America and Britain, the Anglo-American alliance, have engaged in
an ambitious project to control global energy resources. Their
actions have resulted in a series of complicated reactions, which
have established a Eurasian-based coalition which is preparing to
challenge the Anglo-American axis.
Encircling Russia and China: Anglo-American Global
Ambitions Backfire
Today we are witnessing an
almost uncontained hyper use of force military force in
international relations, force that is plunging the world into an
abyss of permanent conflicts. As a result we do not have sufficient
strength to find a comprehensive solution to any one of these
conflicts. Finding a political settlement also becomes impossible.
We are seeing a greater and greater disdain for the basic
principles of international law. And independent legal norms are,
as a matter of fact, coming increasingly closer to one states
legal system. One state and, of course, first and foremost the
United States, has overstepped its national borders in every
way.
- Vladimir Putin at the Munich Conference on Security Policy in
Germany (February 11, 2007)
What American leaders and officials called the New World Order is
what the Chinese and Russians consider a Unipolar World. This is
the vision or hallucination, depending on perspective, that has
bridged the Sino-Russian divide between Beijing and Moscow.
China and Russia are well aware of the fact that they are targets
of the Anglo-American alliance. Their mutual fears of encirclement
have brought them together. It is no accident that in the same year
that NATO bombarded Yugoslavia, President Jiang Zemin of China and
President Boris Yeltsin of Russia made an anticipated joint
declaration at a historic summit in December of 1999 that revealed
that China and the Russian Federation would join hands to resist
the New World Order. The seeds for this Sino-Russian declaration
were in fact laid in 1996 when both sides declared that they
opposed the global imposition of single-state hegemony.
Both Jiang Zemin and Boris Yeltsin stated that all nation-states
should be treated equally, enjoy security, respect each others
sovereignty, and most importantly not interfere in the internal
affairs of other nation-states. These statements were directed at
the U.S. government and its partners...
