Abstract
The Coup d’Etat in Ukraine was the moment when the post-Cold War world genuinely ended for Russia. After February 2014, Putin has been remarkably successful in frustrating Western projects on former Soviet territory: he has halted NATO expansion, strengthened the role of Collective Security Treaty Organization, consolidated Russian friendship with China, Iran, India, Afghanistan, Syria, Serbia, Egypt, Greece, Israel, tightened his hold on Crimea, and, thanks to the Ukrainian adventure and the Russian military intervention in Syria, he took the West by an unpleasant and humiliating surprise. Nevertheless, Moscow’s diplomatic restart and the Russian modest military revival did not change the situation. Europe alone vastly outranges Russia in economic strength and military spending. America’s global reach is unparalleled. Despite the refusal by most European States to invest in their militaries, Moscow still lack the strength to stage a continental Blitzkrieg. The NATO-Russia Council (April 20th, 2016) has not led to change anyone’s mind. Sanctions remain in force, even if they have not transformed Moscow’s behaviour, while, by contrast, they have discouraged Russian cooperation with NATO on issues including Islamic terrorism, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. Even worse, the Western economic attack has pushedFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
