SURLY SUFFRAGETTES or CRAFT IN THE KREMLIN...
It is not to be supposed that there is any pressing need to here discuss certain failed foreign policy directives, mandates etc.
However it is I suppose worth considering the fall from grace of certain Western powers due to strongarm tactics, lack of humanity and the like, while these same western nations have spent long discussing and imposing the merits and validity of peculiar local myths, environmental change, feminism, the noble savage ad nauseum, certain rather important ingredients of fiscal might have been allowed to lapse.
Within the deaththroes of the worlds banking power (UK) and the slow dissolving of the military and economic largesse of america has arisen an old and considerable power, of both military and economic as well as political might which may well prove almost supreme.
Naturally I refer to our friends the Russians and their still not inconsiderable empire, though this uprising has been of an open and obvious nature as well as fairly rapid, over the last decade or so, no overtures of a proper diplomatic nature have been carried out, the old alliances of the CCCP remain as do many of the opinions.
While I admire the Russians and am glad to see their rise, as well as (perhaps spitefully) the fall of the insular and arrogant nations that tried to hold it in check, there are certain serious issues that arise, can Russian and Western nations ever in the near future keep imagined ideological differences out of policy?
I bring this matter up, mainly because it came to my head before anything else did, however that being said it is a subject that is being intentionally ignored (in the main) due to its uncomfortable nature.
