The World does not know what "Real Politics" are. Not for USA, England, France, Germany and for sure not for Russia.
Recently I wrote an article about Real-Politics in Germany ("Not Hollywood that's dying") with Angela Merkel and her CDU and CSU, Steinmeier-Muentefering and their SPD and "DIE LINKE" with Oskar Lafontaine, Gregor Gysi and Lothar Bisky.
But much more interesting is RUSSIA.
Putin and Medvedev do not understand one per cent of "Russian Geo-Politics". They are PART of the game and therefore, they are blind as Bush, Cheney and other Berlusconi-Sarkozy Stupids.
The future chances of Russia in this breaking-down World must be explained to Russians like to little Children:
A. Dictatorship of Folks
First was there a Dictatorship of folks under spell of Marx, Lenin and Stalin. It worked well, but was inhuman to the max.
Then came Gorbachev, got under spell of Capitalism and kissed in all naivety and friendship his Buddies, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, and prepared the terrain for Milton Friedman's and Jeffy Sachses Chicago boys to shatter the whole Systems and Wealth of Ex-Soviet-Union, today better known as "Russia".
Drunken Yeltsin plaid the game of the Milton-Jeffy Junk-Economics and created
B. Oligarchism
A handful of rotten Russians got billionaires over night, took all profits out of Oil and Gas to Swiss and other Banks, they would have taken with them the Oil and Gas itself, inclusive all Real Estates, out of Russia, if this would have been possible.
Came Oligarch-Friend of Yeltsin into the play, shattered Chechnya to get the respect of Russian folks and became new Hero of his land. But he was a patriot and wanted turn back the watches and get the Russian Energy Wealth back into its frontier. The only way: Tell about tax-cheating and arrest the crippled Oligarchs and buy out their monster-firms to let them go into National Firms. Very good Politics.
C. One man Aristocracy
It was time to turn the neo-liberal shit of U.S. interest into an aristocracy of Putinism. Not a bad idea, at least, the Euros and Dollars came again on Russian banks and enriched population, mainly in Moscow, but also to some extent to the rest of Land until Vladivostok.
It was time to seek for another Head to govern Russia and his best friend Medvedev came into the play. I do not say, this was wrong. Most probably, Medvedev it one of the best choices, Russia and Putinism could ever have taken.
But now the Capitalism is going to break down, Stock Exchanges, Banks, national industries, cheapness games of China, Consulting untouchable junk out of India, Africa lost without aid from nowhere and South America becoming one big Slum.
USA goes into recession, also Europe, China will follow and the rest of world, inclusive Switzerland and Russia.
Therefore, I will give here instructions to Putin and Medvedev and ask for a billion to be paid for consulting to Rene Delavy.
D. Autarky and Autonomy
Russia has big land reserves that will take profit of Climate Change. They have immense raw material and energy stuffs. They can keep themselves out of total Breakdown of Systems - if they leave Globalisation and create Autarky and Autonomy.
Just try to live on your own. Help farmers to modernise lands agriculture. Help Industry to produce all themselves. Keep energy for yourselves or sell it at highest prices.
Modernize your rotten Army to keep USA and other Hegemons on distance, by having the most sophisticated Intercontinental Missiles ever seen. Russia has the intelligence, the workers, the plans and the past Soviet-Union experience.
Conclusion
I know that I was writing her a modern fairy-tale. But since everything of value I am writing, perhaps one per mille of the most clever chaps in this rotten World will find out, that this WAS NOT A FAIRY-TALE but the only way out, to let survive in peace and relative good health some parts of the global population, the most decent one...
Best regards, Friends.
