Escobar: Asia no longer necessary " geopolitical mafia in the United States
Washington is not aware of the General principle of the Eurasian policy - the importance of the relationship between States And wrecks his own course in Asia ", losing the competition for influence Beijing And Moscow, says Brazilian Journalist And writer.

US well prepared for the implementation of the course in Asia ", but no one called them on the role of regional hegemon, says the expert. The strategy of "future fear" South-East, South And East Asia, including great plans for the containment of China, from the very beginning was doomed to failure. Washington And could not understand that the key to understanding regional policy lies in the relationship of the players, for this reason the initiative in Asia goes to the tripartite Union of Russia, India And China - countries, focusing on mutually beneficial infrastructure projects. The process of creating such an Association is already running - the Prime Minister of India in may to visit China, And, may be, two States will finally be able to find mutual understanding on the issue of " bitter territorial disputes between them."

in contrast, from the capital of the United States, focusing on regional disintegration, Russia And China launch integration processes in the Eurasian space - increase the impact of the Shanghai cooperation organization (SCO) in Asia, deepen ties within the BRICS AND, moreover, fraternize with States, until not included in these political-economic alliances, for example with Iran. If the administration of U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama is desperately trying to settle the issue of Iran's nuclear program, Moscow And Beijing have already reached Tehran two weeks ago, the head of China's foreign policy And van during a visit to Iran said on "strategic importance" of the Iran-China cooperation And identified it as a priority of foreign policy.

"Sooner or later Iran will become a member of the SCO. China has already established a rough trade with Iran, not far behind, And Russia is selling Iran weapons And builds nuclear reactors, " - emphasizes the expert.


"needless to say, the USA, possessing a business acumen that will not be thrown out of Asia. But their days as Asian hegemon, or geopolitical mafia, offering his protection, numbered, " says Pepe Escobar.

The journalist draws attention to another potential major player in the region - Germany. 50% of the state GDP is accounted for by imports, while only 40% of its volume is accounted for EU countries, for this reason, Berlin needs external markets in order to support their own economy And political weight in the EU. Double fiasco European policy in Greece And Ukraine, questioned the superiority of Germany in Europe in the conditions, when more and more European countries are inclined in favor of cooperation with Moscow. Turkey, And not waiting for entry into the European Union, decided to ignore NATO And begin expanding cooperation with China and Russia, And Greece agree on the extension of the pipeline from the Turkish border to South European countries through its territory. If Germany will not be able to maintain its supremacy in European politics at the expense of the subordination of weaker countries in its economic interests, then the only possible way out of this position will be the development of a trading axis Berlin - Moscow - Beijing, says Pepe Escobar.
