Writing in "Argumenty i fakty," No.1, Eurasia party leader Aleksandr Dugin said that in 2005 U.S.-Russian relations will become more tense because the two countries "have strictly opposing geopolitical interests." Dugin, who is known for his anti-American sentiments, said he believes that the United States is seeking global hegemony, while Russia is striving to restore its status as a world power. To this end, Moscow is attempting to reinforce its influence in the CIS and actively cooperate with Asian states. "This [political course] cannot end any other way but in direct conflict with the United States," Dugin wrote. Because Russia is unable to solve its problems - including economic ones - alone, it will look for alliances with practically all countries, but especially with those that oppose the United States, Dugin concluded.
Russia will develop its relations with the countries of "old Europe," such as Germany, France, and Spain, "which will passively help Russia," Dugin wrote in "Argumenty i fakty," No.1. "Germany and France, which realize their vital dependence on Russian [natural] resources, will look to approach Russia behind the scenes," he added. Russia will also develop its ties with China, especially if it manages to reach agreement on controlling the migration of Chinese to Eastern Siberia. As for Japan, it is very profitable for Tokyo to look for rapprochement with Moscow, regardless of a solution to the Kurile Islands problem, Dugin wrote.
Dugin also wrote in "Argumenty i fakty," No.1, that in 2005 Russia will begin a rapprochement with some Muslim states. Such countries as Syria, Iran, and even Saudi Arabia will resist the U.S. "Broader Middle East and North Africa" initiative and will seek support against it everywhere, but primarily in Russia, Dugin wrote. Finally, in 2005 Russia may revive its relations with old Soviet clients in Southeast Asia and Latin America, such as Vietnam and Cuba. "In 2005 there will be a new round of the 'Great Game' between Eurasia and the Atlantic region," Dugin concludes. Observers noted that although Dugin often expresses extremist views, his article in "Argumenty i fakty" is notable as it is a popular mainstream weekly with a circulation of 3 million.

[I][B] - "Russia will also develop its ties with China, especially if it manages to reach agreement on controlling the migration of Chinese to Eastern Siberia."[/B][/I]
This would indeed be an ideal solution - that the Chinese government itself would prevent its own citizens from invading Russia!
:D

Okiereddust,
Who and what is Alexander Dugin? I have read some of his articles, but he seems pretty far out a good part of the time. The "Eurasia" idea is just loony.

He's the most prominent "National Bolshevik". Here's A [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Dugin]Wilkpedia article[/URL] on him. It and National Bolshevism sounds fairly far out in ways to me and others basically still coming from a western perspective too, but really as it is so four-square against alot of the same things we're against, such as neo-con expansionism, its interesting to try and understand his eastern perspective and views.

Okiereddust,
Yes I know, but some of his writing still donn't make much sense. I did enjoy reading some of his articles.
Well neo-con expansionism looks like some out of anti-jewish or anti-Zionist cartoon. I mean the Neocons are worse than works fiction from NSDAP in the 1930's so silly they would be funny if they were not for real.

I heard that the USA-bought-and-paid Uzbekistan-Georgia-Turkey oil pipeline just opened the other day. Russia is apparently very disturbed at these developments, practically right at their doorstep yet completely left out of the deal. Can't say I blame them. It's a little creepy that Smirky Bush was just in Georgia a few weeks ago visiting his "democratically elected" Puppet-Client Shaakashivilli congratulating Georgians on their "march to freedom". What complete nonsense! WTF is going on??
Mr Dugin seems to be spot-on correct in his predictions.
