Former CIA adviser spoke about the loss of the United States to Russia and China in the "geopolitical poker"

Washington in this situation was in a state of geopolitical loss. This was written by an American expert, former adviser to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States, James Rickards, in an article for The Daily Reckoning.

According to the American analyst, the recent meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping is something more than the usual negotiations between the leaders of the two states. Rickards called the meeting "a party to celebrate the new world order." The United States, because of such a game of China and the Russian Federation, can be relegated to the background, a former adviser to American intelligence believes.



Rickards uses the analogy of a poker card game. In his opinion, three actors are involved in this game - the United States, Russia and China.

There's an old saying: if you're sitting at a table and you don't know who the loser is... then it's you.

- notes the analyst.

Russia and China have united to resist American hegemonism. As a result, the United States finds itself in a losing position. In fact, the United States is losing to the Russian Federation and China in the “geopolitical poker”.

One can agree with Rickards' opinion, since the two largest nuclear powers find themselves in a state of joint opposition to the United States. Even with the help of its European allies, the US is unlikely to be able to win a simultaneous confrontation with Moscow and Beijing. Now American experts are talking about this more and more often, analyzing the situation that has developed due to the Ukrainian conflict.

    I hope that the Russian Federation and China really unite. But still the countries of the West are very strong and rich. It won't be very easy.

      Nevertheless Russia and China should not lull and relax against the United States.
      For any rat driven into a goal is very dangerous for others. Yes, and chickens are counted in the fall. And don't say gop until you jump over!

      THE MAIN confrontation between the US and Russia and China in the world more to come!

      Especially considering the fact that China and the Russian Federation did not even think of uniting. China is now simply trying to assert itself and strengthen itself on the world stage as an independent player. Singing along with the United States, this cannot be done, hence the "own game" is positioned - for all the good against all the bad, but at the same time different from the political channel of both the United States and the Russian Federation. At the same time, China is ready to strengthen economic contacts with the Russian Federation, but only to the red lines of the United States - an escalation of tension with the latter is not included in China's plans.
      As well as the unconditional support of the Russian Federation, because this will mean following the policy of the Russian Federation in the wake, which is unacceptable for China, since it contradicts the main plan - to become an independent political force

    The outcome of the war in Ukraine is still unknown - it's too early to say who the loser is.
    So far, only one thing is clear:
    If, as a result of the NMD, the Nazi, Bandera, revanchist regime is preserved in Kiev, and Ukraine retains access to the Black Sea - the Russian ports of Odessa, Nikolaev and Kherson - this will be Russia's largest geopolitical defeat for centuries, the consequences of which will be felt by generations of Russian people.

    The game has just begun and it is still too early to draw conclusions about the loss. The old world order will continue to live for a long time, primarily because China is simply not ready for the role of a new hegemon/leader.

    On one scale, the golden billion of the USA, Europe, Australia, Japan ..., and on the other - Russia and China. It must be admitted that the united West is more united, more technologically advanced, and the initiative, the sanctions pressure, comes from there. It is also united in really working unions and blocks. This is the basis of its military and economic superiority. But the other side is just focusing. Or rather, think about it.

    IMHO. The fundamental question is whether the alliance between China and Russia will be able to ensure the transition of the planet's civilization from a monetary economy, which is the cause of all conflicts. to something more meaningful and most importantly fair, where goals are determined by scientific institutions, one of the closest is the moon and subsequently mars

    If we use the analogy with a card game, then the US point flies into the auditorium ...))
