Furthermore, one cannot rule out the possibility of Washington leaving the New START before its extended expiration date in February 2026 under the pretext of alleged Russian “violation” ...
... of comparable strength The very concept of a “security umbrella” is absurd when it comes to a physical threat from an enemy of comparable strength. Since we are far from thinking that a threat to Europe could come from North African countries, China, or the Middle East, the only such enemy is Russia. However, it is linked to the United States by a relationship of strategic deterrence, based on the direct and immediate threat of causing unacceptable damage to each other’s territory and population....

... inevitably bore the imprint of the rivalry between these two powers. In addition, other centres of power, despite having their own voice, still could not act as alternative and independent centres of power equal to the superpowers. To a certain extent, China could afford such a role. However, it was also focused on the tasks of modernisation, concentrating its foreign policy on its own key regional problems.

Due to its size, Greater Eurasia includes such states as Russia, India and China, and none of them will ever be able to agree on who else will play the role of regional leader.
