    The Global South Is Shifting Geopolitics in 223

    In the last year, in travels from Davos to Doha and Nairobi to New Delhi, I have heard a recurring chorus from political and business leaders of the developing world. They feel that the West has dominated the global economic and geopolitical narrative for too long. They sense that an era of U.S. dominance is gradually ending. And in a world in which the United States increasingly tussles with China, they don’t want to have to pick sides. After all, why do business with only one big partner? And why let the West shape global politics on its own when the rising incomes of your middle classes allow you to have a louder voice?

    Whether it’s sports, business, or diplomacy, we’re no longer in a clear unipolar or bipolar world. It’s a multipolar one, where an increasing number of countries are jostling to be part of the picture.

    what's considered victory has shifted

    if russia is driven out of eastern ukraine, it that victory?

    nope, it has to include crimea

    if russia is driven out of eastern ukraine and crimea is that victory?

    not if putin remains in power

    so now victory = regime change

    anything less will make the US look weak

    "the US isn't powerful enough to remove putin?"

    unacceptable

    ma-pride ang america

    this is why i believe this war is going all the way

    "Prevent the Reemergence of a New Rival"
    Washington, D.C., February 26, 2008 - The United States should use its power to "prevent the reemergence of a new rival" either on former Soviet territory or elsewhere, declared a controversial draft of the Defense Planning Guidance (DPG) prepared by then Secretary of Defense Richard Cheney's Pentagon and leaked to The New York Times in March 1992. Published in declassified form for the first time on the National Security Archive Web site, this draft, along with related working papers, shows how defense officials during the administration of George H. W. Bush, under the direction of Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Strategy and Resources I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby tried to develop a strategy for maintaining U.S. preponderance in the new post-Cold War, post-Soviet era.
