Eric Zuesse — Vladimir Putin’S Basic Disagreement Amongst The West

In summary, Putin advocates national sovereignty together with opposes liberal internationalism together with liberal interventionism based on equally roughly other cast of imperialism. The West, the reverse.

More broadly, Russian Federation is traditional patch the West is liberal.

This reason of the broader conflict betwixt the East together with West, Global North together with Global South. 

This conflict is dialectical.

The economical reason is capitalism versus socialism.

Both capitalism together with socialism are internationalist.

This indicates that the historical dialectic at this dot is close the determining the type of globalization inwards damage of ideological framework together with political control.

Will the futurity last dominated yesteryear global upper-case alphabetic quality or something else to a greater extent than along traditional lines.

The acquaint from of capitalism is neoliberalism, which implies neo-imperialism together with neocolonialism.

If this is non to give-up the ghost the dominant framework, what is?

I don't reckon Putin or anyone else real beingness clear on this. As a Russian Orthodox traditionalist together with Westphalian nationalist, he seems to last looking backward rather than forward. 

The Chinese leadership has the most articulated together with nuance option that combines elements of traditionalism, nationalism, globalism, socialism, together with capitalism.

We likely won't know much close this until the fog of state of war clears together with the dust begins to settle.
