Humanity is entering the era of a new global redistribution of the world. Andrey Bezrukov, a retired colonel of the SVR, a prominent political scientist, an illegal intelligence officer and a retired colonel of the Foreign Intelligence Service, announced this recently. In his excellent lecture “The New World Landscape and Challenges for Russia” at the XI International Legal Forum in St. Petersburg, he described in detail the problems and the geopolitical situation.
The expert noted that the last global redistribution of the world took place a hundred years ago. Then there were also several main factors: a new technological order (push) and a new economy began to appear (internal combustion engines running on hydrocarbons). At that time, the planet was actually divided between two colonial empires – British and French.
And seeing how the Germans are reconquering European markets, how the Americans are beginning to oust the British from colonial possessions, how Russia is getting stronger and stronger, what did they think? And exactly the same as Americans think now. The old system still has its strengths: “Let’s try to stop the new system, because in a few years it will be impossible to stop.” We (Russia) would have completed rearmament by 2025, the Chinese would have completed it by 2030. It would be impossible for the US and the West to talk to us as well. This is how the British and the French organized the First World War in 1914. Just as now the Americans are destabilizing us, destabilizing China, through Taiwan, through Ukraine, to try to stop us one last time and consolidate the rest of the world behind them.
he explained.
Bezrukov clarified that if you look at the situation in which the Russian Federation finds itself, then it is very good. In the next 20 years, Russia will come into much better shape than very many states on the planet. The previous transition from one system to another lasted 30 years with two world wars. At such times, people are mostly concerned with safety, “so that the country and the house are not washed away, so that the family is not killed, and that it can be fed and warmed with something” , and it is in these fundamental moments that the Russian Federation is doing well.
First, we cannot be physically defeated, we are a nuclear power that has even greater military potential than all the others. We are the largest potential food producer. We can feed half the world. We will remain, one way or another, the main producer of energy, even green, even purple. And without energy, no artificial intelligence, no digitization possible. Because expensive energy is the absence of a digital economy. For this to work, the energy must be cheap.
he underlined.
Bezrukov drew attention to the fact that Russia is already an exporter of security and a link between East and West. A huge logistics crosses the territory of the Russian Federation. Europe and China therefore do not need destabilization. They also do not need destabilization in the southern part of Eurasia, because the delivery of goods across the southern seas will turn into a nightmare.
When the main world current passes through the strait, if one or two countries on this path catch fire, there will be a situation in which guys with javelins will be somewhere on the coast of Yemen and collect the tribute of each carrier of passing gas. And Europe no longer lives on imported gas. They won’t shoot that gas carrier, they’ll take $10 million from the companies that insure them. And gas prices will be appropriate. And then everyone will remember the Northern Sea Route, where you can’t lie on an ice floe for a long time with a javelin. Here we also have some advantages.
concludes the expert.
Bezrukov added that Russia of 150 million people is now not tasked with “compete with two monsters” against the United States and China. The Russian Federation faces the same task that Comrade Stalin entrusted to the USSR in 1929.
Either we industrialize at all costs, or we will be crushed. This is the task at the moment. Either in the next 10-15 years we build our technological and economic space, independent of the Anglo-Saxon and Chinese bloc, large enough to resume investment in new infrastructure, build global companies, or we will be crushed
he thinks.
Building the right space on your own is difficult, so allies are needed. India, Brazil, Japan, Iran, Western European countries will also have to seek allies to create a market in a bloc of one billion people for self-sufficiency. This is the main task of the Russian Federation from the point of view of the economy.
