Behind the calls for peace and stability, a dark deal is unfolding: Russia plays the barbarian, America plays the puppeteer. This analysis reveals the emerging blueprint for a new world order rooted in exploitation and betrayal.
In the grand theater of global politics, history rarely repeats, but it often rhymes. Today, if we squint hard enough at world events, an uncomfortable analogy emerges: Russia in the 2020s resembles Nazi Germany of the 1930s, while the United States plays a role eerily similar to that of the Soviet Union — a hidden enabler, a shadowy backer of a future catastrophe.
In the 1930s, Soviet Russia pumped resources into Germany — through secret trade agreements, industrial collaboration, and military training — helping transform a devastated post-Versailles nation into a battering ram against Europe. It was a cynical calculation: let Germany soften the West before the Red Army marches in.
Today, the same logic appears inverted, but intact.
The New Geopolitical Theater
Under Donald Trump's rhetoric and the cautious pragmatism of the White House, the United States now seems to tolerate, if not subtly assist, Russia’s aggressive transformation into a geopolitical berserker. In exchange, Washington eyes access to Russia’s colossal natural resources and a strategically weakened Moscow that could serve U.S. global interests.
Russia, for its part, has embraced full-throttle imperialism: its war in Ukraine is not simply a border conflict; it is the reenactment of old expansionist dreams, echoing Hitler’s Anschluss and Sudetenland campaigns.
Meanwhile, U.S. policy increasingly suggests a willingness to “München” Ukraine — to push Kyiv into territorial concessions in the name of "peace," effectively legitimizing Russia’s land grabs.
This year, proposals circulated openly among U.S. officials: Ukraine should "freeze" the front lines, cede Crimea, and accept the occupation of four regions. Just as Britain and France once chose peace at Munich over honor, America now risks sacrificing Ukraine on the altar of expediency.
Why Washington Needs Russia
At the core of this Faustian pact are three cold calculations:
Cheap Resources:
Russia sits on $75–80 billion in proven oil reserves and is rich in gas, rare earths, and arable land. With an underpaid workforce — and millions of Central Asian migrants earning less than 70% of Russian average wages — Russia offers the West a vision of an enormous, exploitable economic colony.Geopolitical Leverage:
A dependent, battered Russia can serve as a strategic counterbalance against China and Iran. Washington dreams of peeling Moscow away from Beijing — or at least keeping Russia too embroiled elsewhere to truly strengthen China.Future Bargaining Chip:
By salvaging Putin’s regime through sanction relief or “soft landings,” America ensures it can trade concessions from Moscow in future negotiations — on energy, on military bases, on Europe’s security architecture.
Saving Russia from collapse isn’t a mistake; it’s the plan.
Russia’s Motives: Imperialism Reborn
Inside Russia, the motivations are brutally simple. Putin's regime survives by manufacturing external threats and victories. Expansionism is not a side effect; it is the regime's raison d'être.
Ukraine is only the beginning: Moldova, the Baltics, and even broader swaths of Eastern Europe lie within the Kremlin’s daydreams of restoration. War legitimizes repression at home, mobilizes patriotic fervor, and silences opposition.
Thus, Russia mirrors 1939 Germany: first territorial consolidation, then militarization, then blitzkrieg.
Two Future Scenarios: Both Grim
Scenario 1: First China, Then Africa
2025: U.S. and Russia conclude a secret strategic understanding after the Ukrainian war is "frozen." Russia is rewarded with Crimea and eastern Ukraine; sanctions are quietly softened.
2026–2029: Russia builds forces in the Far East; the U.S. encourages a showdown with China.
2029–2030: A two-front assault on China: Russia claims parts of Xinjiang or the Pacific rim; the U.S. intensifies tensions over Taiwan and the South China Sea.
2031–2035: After China's collapse, the U.S.-Russia axis turns toward Africa, exploiting its raw materials and destabilizing regimes.
Scenario 2: Immediate Focus on Africa
2025: Same U.S.-Russia pact; but the first target is Africa.
2026–2028: “Peacekeeping operations” mask land grabs across the Sahel and Eastern Africa.
2030+: With Africa partitioned into U.S. and Russian spheres of influence, the stage is set for an economic order rooted in colonial exploitation.
In both scenarios, Russia is the blunt instrument — the sledgehammer — and America is the quiet architect.
The Exploitation Model
The ultimate vision resembles a brutal neo-colonialism:
Russia supplies labor and soldiers.
Africa supplies minerals and resources.
America reaps strategic control and economic domination.
Russia becomes the global underclass — a supplier of cheap goods, raw materials, and cannon fodder — while the U.S. consolidates control of global supply chains.
Why Washington Will Keep Propping Up Moscow
Every logical step points to one conclusion: the U.S. will never allow a total collapse of Russia.
It needs Moscow weak, exhausted — but functional. A Russia shattered like 1991 is a gift to China; a controlled Russia is a gift to America.
By “saving” Russia today, Washington buys a future where it dictates the terms of global conquest — one front at a time.
