Russia opposes Globalism

Both Russia and China ignored all the nonsense perpetrated by the UN while Europe was gobbling it up.  Now Europe needs to do a self-examination to assess the damage done by all the UN scams they embraced over the past decades.

Russia is basically a European country, but is not in the EU.  It is in the G-20 and WTO and is tainted by some of the goofy ideas that come from these groups.  Russia and China will certainly have bi-lateral trade agreement and these should prove to be the best way to grow.

Russia should be able to annex adjoining property occupied by ethnic Russians where the citizens’ vote on annexation like they did in the 80% vote in Crimea, but Russia will need to be careful to avoid being seen as a predator.

Russia is the largest country on the planet and needs to expand its private economy to send the message to their citizens that they can expand their economy and their prosperity if they increase their productivity.  I expect that the US can help the Russians make this happen.

Russia is a Christian country, but it has Muslim states and they have Muslim trading partners, so life is tricky for them. They have had Muslim uprisings, but dealt with them firmly to settle them down.  I expect the US can learn a thing or two about this from the Russians. 

Russia needs the rule of law and a track record of protecting private property rights. They need to clean up local government corruption and concentrate on improving the economic well-being of Russian citizens.
