Velina has emerged as the world’s foremost analyst of rapidly changing relationships among nations. Well before Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin publicly announced their partnership, Velina had already deemed it as the Dragonbear rival to US-led order. But just as the Dragonbear is now facing unanticipated economic limitations, she has been turning our attention to the newly crowned world’s most populated nation with the world’s highest economic growth rate, India, and to rapidly changing coalitions among other groups of nations which look to be forming alternative economic growth and security clusters.

I fullheartedly recommend Velina as the prime European source of geopolitical expertise in this new era of great power competition that play out in so many and so diverse domains across Eurasia and the wider world. Velina’s observations have often alerted me and kept me aware of what comes next. I never ignored her words

I also fell victim of the climate activists today. I should have been in Moldova now, but all the flights to Frankfurt (connection flight) were cancelled this morning because of them. Pity!
The last is the new normal and the West has zero preparedness as it’s been in denial over the last ten years. They don’t see the DragonBear is a “threat multiplier”. The new BS NATO definition of China as enabler of Russia could also apply to Russia as enabler of China. #Velsig
ICYMI Last year, a combined Russian and Chinese naval force patrolled near the coast of Alaska in what U.S. experts said appeared to be the largest such flotilla to approach American shores.

The Chinese are now playing the Europeans like a fiddle (see the statements coming from China regarding the visit of the Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba) because they saw from Russia how easy it works. Our Western elites are like an open book to the DragonBear. Sorry to say it.
The US and Canada have intercepted two Russian and two Chinese bombers flying near Alaska in what a US defense official said was the first time the two countries have been operating together. #Velsig #DragonBear
