Another well written article, thank you! But I am afraid China is in for another surprise. After having read The Hundred-Year Marathon by Michael Pillsbury, I am very convinced the Chinese are masters in trickery and fooling the other nations. It was the old Chinese idea that as there can be only one captain on a ship, there can only be one hegemon in the world. And the Chinese are really fed up with the arrogance and humiliating agression of the US and so they very stealthily tricked the Western countries. I am afraid that after Russia has done its war, and the US is fallen apart, the Russians will be stabbed in the back by the Chinese. I hope I am wrong, but the signs are not good. Thanks again Alex also for your input on Medvedev, I had missed that.

The full title of Pillsbury's book is The Hundred-Year Marathon, China's Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower. This title says enough.

Sounds like a wish list from Mr Medvedev. I am not even sure what he means by 'Fourth Reich'. Words can be interpreted in different ways. The term was first used as a rallying cry in the 1930s by German opponents of the Nazi regime. The groups who employed the term spanned a broad political spectrum. Whatever, living under fascism is on the cards for all of us unless we say "no" quickly and continually.
