The neoliberal elites are so deeply ideological that are out of touch with reality. They have abandoned the principles of realpolitik and pragmatism for those of their own Crony Capitalism Jihad against the global working class.
Hence allying with any partner that does not form part of the cabal of neoliberal group-think and crony capitalism is a no, meanwhile sure they will find ways to apply 'disaster capitalism' principles and get the most (financially) out of it.
Is deeply concerning that the two most active competing ideologies worldwide right now are deeply nihilistic in a bad sense of the word: the cult of death (religious far-right jihadism) and the cult of greed (ideological far-right economic jihadism). In some cases they are even mixed up (with the 'sacred land' of Saudi Arabia being the center of conflation and destructive behavior generation). Nietzsche predicted this era btw.
Russia would have to give up Iran first... dont see that happening...
Europe and USA would have to give up Saudi Arabia first, don't see that happening.
It is time to bring the nightmare to the jihadists.
How many millions more have to be killed before Hahn considers it a nightmare?
These 'analysts' don't have a clue how to fight 'jihadism'.
TINA to their oil/gas in their view Ignacio....
Russia trying to cut off the construction of the pipelines thru Syria so EUR doesnt have that alternative/competitive supply...
So I dont see this hookup happening the author proposes between Russia and the west....
Russia wants oil/gas hegemony so they can get the best price for their resources in EUR and USD terms... EZ and US want options in supply by bringing gulf gas thru pipeline...
These economic factors are tainting what should be a pure military response against the terror states....
Right, the response is to cut down the need of geopolitically important resources (which has an added environmental benefit).
Centuries ago nations fought over sources of gold, now we fight over sources of oil. The result is the same: everyone but a few are screwed.
We have the technology now to start a deep transformation of our energetic and logistics model that does not relay so much on carbon energy sources both as source and as an energy vector. The transformation is accelerating beyond what was predicted just a couple years ago as the cost of solar is getting more competitive even without subsidies against the heavily subsidized carbon industry.
Anyway, this attacks probably will be music to the ears of the FN in France, anything that pushes the EU closer to the abyss will be a catalyst for much needed change and catharsis.
From this side of the pond it looks like the wheels are starting to come off in the EU and EZ for a variety of converging reasons. It's a powder keg.
One world, borderless, multicultural liberal pipe dreams going down the toilet. Probably too late for Europe, however. Muslim migrants aren't exactly cheerleaders for the multiculturalist vision, viz, assimilation, yet Europe is stuck with em. Oh well.
Europe has been multicultural for a long time. Depends on how you interpret various definitions.

I get that, Bob. But I'm driving at the non assimilating hordes arriving by the millions throughout her land who are not the least bit interested in live and let live.
Well, that's an immigration issue. Or a humanitarian issue, when dealing with refugees. Or a security issue, when dealing with jihadists masquerading as all of the above.
There is some truth to the claim that multiculturalism is part of the Canadian identity. So maybe it wasn't practical for other countries to have adopted it.
If there is a major terrorist attack in Canada, multiculturalism may be doomed here as well.
