Paul Craig Roberts: Russia can defeat West at any time Russia can still win its geopolitical game against the West using its "trump card", which it has so far prefered not to use. The head of Gazprom, Alexei Miller had earlier made a statement about a possible rejection of the natural gas transit route through Ukraine at a meeting with EU Energy commissioner Maroš Šefčovič. The father of "Reaganomics," Paul Craig Roberts published an article in the Foreign Policy Journal commented on the news by saying that the change in transit route is the "trump card" of Russia. Roberts also notes that the hegemony of the United States might be weakened by an alliance between Russia and China. Russia and China are creating alternative financial institutions to get away from the sphere of influence of the western financial system, Robert writes."Imagine, for example, the dire consequences for the West if Putin were to become personally involved as a result of the numerous affronts to both Russia and Putin himself. Putin can destroy NATO and the entire Western financial system whenever he wants. All he has to do is to announce that as NATO has declared economic war against Russia, Russia no longer sells energy to NATO members," Craig writes in the article.
