“ From the very beginning of the conflict, Russia, realizing that relations with the West were crumbling, made a sharp turn toward non-Western countries - especially China, Iran, Islamic countries, but also India, Latin America and Africa - clearly and contrastingly declaring its determination to build a multipolar world.……”

I watched that change as I was happening.....During Obamas term their hatred of each other was so very evident....the day Obama sent his wife to appease China with her visit was so obvious he knew Putins tour to other nations was working and obama sent his wife and announced his “Pivot to Asia”.....Putin already was in full swing.

I recall as well bringing it to peoples attention here - that Putins moves then should not be ignored as he was defiantly gaining old friends back again. Few understood and didn't take note.
