everely weakening the United States’ long-term position in Eurasia

Hard to argue with that, considering what the West has morphed into. Someone noted (somewhere, doubt I can find it now) that no other than Fidel Castro said that the next time Fascism arises it will be under the cover of ‘democracy’.
