An interesting look into the world of Vladimir Putin, and his control of Russia. Determined to bring Russia into his vision of a world leader, the book explains how Putin is expanding and controlling Russia's foreign policy. Led by his anger at being denied his seat at the table by America, he seems to go out of his way to "stick his finger in our eye". It also covers Russia's relationships with Europe, China, and the Middle East. And the meddling with our electoral process. There is no way around it. Putin is a megalomaniac thug. One totally dedicated to his own self preservation. I doubt that we (the US) could have done anything different to thwart his ambitions. But it does amaze me that we are so bad at predicting the rise of these cretins, and coming up with ways of stopping them before they become so influential. A good read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"How did Russia manage to emerge resurgent on the world stage and play a weak hand so effectively? Is it because Putin is a brilliant strategist? Or has Russia stepped into a vacuum created by the West's distraction with its own domestic problems and US ambivalence about whether it still wants to act as a superpower? Putin's World examines the country's turbulent past, how it has influenced Putin, the Russians' understanding of their position on the global stage and their future ambitions -- and their conviction that the West has tried to deny them a seat at the table of great powers since the USSR collapsed. This book looks at Russia's key relationships -- its downward spiral with the United States, Europe, and NATO; its ties to China, Japan, the Middle East; and with its neighbors, particularly the fraught relationship with Ukraine. PUTIN'S WORLD will help Americans understand how and why the post-Cold War era has given way to a new, more dangerous world, one in which Russia poses a challenge to the United States in every corner of the globe -- and one in which Russia has become a toxic and divisive subject in US politics."-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Como seria de esperar, alguns capítulos são mais interessantes do que outros, mas nenhum deles está a mais nesta obra. Além da autora descrever correctamente os eventos, mesmo aqueles que passam despercebidos noutros autores como o caso de Dima Yakovlev, a autora mostra-se capaz de fazer também análises muito interessantes e, comprova-se agora, certeiras. A este respeito a última frase deste livro é reveladora da capacidade de análise e antevisão da autora: “no mundo de Putin, é prudente esperar o inesperado”. ( )
