The roots trace all the way back to anti-chinese prejudice and hatreds in the 19th century, and the expansion of US imperialism throughout Asia., with its military culture of bases surrounded by sex and drugs establishments.

THE SAKER—Here we come across another list of possible reasons: first, it is undeniable that while Yeltsin almost destroyed Russia as a country, Putin single-handedly “resurrected” Russia in an amazingly short time. From a country which was in tatters and a population which wanted nothing more than to become the next Germany or, failing that, at least the next Poland, Putin turned Russia into the strongest military power on the planet and he completely reshaped the Russian perception of themselves and of Russia. Not only that, but Putin used every single move by the West (like, say, sanctions, boycotts or threats) to further strengthen Russia (by means such as import substitutions, international conferences and military maneuvers).

Found at inclusiveresponsibility.earth, the site features excerpts from each chapter and presents the key themes of the book.
