KARL SANCHEZ—Both Putin and Lavrov have publicly stated the Euro-Atlantic security system is now dead. What will replace it is a Eurasian Security Structure based on the indivisibility of security, which the UN Charter, previous OSCE Treaties and China’s Global Security Initiative are all based upon. To arrange such a structure, the consent/participation of the Outlaw US Empire isn’t required. Eurasia is a well-established geographical entity that has no parts within the Western Hemisphere. It may or may not include the islands that closely surround it—I’m thinking the UK, Japan, and Philippines. Thus, relations with the Empire aren’t required.
Medvedev: And quite frankly, it is not clear whether it is needed at all…
The second "it" is "full normalization" of relations with the Outlaw US Empire.
