An article in The Economist  explains how former KGB operatives have come to run the country once again.  but they are tacticians,not problem solvers.  It used to be Us versus them in the Cold War with Western Europe conveniently hiding under our nuclear umbrella. Today the players in globalism might include

USA and Britain and Austrailia
Far East Korea Singapore Phillipines Japan Taiwan
Western Europe, the  Euro currency
Saudi Arabia and member states, OPEC
Iran Syria Pakistan and allies like
Russia
and India
and then there is China
And finally everyone else including Africa and South America

Gee this sure got a lot more complicate, no wonder the UN can’t get anything done.
