Western pressure on our country have not yielded the expected results, but on the contrary strengthened its position in the international arena. And this, it seems, began to realize the American experts. In this regard the debate that erupted on the famous TV channel CNN.
“At past meetings of the G20 Russia happened to encounter censure. Remember the 2014 summit in Brisbane, where the Russian President is punished with sanctions for the Crimea, became a pariah among equals. In China, it is unlikely to be repeated: Beijing has already declared Putin the guest”, – said the TV channel political analyst Maria Lipman.
It is echoed by columnist Matthew chance: “Some time after the Crimea the West has said about Russia’s isolation; the painful American and European sanctions were supposed to force Moscow to feel the consequences of violations of international rules. But Russia seems to have returned to the world stage, becoming a power that “big twenty” even at all desire could not ignore.”
And it’s hard to disagree. While in Washington, has calculated what benefits will the U.S. isolate Russia, our country is rapidly increasing their weight in different parts of the world.
Russia was able to establish close cooperation with China, contracts are for tens and hundreds of billions of dollars.
