BATTLE FOR WORLD / SPUTNIK NEWS | September 4, 2019: The fifth Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) in Vladivostok, Russia has convened with emerging concerns of a looming global recession and the US-driven Sino-American trade war raging on since March 2018.

At the conference opinions note that "We’re moving towards a multipolar world, I think slowly but surely", says Thomas Graham, the managing director of Kissinger Associates, a New York City-based international geopolitical consulting firm.

The American scholar Graham said Russia needs to maintain a strategic autonomy to balance between China and the United States, while "being a constructive player in the emerging multipolar environment". And warns that "Overreliance on one or the other I think is bad for Russia."

(BattleForWorld: I think that can been taken as a threat. We have the Kissinger Associates working on behave of the ruling elites [New York, London and Tel Aviv - the same clique plunging the Middle-East and the world into war], who are as always dictating what Russia should and should not do.)

Graham concedes that Washington's unipolar domination is over and that the US "will have to deal with the multipolar world".

At the moment, "Part of the discussion in the United States is what should be the role of the United States in the world; that’s not a unipolar world, a world that the United States does not dominate the way it theoretically could have in the early years after the breakup of the Soviet Union. We will eventually figure out how to do this", Graham said.

"Some of the things that President Trump has done now in levying tariffs against our European partners, the Japanese and so forth have undermined the common front that would be beneficial for the United States to have at this point", the scholar noted.

(BattleForWorld: President Trump is feuding with China because that is what the unipolar group [the neocons and their allies] in the US want him to do. That is also why Trump is prevented from working out any agreement with President Putin of Russia. And Trump, it appears, can't do anything otherwise, because if he does, the elites are on the phone reminding him.)
