European fur coat, Asian belt, Far Eastern scarf

European fur coat, Asian belt, Far Eastern scarf. A note.


If we look at the international situation out of inside of  the constructed modern Russial media-space, then a European set is the most voluminous and significant (for modern Russia)  . What's not there! And the issues of the "Ukrainian peace settlement", and the actions of the "Western actors", and... and... and…

Asian issues are, of course, important ones... Iran, India - Pakistan, India - China, China (Mainland) - Taiwan, Thailand -Cambodia… All this is hidden (for an average Russian observer) in (by) some kind of haze of tropical exoticism.…

The "Far Eastern direction" is beginning to sparkle with a sand and with a snow of North Korean resorts. This direction is beckoning with air flights from Russia to North Korea and back.

However, today we are contemporaries of an interesting complex of international events.: "Karabakh" - "Syria" - "Iran" - "The Zangezur corridor ("Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity")". Plus other notable and significant processes, phenomena and events from the same series.

It follows that the "Asian direction" has gradually gained an advantage over the "European direction" in terms of its importance for the modern Russia.

The specific (comparative) weight of foreign policy levers has changed.: military actions are inferior in importance to sanctions and counter-sanctions, sanctions are inferior to duties (customs tariffs), duties (customs tariffs) are inferior to tectonic geopolitical changes.

So, the military are trying to win the wars of the past, diplomats are trying to change foreign policy configurations that have become a thing of the past, - and the "Asian problem" has gradually (imperceptibly) gained an advantage over the "European problem".

As for the "Far Eastern direction", it is still in a state of ripening.

Those who have a such (corresponding) desire, they can to try themselves as tourists at North Korean resorts.
