Russia is a part of the West and at the same time is a part of the Asia-Pacific.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Economic activity is moving from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific ocean... Russia has a certain natural advantage because it also borders the Pacific Ocean.
There is an enormous difference between Russia and Western Europe.
And the big question for the West, of course, and to the Europeans is, what other countries, which were formerly part of the Soviet bloc, should be incorporated into western institutions?
Of course the United States and Russia have different interests. Nevertheless, both are strategic partners.
For the European Union, Russia is as important politically and economically as China is to the U.S.
Russia is very big and very varied. People are different in different regions.
The United States being in Asia is unambiguously a good thing for the region.
Chechnya is part and parcel of the Russian Federation.
Russia is an Eastern Orthodox country.
It's becoming plainer and plainer that what is going on in South America and in South-Eastern Asia is directly related to the war in Russia, for they are all parts of one single Great World War.
