But then visionary European statesmen faded away. Where are the fathers of Europe that really believe in the European identity? Who are the Europeans? You go to Paris or you go to Portugal, you go to Poland, and you ask, who are you people? They&#8217;ll tell you, we&#8217;re Portuguese, we&#8217;re Spanish, we&#8217;re Polish. Who are the people that are really European? The people in Brussels, in the EU bureaucracy. Europe has not been able to move to the level of patriotic identification with the concept. Geopolitics now turns into new format \u2013 G-2 plus, and China, which is one of the poles, try to avoid being included into another pole\u2019s problems \u2013 US. The absence of an ideological collision between US and the Chinese is what differentiates both of us together from our conflict with the Soviet Union. \u201cIn both cases, there was intense antagonism, in part because of conventional geopolitical reasons, but in part also because of profoundly conflictive ideological aspirations.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.foreignpolicy.com\/articles\/2014\/07\/21\/a_time_of_unprecedented_instability_a_conversation_with_zbigniew_brzezinski\" target=\"_blank\"> www.foreignpolicy.com <\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Kremlin\u2019s Machiavelli is revealed as a reckless gambler leading his country into economic and political isolation.<br \/>\nFinancial Times:<br \/>\n&#8220;The Russian authorities now face a very difficult choice. If they co-operate with an international investigation into the MH17 atrocity, the results are likely to be extremely embarrassing. But if they block the investigation, shelter behind conspiracy theories or even send troops into eastern Ukraine, they will encourage an even fiercer international backlash,\u201d Rachman writes. Besides economic isolation, \u201cpolitical isolation also looms,\u201d he underlines. \u201cBy allowing himself to be sucked into an unnecessary and destructive confrontation with the west, Mr Putin is also engaging with the wrong problem,\u201d the author continues. \u201cFor all Moscow\u2019s paranoia about Nato, the real strategic challenge to Russia is the rise of China.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ft.com\/cms\/s\/0\/cc3ca75c-10c5-11e4-812b-00144feabdc0.html#axzz38AiUXME6\" target=\"_blank\"> www.ft.com <\/a><\/p>\n<p>The author thinks without Russian elite, Putin would be nothing.

Bullough advices Western authorities to follow the assets: the yachts, the mansions, the estates, the professional sports teams \u2013 most owned via Western shell companies and funded via Western banks. \u201cIt is here that the West has the leverage it needs, if it wants to solve the Putin problem before something even worse happens than the downing of Flight 17,\u201d the article writes.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/articles\/oliver-bullough-putinism-thrives-on-dirty-money-1405984666\" target=\"_blank\"> online.wsj.com <\/a><\/p>\n<p>As for deploying UN peacekeeping mission, Steinmeier said, \u201cthis bill should be signed by every country, including Russia, and it is impossible at the present moment.<br \/>\nBild:<br \/>\nGerman Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier in an interview with the Bild newspaper told new sanctions \u201chad an impact on Russia before the final decision was made.\u201d Capital flight, the economic blow, sanctions \u2013 that\u2019s what we have now and Russia is already paying a high price for its policy,\u201d the minister underlines. \u201cDespite everything, the German diplomat believes that it is necessary to increase the pressure on Moscow,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bild.de\/bild-plus\/politik\/inland\/ukraine\/bild-interview-aussenminister-steinmeier-36921656.bild.html\" target=\"_blank\"> www.bild.de <\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Dutch press has revealed that the Russian Rosoboronexport arms supplier, exporter Buk missile system, which brought down the flight MH17, took advantage of the tax benefits of small European country to sell sophisticated weapons systems to dictators like Muammar Gaddafi.<br \/>\nABC:<br \/>\n \u00abIt is quite possible that administrative-legal export procedure of Buk rocket system was managed and validated from Rosoboronexport subsidiary in Amsterdam,\u201d Fernando Heller retells the article in De Volkskrant newspaper.
