of enormous power, economically and militarily. It is slow to gather steam as these historic forces go but the first sounds of the steps can already be heard. Putin's initiative to form an alliance of Brazil, Russia, India and China ( interestingly, known by the acronym BRIC) will soon be joined by Venezuela,Iran and other oil producing nations.Already that alliance contains over 50% of the world's population and enormous military and economic power.If the EU joins this semi formal alliance, it will become a formidable force against which the U.S. and Britain will have very little influence.

The message seems to be: you have already picked the low hanging fruit with your military adventure in Iraq. From here on, every threat you make against vulnerable countries like Iran or Venezuela will be met with force.

I think we may ironically find ourselves as isolated as the Nazis were in the late thirties.
