Why is Russia confident in being cut off from the world Economy

By kanan Alibayov

Ukriane-Russia war isn’t an isolated event there is a much bigger game is in play here. Historical Geopolitical relations have been more or less the same in today’s world. I have previously stated it the article as the conflict begun, talking about how its all connected including Ukraine thorugh Belt and road initiative project (BRI) as China pose to lead the world through economical domination by reviving and advancing silk road that dates back 300 BC which firmly established around 1,400 years ago during the time of Marco Polo’s travels.

The historic Silk Road was a vast network of ancient trade routes or “superhighways” connecting China and the Far East with the Middle East, Europe and Africa.

The BRI Project today connects 145 countries as part of the Belt and Road initiative project out of 195 countries worldwide which became partly operational in recent years

BRI has also laid foundation for BRICS countries like Brazil, India, China and South Africa which economically unite 41% of the world population.

Russian President Putin recently stated that Ukraine advance ‘going according to plan’ which shortly followed by Russian backs switching to Chinese card system as Several Russian banks said on Sunday they would soon start issuing cards using the Chinese UnionPay card operator’s system coupled with Russia’s own Mir network, after Visa and MasterCard said they were suspending operations in Russia.

Announcements regarding the switch to UnionPay came on Sunday from Sberbank (SBER.MM), Russia’s biggest lender, as well as Alfa Bank and Tinkoff.

Russia may be going through economical lost due to never seen scale of sanction by western countries and alliance but definitely is a well calculated act to gain economical and Political Superpower status in Europe in the long run as it’s military is advancing in Ukraine to provide security for Chinas’ MEGA infrastructure meanwhile US’s Ukraine push with NATO burned all the bridges with Russia for future reconsideration..
