We always post GEAP’s public announcement with which we are once again largely concurrent, and we strongly recommend
their website
GEAB no.61
16th January, 2012
This GEAB issue makes it six years that the LEAP/E2020 team have shared their anticipations with their subscribers and readers of their public briefing on the development of the global systemic crisis each month. And, for the first time, in the January issue which presents a summary of our anticipations for the year to come, our team anticipates a year which will not result solely in a worsening of the world crisis but which will also be characterized by the emergence of the first constructive elements of the “world after the crisis” to use Franck Biancheri’s phrase from his book «
The World Crisis: The Path to the World Afterwards ».

Vladimir Putin is one of the few remaining world leaders with the gumption to obstruct Washington’s agenda of full spectrum dominance. The recent Russian elections provided the context for a full-scale attempt to destabilize the country. Spearheaded by the infamous National Endowment for Democracy, the script included the usual cast of western-coached characters, including a blogger, without which a “color revolution” would not be complete. Engdahl analyzes the geo-political ramifications of Washington’s rash movements.

The fact is, Turkey cannot afford such poor relations with almost all its neighbours — Iran, Syria, Iraq, Armenia, Cyprus, Israel. With France and EU, too, things are rocky.

The redistribution of global power modifies relations between great powers and invites them to reconsider their diplomatic priorities. While in the aftermath of World War II the future of Europe was proactively shaped by the United States, or more precisely, by a group of American “Wise Men”, China is now in a position to have an unprecedented impact on the European integration.
