Eurasia as we (and the U.S.) knew it is dead - Pepe Escobar

``China's immensely ambitious New Silk Road project will keep intersecting with the Russia-led Eurasia Economic Union (EEC). And that will be the day when the EU wakes up and finds a booming trade/commerce axis stretching from St. Petersburg to Shanghai... It will take time -- and troubled times. But Eurasia's radical face lift is inexorable. This implies an exceptionalist dream -- the U.S. as Eurasia hegemon, something that still looked feasible at the turn of the millennium -- fast dissolving right before anyone's eyes... Bye, bye Zbigniew Brzezinski. Your grand chessboard hegemonic dream is over.''
