GEOPOLITICAL TRANSFORMATION OF INDOCHINA . — "VESTNIK ANALITIKI" (Russia), 2010, №2 (40).
1. In Russia, Indochina is imagined, to the great degree, as something exotic, some world outlaying provinces. But tectonic geopolitical shifts in Eurasia once again put the region, along with China and India, to the world history foreground scene. In the past half a century, Indochina, as the South East Asia as a whole, became the arena of fierce struggle for influence between the USA, the USSR and China. The American geopolitical technologies of anaconda’s ‘democratic noose’ were in use against Eurasia since the second half of the twentieth century. Their first defeat took place in Indochina. According to the American geopolitical dominoes doctrine, if the South Vietnam fell under Communist control, Communists would run all neighboring states in the South East Asia.
2. The tectonic geopolitical shifts in Eurasia once again put forward to the world history foreground scene, along with the Celestial Empire and India, - Indochina. In this, the essential role is played by the moral courage based on Confucianism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Communist ideology. China, after 500-year-interval, has become the world trading power. The geopolitical transformation is bringing in Eurasia a new geopolitical 500-year-cycle, the Southern Seas Great Hour has stricken foreshadowed by the East Asian Dragons. This is what is to define Indochina’s geopolitical code. China together with the Asian Dragons are challenging the West not just in the seas, but also in the sky and cyber spaces.
3. The United States have drained out its abilities to exploit and inculcate the ‘democratic values’ by means of “the most fair bombs and rockets” in Eurasia. The US battle for Indochina is lost. The geopolitical confrontation of the great powers in Indochina has carried away 5 million lives, taking into account the Vietnam war and the genocide in Cambodia. The USA failed to turn Indochina, and Thailand first of all, into its bridgehead to destabilize the Peoples Republic of China. Many an analyst thinks, that it is primarily the United States that profits from globalization. But the Eurasian peoples, thanks to the very globalization, much quicker learn the true essence of America’s ‘struggle’ for democracy that is some fig leaf cover of the US true mercenary ends in the interests of its home monopolies.
4. The events in Eurasia, including Indochina, the coming Southern Seas Great Hour make Russia’s hopes to revive the Great Silk overoptimistic. The precious time, taken by its revival, is lost in infinite imitation of progressive development. After the Soviet Union collapsed, and the world Socialist system was betrayed, and the Cam Ranh military base was dismantled, Russia has lost its geopolitical influence in Indochina for ever, it failed to convert it into sizable economic presence in the region.
